Joel is getting bigger and bigger every day! Yesterday we spent with my family in Wauseon, and he was really well behaved all day. I think he might have overdone it, because for the first time in weeks he did not go to sleep after his last bottle and screamed for over an hour before finally settling down around 11:15. He slept then until 8:30 this morning, so that was good. I think he is finally cutting a tooth! He was really cranky this morning and when he was chewing on my finger I felt something sharp, although you can't see any tooth yet. He is also getting really close to crawling. He gets up on his knees and then goes up on his toes. He was rocking back and forth tonight and actually did move forward, but I don't know how intentional it was! He got a bath and settled right down to sleep after his bottle tonight. Yeah!! I am excited about Halloween this week! Trick or treat in Defiance is Thursday and I am taking him to Wauseon to trick or treat at my parents' house and grandma's house. I got him a costume for $5 at Babies R Us yesterday. I hope he doesn't throw a fit about wearing it! More later.....
