July 2010 Happy 3rd Birthday Joel






I know its been along time to post and apologize. Summer is a very busy time for us, just like everyone else. We started our Summer with a camping trip that was a bomb.

Joel just turned 3 in July and is growing by leaps and bounds. He is progressing very well and getting into everything.

We had a nice gathering with lots of food and a Mickey Mouse birthday theme. I made him a Mickey mouse cake with all the trimmings.

Joel got clearance from his Nebraska medical team to have real cake. He loved it!! He had black frosting all over his mouth and it stained his lips and teeth for a day.

Joel loves playing outside and he loves the bath. He got to go swimming in a pool for the first time last week and he loved it. Absolutely no fear!! Remember this is the child that hated his bath's for the first couple of months.

He is in speech therapy 1x/week and is starting to catch on. He says mama, dada, on and a bunch of babble.
He is also signing several words and put 2 words together. His signing words are up, more, read, please and all done.

He loves books and loves having us read to him. He has just started feeding himself with a spoon and loves it. He is becoming independent, and I welcome it.
