2 months old!!

Joel is 2 months old today and he is getting so big and animated. Joel had his 2 month doctors appointment and growing like he should be. He is 10 lbs 6 ounces which is in the 25th percentile. His length is 24 1/4 inces which is in the 25th percentile. His head is 37 1/2 inches around and that is between the 10th and 25th percentile. He had to get 3 shots and an oral vaccination but he did great. He only cried for a minute and then he was fine.

Likes: baths, eating, being talked to, talking, being read to, music
Dislikes: tummy time, his carseat when not moving, being licked by the dogs, spitting up, having his feet touched

Here are some pictures of our big boy on his 2nd month birthday.

PIZZA!!!

We have been searching since we arrived here in June for a good pizza place. While we were out at the Art Festival we decided to try one of the local dives called BAZBEAU and boy was it delicious.

Free at Last

Since Joel has been born we haven't taken him out into public due to not wanting a hospital stay if he gets a fever younger than 2 months old. So this past weekend we decided to take Joel out for his first official outing. We went to the Carmel International Art Festival. We had a good time being out and about with the community. The first thing we did was see the show of the Indianapolis Chinese Center. They had a great show and then we walked around to see all of the exhibits of the artists.

Dog days of Summer

This is what happens when it rains all day and Daisy decides that she is going to try and dig out of the backyard.

Rosh Hashanah

Joel made his first trip to Buffalo this past weekend for Rosh Hashanah. Here are some pictures of his trip. We also made a stop in Cleveland to see our friends Emily and Eric and for them to get a chance to meet Joel. Here are some pictures of the weekend.

Joel update

Here is an update on things Joel is doing in the last 2 weeks.

Joel is starting to get into a routine. We put him to bed around 8 or 9 and then he sleeps until 1:30. Then he gets up again at 5:30. He gets up for the day around 7.

Things Joel is doing: He is starting to smile some. He wants to sit up like a big boy. He is starting to be more alert and actually look at his toys. He is also holding his head up more and more each day.
