Joe is getting a little closer to walking every day!

Here he is practicing a bit:

And now with one hand:

I’m predicting his first wobbly unassisted steps before his next birthday. But you know Joe likes to keep us guessing!

Yes, I know it’s March. But I forgot to do this little roundup for February, so I’m doing it now. I’ll do March soon!

Joe gets so excited when we put his favorite video on. We had to get video of him watching it.

Joe is still a terrible eater, but he’s starting to have some fun with food. Especially Froot Loops!

He won’t eat them, of course, but he has a ball slapping them around on his tray. And Lola happily munches on whatever falls overboard.

We might be the only parents in America who are completely charmed and thrilled to find our child splashing in the toilet or digging in the dog bowl.

It’s just so nice to see him exploring his world!

Joe would spend all day doing this if he could:

The Pepsi grant a while back didn’t work out, but that’s OK! Now there’s a new chance to help CJSTUF get nutritious meals to families stuck in the hospital with sick children.

Kindermusik is offering grants to nonprofits who rack up lots of votes from supporters. You can vote up to 10 times a day, and you don’t have to register at all. Quick and easy!

Just go to this page and scroll down until you see this:

Click that big green “VOTE” button 10 times. And then tell everyone you can think of to do the same.

And then do it again, every day, until Feb. 9.

GO!

Joe’s teacher sent another couple of photos today so we can see what he’s up to there.

After wanting nothing to do with the water table all year, he suddenly enjoys it very much! He gets to splash around, pick up sponges and toys, and generally make a big mess.
