Joel is getting so big! He is pulling himself to a standing position on the furniture now and crawling all over the place. He just started clapping when we cue him with, "yay!!". He's almost into 18 month clothing at this point. I'm pretty sure he thinks his name is "Joel-O" because that's what we call him most of the time. He doesn't say words yet, but he vocalizes 'mamamama' a lot. Occasionally we feed him solid food at dinner time. Joel has his two front teeth and two bottom teeth, so 4 total! He like carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, applesauce and bananas. He smiles a ton and is a happy boy. Oh and I don't know if it was intentional, but I caught him making engine noises while playing with a toy school bus the other day. We sure do love having Joel as part of our family!
