Frustration....

Okay, I intended to post a couple of pictures tonight, but for some reason I can't get it to work. Maybe tomorrow? Anyway, we had planned to get Joel's first haircut this weekend but he was still not acting right on Saturday and slept most of the afternoon. He hasn't exploded any diapers since Friday night, so hopefully he is on the mend. Now I'm not sure about cutting his hair.......hhhmmmmm. Also, we got the BEST Christmas card on Saturday.....Joel's birth certificate came with OUR names on it! I had to read it over and over again. I think it was a gift from God to remind me about what is important and to CHILL OUT about everything else. Joel seemed to be acting more like himself today. The poor baby hasn't eaten anything but bananas, applesauce, toast, and Pedialyte since Thursday! One cute thing...it was our week to work the nursery at church. Usually there aren't any other kids in there, except occasionally a baby. Anyway, Joel was playing by himself with the toys and about 15 minutes before church ended a man brought down two little boys, aged 2 and 3. When they game in, Rob said, "Hey Joel, look. Here are some new guys for you to play with." Joel looked up at them and said, "Guys?". He said it about 10 more times while he followed them around the room.(Okay, that story seemed cuter in person!) He was pretty good with sharing the toys, and he even gave the 2 year-old one of his goldfish crackers! He is making more and more sounds that sound like words. Now he says "Zoe" (Elmo's sidekick), "Bay" for Bailey, and "Wow" every time you plug in the Christmas tree. He is also a master mimic and is very entertaining to see what he will try and imitate you doing! Also, now every time the phone rings he says, "Oh, Issee." (Issee--EE-see--is what he calls Aunt Lisa.) He's so much fun. Today he drug our little dirt devil spot cleaner all over. He LOVES that thing! He was opening and closing one of our end table drawers today and I said, "Are you about done with that, sir?". He looked straight and me and said, "Um...nope." and laughed himself silly. He is so smart...maybe too smart for his own good? :0) Good night....more later....
