A Beautiful Day to Play Outside...

This afternoon was so nice and sunny that I took Joel out in the front yard and let him crawl around for a little bit. He LOVED it! He really likes being outside and was fascinated by the grass and the little landscaping stones. I took a bunch of pictures (surprise!) of him just sitting in the grass. Some of them are really cute. Also this afternoon I was watching a videotape of "Baby Joel" and he was really interested. The first four or five times Rob's voice was on there, Joel would smile and chatter. He did say "DaDa" a couple of times, too! He sat there with me for probably 15 solid minutes watching the tape and laughing. I kept pointing out "baby" and "Daddy" and "Bailey". He would point randomly at the images and laugh. He is changing a lot and starting to interact more and more with what we say and do. Right now he is yelling in his highchair, so I need to go see what that is all about! More later...
