Spring Days...

Joel and I are continuing to enjoy these nicer days now that the weather is warming up. He is growing and maturing a little bit every day. He is definitely at a fun age right now...exploring, chattering, and generally being constantly on the move! We have bought a 2006 Honda Odyssey mini-van, and have turned Joel's car seat around so that he faces front. He really likes that a lot! He is much more willing to get into his seat and loves to look out the window and chatter. He also makes "singing" noises when the radio is on, which is really funny! The bad thing is that he also enjoys tossing his toys up toward Mommy, and then gets mad when he can't get them back. He'll figure it out soon enough. He still is not walking but is getting very close. If he would just let go of the furniture I think he would be fine. Today I stopped at a garage sale and found a zebra ride-on toy that he had played with at a friend's house. He completely loves that thing! He tried to get on it by himself and tends to fall off a lot, but that doesn't stop him from trying! He sticks his face right in the zebra's face and makes funny noises. Then he laughs at himself, which just cracks me up! He is such a wonderful little boy. I really thought I would miss the baby stage more than I do. He is so much fun now that his personality is coming out. We'll see what tomorrow brings....
