Weight Check

Joel had his 5 month checkup today with Dr. Schlundt. I am happy to report that he is definitely eating well. He now weighs 17 lbs. 8 oz. and is 26.5" tall. He's gained 1.25 pounds and grown an inch since his 4 month appointment. It was also time for two more vaccinations. Joel is so brave. He didn't cry at all on the first one and whimpered for just a minute on the second one. This afternoon he's been his normal self...happily playing, sleeping, and eating. I'm so spoiled!

Jumping Joel

Joel loves to stand up in your lap. He doesn't want to just sit; he wants to stand and look around.

So, last week, we went and got him a jumper and he loves it. At first his feet wouldn't reach the ground, so we had to put a pillow underneath him. It took him a few days to get the hang of it but now he's jumping around and swiveling his seat around to see all the differen toys. Here are a few pictures that really captured his joy.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my Momma and to Joel's LeLe!

We love you and hope your day has been fantastic!
