Ballgame and the Fourth of July....

We took Joel to his first Mud Hens game on the 3rd. He did really well during the game, and barely cried at all. However, the post-game fireworks were another story! They were SO loud, and he was scared to death. My sister has a picture of him while the fireworks were going off, and he looks terrified. Mom and Dad felt guilty after that! On the 4th of July we went to a picnic at Lisa and Jason's house and then to Wauseon's fireworks. Joel was a little cranky during the picnic, but he did sleep through the fireworks. Today has been rough....he has cried a lot and has not slept at all. Hopefully he just had a big weekend and will settle back down. Rob helped me take his picture for his fourth month birthday. Joel is starting to be less cooperative, and spent most of the time staring at the bear and poking at him. Mom will persevere, though! :0) The picture turned out cute, and we can retire the bear until next month. Also, he is really trying to roll over a lot. That should come any day now. Before the picnic Saturday he found the "baby" in the mirror in our bedroom. He was cute, smiling and cooing at his reflection! He is currently having a meltdown in his crib, so I'd better go work some "Mommy magic". If I only knew what that was! More later...
