Christmas 2008

For this Christmas we went to the Josey clan in Maryland to hang out with Papa's family. The trip to Maryland was adventurous. We woke up to fresh fallen snow (4" on top of the 8" the day before and the 4" before that). With a check of our flight information, we discovered that our flight leaving seattle was canceled. After much frantic phone calls we eventually got onto a direct flight from Seattle to Maryland. On the plane we wound up sitting next to a group of Teenageed kids that were flying to Washington DC for a convention. They were great to sit next to, as they all wanted to play with Sean. Fine with us, he needed the distraction. Sean did great on the plane. (We landed late at night and went almost straight to bed.)

The first full day in Maryland all the siblings showed up and Sean was the center of attention. I don't think he minded at all. The siblings are Austin, Kristin and Tim. Austin girl freind Lara was there too.

Sean's First Birthday

Sean's First Birthday Party - Held in the park by the freeway. In fact some people who had never been to the park before used either Map quest or Google Maps and the online maps directions said to park on the on ramp to the freeway, and walk in. Of course that is wrong.

There is a wading pool at this particular park, which is why it was chosen. However, some one forgot to fill it up. I guess they heard we were coming... Anyway Sean and the kids had fun playing in the jungle gym area before heading to the table to have cake. we all had lots of fun and enjoyed it too. Those of you who came, thanks again for coming. For those of you who didn't come, you missed out on a great time.

First Popsicle

Dancing Machine

Sean has always loved Music. He manages to always point out the drum kit and he loves to dance along with what he hear's. One day I received a phone call while at work from Mom. She told me that Sean was currently dancing to the Fire Engine Siren's as they drove by. What a hoot!!! He can find a beat in anything. He also likes to sing along on occasion; listen closely and you might hear him.

Walking in Circles

With a number of you coming to town, I thought I'd give you a heads up as to what you are walking into. As you can see, he is mobile now. It is weird to put him down and then look at that spot a minute later and have him be gone. Or put him down, walk into another room and turn around to almost trip over him. Oh well, he's growing up fast.

Father's Day '08

This one was a surprise for me. It was good to see him finally on his own.

The Grand Josey's in Town

Video of Nanna Josey and Grandpa Josey is here. Notice the only clip of Grandpa, he is doing exactly what I remember my Grandpa always doing. Sean got sick shortly after the G's left town and we decided to video some of it, after dinner. That is what you see and what is wrong with Sean's voice. Oh well, he got over it, he sounded horrible for a couple of days, but weathered it pretty well.

Sean's First Meal

Sean's first meal of solid food. Well actually the very first solid food we gave him was some applesauce on Thanksgiving Day (it seamed appropriate, and was only a couple of spoonfulls). We then took a break from the food for a while and this would be the next first food, or his first actual meal of solid foods.

Sean's First Drink

This is the first drink that Sean took, and yes it is water he's drinking out of a glass.
