| Baby Announcement |
Theophilus Kwame Stocking is now the name on the records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for our handsome little boy. We were able to give Theo his baby blessing on January 7th. It was a wonderful blessing and it was great to have our families there. Those who were unable to make it were truly missed but we know that you would have been there if you could have been.

Christgiving Thankmas is how Joey's side of the family makes the holidays go a little longer, also it is a way to prevent fighting for time with the in-laws. We celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving during a weekend in January. We try and set each day to celebrate each Holiday. We have our Thanksgiving dinner one night, Joey's mom has a general store where the children can "buy" different toys. We have a sibling gift exchange. Also there are many birthdays during December and January so we usually have cake to celebrate those. It is a lot of fun just spending a weekend with everyone playing games and catching up on everyone's life. This year we started a new tradition were we compile a video with pictures from all the families of things that happened over the year so that we can hear stories that otherwise we wouldn't hear. Thanks for a wonderful celebration everyone!
Theo is now 2 months! I can't believe it has already been 2 months but at other times I look at Theo and can't believe that he is only 2 months old. He is such a big boy. He has started to smile and coo. He is good at holding conversations it is so cute. Today Joey came home from work and was frustrated but as soon as Theo saw him, Theo started smiling, laughing and cooing which totally brightened Joey's day. It was so cute to watch. Theo still loves his tummy time and is getting really wiggly, by the time he is done being on his tummy he has pretty much moved his body 180 degrees from his starting point. He is starting to grab onto things and hold onto them for a long time. This includes grabbing onto my hair when I lean over him to change his diaper! haha. Here are the stats of my big boy from his Two-Month Checkup:
Weight- 12 lbs: 59%tile
Height- 23.75 in. 80%tile
Head Circumference- 15.9 61%tile
He got his vaccinations at his appointment and did very good with them. He was fussy the rest of the day and had sore legs but overall he was really good. I love him and he teaches me so many things!
