My work is done.

Look at what Joe can do now.

 
He also asks for help when he wants it.

And just to update: He had his 15 month appt this week. He is 31.5 inches tall (63rd percentile) and weighs 18 lbs, 14 oz (0.8th percentile). 

Football Saturday! (this time with a toddler)

This weekend we took Joe to his first home game of the year at UNC. He liked toddling around the tailgate: asking us to hold him, throwing balls, eating hushpuppies - who wouldn't like that? We weren't sure how he would react to the game, but he seemed to really like the energy of it (so much so that napping was NOT an option, but when he got strapped in the carrier to head back to the tailgate he conked out).
