Just wanted to share one of the first pics of our little "guy." That's right start sending in your boy names now. This will be the 5th grandkid on my side of the family, but the first grandson. On Kirk's side of the family...well, Kate has a son and daughter so there was no kind of firsts for us to have. We're psyched!

I'm writing this entry about myself for once, not Mommy writing about me. I have a mind of my own and my own ideas and want to share them with the world. So now that Mommy has finally fallen asleep (she only cried for 4 minutes) I've pulled myself up to the computer and I want to tell you about Mommy and my trip to the mall yesterday.
We went to the mall to get my picture taken at Picture People for a picture contest and because Mom could get a free picture with a coupon. I slept the whole way there in the car, it's great to have a chaufeur to take me wherever I want to go. But you know what, I wasn't really in the mood to have my picture taken. I know you all think I smile a lot, but yesterday I just didn't feel like it and that's what I said to the photographer. I just sat there. She tried and tried to get me to smile and even had this bright colored feather-duster thing that she waved around in my face and tried to tickle my toes and neck with. What's up with that!?! Just because I'm a baby people think they can be all in my personal space! But it's alright, because I showed her that I wouldn't do anything I didn't want to do. I got to take some fun pictures with Mommy though. I smiled for those so that we could get one of them to give to Daddy. I think Mom was a bit bummed because I wasn't behaving better so I did give her a few good smiles in the end. She wanted a good picture of me because she thinks I'm the cutest and could win the contest.
But enough of that. After the pictures were done, whew, I felt so happy and smiley and talkative, we went wandering around the mall a bit. Mommy has a pair of crocs that she loves and so she stopped to look at the flip-flop crocs at a free-standing place. I thought they were pretty cool too so I grabbed myself a pair of orange and blue ones in honor of my Auntie Anna who is the best goalie in the world and plays soccer at Covenant - we're hoping they go to Nationals this year so I can go see her play in Kansas City. I was pretty pleased with my choice of shoes and Mommy and I kept walking on (well, Mommy was walking and I was hitching a ride in my stroller). I was really enjoying my new flip-flops and was about to put them to the ultimate test, the Taste Test, when Mommy grabbed them away from me. She said that I couldn't just take things that didn't belong to me and then she made me take them back. Oh well, at least she let us sit down and gave me some yummy "puffs" to snack on before we went home.
PS. Do you like the picture of me? This is my new smile, Mommy and Daddy laugh whenever I do it so I guess it's funny or something.

Yes, Joanna still has bright blue eyes. The doctor said that it can take up to a year for her eyes to find the color they're gonna remain. Kirk has brown eyes, I have green so it's kinda wierd for hers to be blue. I kept waiting and waiting for them to change, but now I'm starting to really love her eyes. They are so beautiful.
On another note, sorry my blog is so behind (the side photos/descriptions are still from February). I have no excuse except that last time I tried to update it I messed up my layout and still haven't gotten around to fixing it...and it's so much easier to just play spider solitare when I want to chill at the computer. :)

I had my 2 month check-up yesterday. I now weigh 12 lb 11 oz and am 23 inches tall (that's almost 2 feet). I also had to get three shots. OUCH! It wasn't too hard for my mom because I've screamed like that before. I spent all morning at the Botanical Gardens with my friend Maddy and her mom, Aunt Holly Eisenbraun. I even was awake for part of the time. Life is good and I'm almost over my cold.
Check out this and other new photos of Joanna on Flicker.
