Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!! 2009 was a great year for us and we are hoping 2010 is better still! Joel seems to have really changed a lot just in the last week or so. He is now pulling himself up on his knees a lot and seems much more capable of getting and reaching what he wants. He also seems more "mature" to me for some reason. He has had some problems with sleeping lately, but hopefully now that his cold is getting better that will improve. Rob's brother Randy and his family are here yet tonight and we are having a very quiet, subdued New Year's party. Hopefully Joel will not be awake to ring in the new year, but you never know! He is in the kitchen now watching Uncle Randy make chili. He's the life of the party! :0) Earlier today we tried to get him to wear the 2010 glasses and the New Year's hat....with mixed results! He is so sweet and adorable that even his little temper fits are tolerable. For the time being anyway......! Happy New Year to all!!!
