Joseph Pierce Danforth

Now that I'm a daddy, I'd be remiss if I didn't have a big on-line baby photo album. We've taken a ton of photos and it's tempting to put up a couple hundred of them. But I promiss, I'll try to put up only the really cute/funny/interesting ones, keeping the baby's-first-sneeze pictures to a minimum. I'll also go in reverse-chronological order, so the new stuff will always be near the top.

Swimming

Joe took his first swim at the Louisville Rec Center baby pool. He wasn't quite sure what to make of it, but had a lot of fun kicking in the water and watching the big kids swimming around.

Favorite Toys


Joe is definitely pro-Life.
Ropes are fun too. Mom and Dad think this is a good sign.

Anything to chew on, of course.
The birdhouse!

Cool or Cute, I can do either



Hiking

Joe is big enough now (mostly) to fit in his kid carrier. The day was nice, so we decided to take a short hike in the Flatirons. Joe was unimpressed. Also, check out the nifty baby-viewing gizmo that Charles invented.


Bottles

Joe is fascinated with anything on the table, particularly bottles and glasses. His, mine, yours, it doesn't matter. We think he might grow up to be a bartender. Or a wino.

He knows what these are for, even if he can't quite hold them properly yet.
What's in Mom's bottle?
Don't look so guilty, buddy!

Ready for Adventure

Like his parents, Joe is eager to head out for adventures.

Nalgene doesn't know they make awesome baby toys.
Baby's first backpack.

Maybe I'll just let Mom do all the work.
Or maybe I'll go to California with Dad.

Oral Phase

Everything goes in the mouth.

Organic toe-fu

Joe is okay with the concept of spoons...
...but not okay with the use there-of.

Baby's First Christmas

Some holiday traditions Joe embraces without complaint.
Others cause a bit of terror.

Joe and Dad opening stockings.
Tacky the Penguin is all well-and-good, but the wrapping paper is where the real action is.

He's a little young for it yet, but we couldn't resist getting Joe a wagon.
Just like the sticker says...
