Playgroup Christmas Party

Christmas on the Farm

Matt and I took Joel yesterday to Christmas on the Farm. Joel had a great time seeing all the animals.

Circle of Lights

We took Joel downtown last weekend to dinner and then to see the circle of lights.

Joel enjoying his ice cream after dinner. He insisted he feed himself.

Monkey Joe's

Joel and I went to Monkey Joe's today which is a bounce house place. They have a special area for children under 3 which is nice. Joel didn't like it so much at first but when he found the slides he really liked it.

Hanukkah night #8

Joel's big gift.

Hanukkah night #7

Feeding Daisy

I was in the other room and forgot that I had left the dog food down .. Usually this results in Joel trying to eat it . Well I realized after a few minutes that Joel was being really quiet so I went to check on him .. This is what I found him doing.

15 month appointment

Joel went in for his 15 month appointment and was great. He is 24 lbs 7 oz which is 50%. He is 31 3/8 inches which is 50% and his head is 47 cm which is also 50%. The doctor said that he is developing normally for a child his age. He now has 7 teeth and is doing just fine.

Chloe's Birthday weekend

Pumpkin Train

A couple of weekends ago Matt and I took Joel on the pumpkin ride. Its a 25 minute train ride to a corn field in the middle of nowhere where you pick pumpkins, pet animals, and go on a hay ride. Joel had a great time.
