smile

Yeah! Joel can smile and not just in his sleep! He is being less fussy during his awake periods, which lessens the noisiness that is our house :)

Trevor and Baby Ju

So, Trevor finally said "Joel" and it comes out as "Ju." Until now, Trevor has been referring to Joel as "Baby." He was very excited to hold Baby Ju for the first time yesterday and decided to give him a hug.

tractor

We visited the Lubberts Farm this week, and Trevor had a great time looking at the ducks and sheep. However, his highlight was sitting on the tractor and going for a ride.

concert

Grandpa and Grandma (Nelson) came for a visit to meet Joel and to play with Trevor. They attended a concert in the park, played with Thomas the Train, read books, took walks, and played outside.

park

Trevor had fun going down the slide and using the swing at the park; later, we played in his turtle sandbox.

one month

Today, Joel turns one month. So far, his favorite activities include: eating, sleeping, fussing, and spending time with his bro.

boo boo

Trevor fell on the cement and skinned his knees. Here he is before the accident playing outside and afterwards cleaning his knees in the bathroom. Instead of letting me put the Clifford band-aid on his boo boo, he insisted that it go on his shirt.

mommy's monster

The shirt says it all... he sure can roar!

my couch

Trevor was cool with allowing Joel to sit on his Sesame Street couch until Joel's foot ventured onto Trevor's half of the seat.
