Mommy's Little Love-Muffin!

Adventures continue in the Foster household! Joel is changing and learning SO many things every day. My baby is gone and a little boy has taken his place! :0) He runs all over the house, and now is at the stage that he runs away from you when he has something he knows he shouldn't have! He is very vocal and tries to mimic when you talk to him. No real words yet, but he is close. He tries to comb his own hair with his brush and HATES having his diaper changed. Here lately he has been waking up in the middle of the night every night for an hour or so. I could do without that! I also caught him trying to put Rob's hairbrush into the toilet today. He obviously knows how to open the toilet seat....OH JOY!!!! I have loved him with all my heart since the first time I saw him, but I think this is my favorite age so far. He is starting to return affection, and will seek us out for comfort if he is crying or scared. This week he has started leaning forward and giving me open-mouth kisses when I am holding him and say "kisses". I LOVE it! He always gives me a big smile in the middle of the night when I come into his room. He is he most beautiful, perfect, precious, and adorable little guy in the whole world, if I do say so myself!
