Baby Joe enjoying his first packpack trip with dad at the Iwo Jima Memorial Little Joe turns 8 months old tomorrow and has an exciting few years ahead of him; I recently accepted a position in Belgium and will be taking him and Rachael to Europe with me for what will hopefully turn out to be several years of travel, education, and excitement for him. Rachael and I have always wanted to raise our children overseas and I'm hoping that we can hold out over there long enough for him to experience school in a foreign language and learn about the different cultures the world has to offer before we make a permanent move back to the US. On the development side, he's progressing along quite well. Still in the 25th percentile for height and weight but in the 98th percentile for head circumference, which has me confident he will fill out as he gets older. He recently had his top two teeth come through and has been eating solid, albeit mushed, food on a regular basis. So far
