4th molar making it's appearance

I felt the sharpness of a little corner of his last molar coming in as I felt in his mouth while he brushed his teeth tonight.

After lunch today he let me know he was all finished by saying "all done"...clear as day!

He LOVES books, esp. books with any type of vehicle or tractor in it. He sees a tractor and immediately gets excited and exclaims "tractor" and when he sees a fire truck he makes a siren sound. I had the tv on to watch the 5pm news today and he comes in the room sees a car commercial says "yaaa" runs up to the tv and points to the car...he was so excited, LOL! Our boy is too cute!!

3 molars down

Joel's getting his 3rd molar (bottom L) now just one more (bottom R) to go, although no sign of it yet. We can't wait for our easy going little guy to return...darn molars!

Also, our little man is 16 months old today, wow!

Another haircut

Joel got his hair cut again yesterday...by his Grampy and me :O)
We went out to the mall tonight and stopped at Stride Rite to get his feet measured...they are now a size 5! Glad I got his sandals/summer shoes in 5's athough I have a feeling that he'll be needing a size 5 1/2 before summers over, luckily some of them are sized 5/6.

15 mos

Joel had his 15 mos well check this evening.
He is 31.5 long (59%), 23 lbs 7.5 oz (34%) (he was 23 lbs even at 12 mos. so he is plateauing...we can totally see that he is thinning out) and his HC was 18.

He is doing great! The NP told us "he is perfect"...ha, we already knew that, LOL!

Facinated with fire trucks

Joel is totally fascinated with big trucks, tractors, buses and fire trucks. Josh brought him to the firehouse Friday night and Fireman Tim showed him the big fire trucks, put the lights on for him and let him sit behind the wheel...wow! He got his own fireman hat too! He is carrying around his fire truck this morning, driving it on everything, LOL!
He's 14 months old and such a joy!!

Think now that Joel's molars are in his appetite is back

For breakfast today he ate a piece of blueberry corn bread, a bunch of cheerios, a mixed fruit cup, freeze dried strawberries, more cheerios and a cup of milk.
For snack he had a bowl of mango puffs and water.
For lunch he had a piece of cheddar cheese, a piece of smoked turkey, fresh blueberries, a piece of wheat toast with apple butter, dried mixed berries and raisins, a maple teething biscuit, 2 oz pear juice and 4 oz water.
We still have afternoon snack, dinner and bedtime milk and/or snack to go, LOL!

I was happy to see he ate the turkey, he also ate meatloaf, carrots and broccoli yesterday, he's been getting picky and not wanting to eat meat or veggies lately. Hope it was a short phase...I loved my good eater before...hope he's back!

Joel's got 2 of his molars in

We knew he was getting 2 more teeth on top on either side of his front teeth, but during a good tickle session today I saw that his 2 top molars are through, woh! Maybe that has a bit to do with his grumpiness and being so clingy lately.


On another note, Wrigley has lost 3 of his puppy teeth and already got 2 growing back in overnight.
