Joel Update


Joel is growing so fast! It seems like every once in awhile I look at him and think, "when did he grow?!" It's pretty amazing and fun. Everyone always tells you how fast it goes but it really is hard to believe.

This week we brought Joel into work. He was a regular celebrity. Everyone couldn't wait to see him. For most of them it was the first time. He was pretty smiley. I was grateful for that especially since he had to be woken up from his nap for the trip. He was talking and smiling for the girls and of course they all loved him!

This week he has also found his laugh. When Tj gets home he can't wait to talk and smile and laugh for daddy. In fact Tj got him to laugh for the first time. He is such a happy baby! It's so fun to go in and get him in the morning when he's smiling and talking away.

Joel is tolerating his tummy time better. He'll prop himself up and if I set a mirror in front of him he'll coo and smile at himself. He still only really likes it in small doses but at least he doesn't scream the whole time. He's also getting ready to roll over. This is especially apparent when I'm trying to change his diaper- he'll start twisting his hips trying to roll. He will roll over if you take his hand and help guide him over. On the one hand it's exciting but on the other it will make leaving him places a little more challenging. I guess it's time to go start baby-proofing the house!
