This is how Swine Flu is transmitted

I borrowed this picture from my friend Angus' Facebook album. I thought this was cute and very appropriate for current news. Hope everyone is doing well and practicing good hygiene.

Hope this kid is ok :)

Back On (thanks to iPhone)

Joey just had his 1 year check up. He's now 33 inches tall and weighs 23 lbs 10 ozs.

And thanks to iPhone's blogging app (and thanks to Scott and Brenda for the gift card), I can now post blogs easier through my phone. With FaceBook, I have been very lazy updating the blog but hopefully with this app, I'll be blogging more.

Already a 6 month old...

I can't believe that we haven't updated this for two months but I guess time flies when you're having fun. In those two months Joey has gotten good at rolling around, manages to turn and scoot forward if there is something worth getting a hold of, started eating (a lot!), started sitting up pretty well, and even started swim lessons! Above is a photo from today's adventures over with his friend Jackson. As you can see, he's looking sharp in his Tiger Shark pj's.

Since I've decided to get on top of the photo publishing and I'm a flickr girl rather than a picasa boy, I've created a collection of photos out there. I will be updating this soon with additional pictures but you can look here to get started.

I have been coaching Joey on rolling front to back (he mastered back to front.) I think once he figures out that he needs to tuck his arm he will be a rolling maniac.



As part of his Olympic spirit, Ray has been coaching Joey in the 100 yard dash.

Joey's 4 month statistics

Clearly, Thor is going for the gold here!

Establishing the Thor Growth Fund

A friend of ours took this picture last Sunday. I guess it took the view from an outsider's lense to discover and realize that Joey was born big and will probably grow up to be big.

Just look at this picture. Joey is still a week and a half from the 4 month mark. And Andrea is 5'9 (taller than me )!

So we will look into establishing a Thor Growth Fund for obvious reasons. All proceeds will go into groceries, diapers, and cloths. It will take a 3rd source of income just to keep this bear happy :) (we're kidding about the fund... just slightly).

Roll Over Video

Here is the first footage of Joey learning to rollover.  He had some issues at first untucking his arm after the flip but now, he's quite the pro.  It should be noted that the right way to begin rolling over is to roll over from the tummy to the back (usually during tummy time).  However, much like his mother, Joey likes to do things his own stubborn way and go from back to tummy. Great... all we needed was another stubborn Kim in the house.  What are we gonna do???
