He is getting so big can you tell!

Christmas 2007

Grades

Okay so grades have been posted for this past semester of school for Paul and he did AWESOME! He took a total of 8 classes and received 3 A's and 5 B's. I am so very proud of him, and impressed! It cannot be easy have a full-time school schedual, work, and find some time to spend with Joel and I!

Joel swimming

Well up at the school there is a pool and we took Joel swimming for the first time. It took him a minute to get used to the water, but as soon as he realized it wasn't that bad he was happy!

Ready For Christmas

YEA! Christmas is 5 days away!!! Everyone do not forgot the true meaning of Christmas!

Snow Day

Well it has been snowing here all week and I think it is here to stay for the whole winter (because it is really cold here like single digits). Joel seems to like it when we take him outside during the day his eyes get all big!

Bowling

Paul had his work party the other night and well the last two years it has been a big dinner and a night of bowling. (I like the fact that we don't have to pay for anything!) Anyway this was Joel's first time to the bowling alley and I have to tell you I think he liked it he couldn't take his eyes of the alley!

Sleepy Boy

Joel was so stinking tired and well we were trying to keep him awake so that he would go to bed when we wanted him to. Obviously he was way to tired!

Joel Smiling

I thought I would show everyone his wonderful smile!

Joel laughing

We got Joel to laugh a little on camera! Sorry that the picture is so dark but he started to laugh and I had to get it on video before he stopped laughing. (The sound is the best part anyway.)

13 Weeks

Joel and Jackson

This is Joel's friend Jackson. Joel and Jackson were born just 3 days apart. Don't they both look so cute in their little outfits!!!

Joel and Santa

At our church party the other night Santa was there so we got Joel his first picture with Santa! (And as you can see he is wearing his little outfit with Santa on it).

Grandpa and Joel

Okay for all those who knew or had met my Dad you probably saw him make this face at some point. I tried to find one of him making the same face but was not able to. You can see the resemblance that Joel has to his Grandpa Pritchard.

Sleeping

Alright so he will sleep in his crib during the day, but at night if you put him down in the crib he wakes up instantly. So now I guess I need tips on how to get him sleep in there at night!

Question for the Mother's

Alright so Joel has been sleeping pretty well the only thing is that he will not sleep in his crib! We are not sure why he does not like it. The main place he will sleep is in his car seat so we put a fleece blanket in there and lay him on that and then of course put a 2 blankets on him (and put the blankets under his arms so he can't throw the blanket on his face). Anyway are there any tips on getting him to sleep in his crib? If you can leave a comment do that, or you can email do whatever is easiest! Thanks!!

Bath 1

He sure loves bath's!!

Bath 2

Tummy time

We are working on getting Joel's neck stronger so that he will hold his head up fully. He is pretty funny when he is on his stomach, well to us he is funny!

3 MONTHS OLD

I can not believe that he is already 3 months old!

He is growing so stinking fast. I have to tell you he

is such a wonderful little boy, and is such a happy

baby!

Thanksgiving 2007

Happy Boy

Joel talking to Dad

Joel on the Plane

We went to Oregon to surprise my really good friend Stacey for her birthday at the beginning of November and well Joel did really well on the plane as you can see. I don't think Paul's fingers tasted to good to him!

Joel and Tanner

Tanner really loves holding Joel, if you try
and take him away he will try and take him
back!

Hanging out

I thought that they were just to cute!

A little something to say

Halloween 2007

We had a wonderful Halloween was wonderful Joel was a penguin and boy was he cute! We have this thing at churh that we do for the kids called trunk or treat and the parents hand out the candy (it's pretty fun).

Hello

Sorry there haven't been any new posts lately there will be soon. Our computer broke so we are waiting for the money to go through so that we can go and buy our new computer. So I will have new posts on soon with pictures. Just an update though Joel was just measured and weighted and is now 2 months old 24 inches long and 12 pounds. What a big boy!

Joel playing with Dad

If you listen Paul is saying hiccup because Joel has the hiccups. You can see Paul finds this pretty funny.

Bath Time

He love to be in the water, he's such a happy baby in the tub!
