Some pictures of the "Bebo" AKA Joseph Allen

I know I have been slacking on blogging lately but I have a good reason...we have been busy. A lot has happened this month and I haven't had time to keep you updated...so I am posting a bunch of pictures of Joseph to make up for lack of updates.
Things have been good; we have had wonderful visits with our families, good times with some friends and good times together.
Joseph is getting stronger and better braver at "standing up," he holds on to furniture and walks around them, he is also playing with his "push toys" walking behind them and riding them, well Mark pushes him around the house.  He is also quite the little clown; he is always making us laugh and we enjoy being silly with him. 
We are thinking about going to the coast in September for Mark's b-day and I am also planning Joseph's 1st birthday party.  I have 6 weeks to plan Joseph's party and  3.5 weeks to plan Mark's.  WOW!  I have a lot to do.  (Note to self: start & finish Joseph's First year scrapbook...NOW!)

Please enjoy these pictures and let me know how you are doing.  I'm really not sure how many people "lurk" and/or read my blog so if you do or you are a follower please comment and let me know what you think.

Ok, so we are a day late but that doesn't matter. We took some pictures of Joseph on his little rocking chair and he loved rocking in it. I mean he was really rockin' in his chair; of course Mark and I were scared that he would fall out but he didn't. He's a pro!






On another note: I am asking for all my family and friends to please pray for my Grandpa Santos. He hasn't been feeling well and we aren't too sure what is wrong. The Dr. in the ER says he has been having "mini strokes" and he has the beginning stages of Dementia, but the proper tests have not been done and my family is really scared & worried. I am encouraging my mother to ask for a second opinion to be sure. My Family (my Mom's Side)is so overwhelmed right now; they really need some prayers to help them through this tough time.
My Mom says the only thing that cheers my Grandpa up are pictures of "His Joseph" So here are a couple of pictures of Joseph with his Papa Grande.
