Mickey and Yankees

Joe has been talking a ton lately.  It is funny to think that a month ago I was starting to get worried about his lack of vocabulary.  Now he will pretty much repeat anything and is already starting to string words together correctly...  Here are some of my favorites things he is saying right now and a little background on why.

1) "Mickey" ... he ABSOLUTELY loves Mickey Mouse, he wants to watch nothing other than Mickey and chats about him and his friends (Minnie, Daisy, Donald, Pluto, Goofy) constantly!
2) "Outside" .. a day rarely goes by that we don't hear outside at least 50 times!
3) "Erka "... Joe speak for Erica his favorite teacher!  She just told me yesterday that he tells everyone that Erica is outside with Mickey in the clubhouse (before she gets in to work).. way to put all your favorite words together JoJo!
4) YANKEES!!  He says Yankees constantly, anytime he sees the NY symbol, wears his Jeter shirt, or sees a baseball player or anything baseball.  Not surprising given the amount of Yankees baseball that is talked about and watched in our house. Including by his sister who now knows how to tell if the Yankees are winning, how many outs, who is on base.... Chris is training them well!!!  
5) Sissy ... Kayla is not Kayla or even Beaner to her little brother, she is Sissy and every time he runs happily yelling.."Sissy..Sissy" it just melts my heart!  They are so great together and I could not imagine my world without them.

And because a post wouldn't be right without some pictures.. here are a few great ones..
