Joe's First Christmas





Beaman Family Christmas















Flying Joe










































We celebrated Joe's first Christmas with a bottle of 1990 Dom Perignon...It was Joe's first drink and he thought it was yummy!

Joe and Frankie

Joe in the Snow




Eugene has been getting lots of snow this week. Joe's first!


Laughing Joe

Joe had a serious "blow out" that Daddy was cleaning up.  Joe thought this was so great.  Watch this video to hear what Joe thinks about this. 

Maya's Visit

My friend Maya (who I used to babysit) came to stay with us on her drive down to Napa from Seattle. Joe loved "hanging" with Maya. 







My sweet nephew Parker

AKA: Park, Parkman, Parkster, Park Ranger, and as he says it (with a Boston accent) Paaaka





4-month checkup





We took Joe to his 4-month checkup today.  He's thriving and has completely caught up with his peer group (having been born 1 month early).  15 pounds, 13 ounces, 25 inches long, and a head circumference in the 75 percentile! He handled his 2nd round of shots like a champ.
