Joel is easily amused.

Joel at 9 months

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!





Pretty in Pink. ;)

Hahahaha... oh man!

Santa and Bowling

Jer's dad's office Christmas party was at the Cache Valley Fun Park this year. The boys went bowling for the first time:







And saw Santa:





And these are just a couple fun pictures of Wesley.
Dressed up as a superhero:



One morning I found him on the landing of the stairs:



Merry Christmas everyone!

Lunchtime Fun

I'm a huge fan of Pinterest. I've been getting great recipes and fun ideas from there for the last 6 weeks or so. Here is an interesting lunch the boys and I had today inspired by a Pinterest Pin.

They had a ton of fun making their art!



After we cooked them:







Yum-O!
