Bye Poop!

Joseph enjoys helping Daddy with diaper clean-up. We use cloth diapers, so poopy ones get sprayed with a hose attached to the toilet. At the end, we flush the poo. Joseph politely waves goodbye each time. He usually flushes a second and third time just to be thorough.

Here's Joseph helping with clean-up.

P.S. - We both washed our hands afterward.

Marylon, Art, Rebecca and Squash all visited us for Christmas. Heather made hot cocoa and cookies for the three decorating. Joseph played with the dog all weekend and trampled half a dozen presents while helping. Joseph received a geode from Art and Marylon, a set of "Snap-onz" toys from Mom and Dad many other wonderful gifts. Be sure to check out the Flickr photos for Joseph and me posing with the new rifle.

Christmas morning came too quickly, and everyone had to return home to make work the next day. Before the Haydens departed, we ate a wonderful brunch prepared by Heather. I helped with the bacon, but managed to singe my eyebrows, hair and forearms.

Bathtime Bubbles

Joseph completed two baby swimming courses. He kicked, he floated and reached for the pool toys, but it took him a little longer to discover the master bubble blowing. Fast forward a few months and bubble blowing conquers all other bathtime fun activities. It's fun for baby. It's fun for mommy and daddy. It makes everyone laugh.

Winter Wobblies

Nana sent a very nice pair of winter boots.  They're tall, warm and water proof.  They're the perfect pair of baby booties--if Joseph could just walk in them... Here's a video of Joseph trying his new booties and not getting very far.
