Thank You

You've been saying your own version of "Thank You" for a while, but this is the first time other people understood what you were saying. I was letting some other people watch you at camp while I worked on some other things. When I came back to get you I had all these counselors and campers coming up to me saying "He said 'thank you'! He said 'thank you'!." Granted, you only say "thank you" when you give stuff, not when you receive things, but who's perfect? So I guess "thank you" is your first "word." Go figure, you said two words for your first word!

First Birthday!


You had a wonderful time at your birthday party. The party was done in a turtle theme. It is so hard to find turtle theme stuff that's not TMNT. I think the thing you enjoyed most was your cake. You knew exactly what to do with it when it was set in front of you. We also bought an ice cream cake that was for your guests.

First Haircut

I gave you your first haircut today. I was so nervous. I mainly just evened up the top and left the back alone. You did really well. I don't think you even realized I was doing anything to you.

First Tooth

You finally got your fist tooth! Actually your first and your second came in about the same time. I was beginning to think you would never get any teeth. So far you have done really well with teething. You're not too cranky, you just drool A LOT!

Joel's First Christmas

You had a great first Christmas! I don't think you realized it was Christmas, but you still had a fun time with your cousins and the rest of our family.

Cereal

We finally tried cereal tonight. I think you kind of liked it. You did have trouble keeping it in your mouth, though. I eventually tried giving you a bottle with water in it after each bite. That seemed to help a bit. I think you got the idea, because you started sucking your thumb after each bite. I heard that your Papa has bought some cereal to feed you when we visit. So, I figured I better give you a bit of a head start to get you a little used to cereal.

Rollover

You rolled over today! You had been kind of rolling over for a few weeks, but basically all you would do is turn to your side and rest on your arm. You just couldn't seem to figure out what to do with that arm. Today you figured it out. I kept thinking that you would be late to rollover because I didn't put you on your belly enough, but you proved me wrong.

You really amazed me when I saw you rollover, get your pacifier in your mouth and roll back over. That's my smart boy!
