This is Real Life

in the beginning...

Today is James' 5 month birthday. Joel's third birthday is just a few months away. So many things happen in their lives each day; things they say and do that I don't want to forget, and that I want to share. So here begins my journal about our children. There are many anecdotes to be added, but I will start with today and work backwards as time allows.

Highlights of today: James seems to be teething - no "tell-tale" signs except for the insatiable desire to have something in his mouth. He is so sweet though, and smiles through it all. He enjoys having Joel play on the floor next to him. Joel has learned many ways to make James smile and laugh; James always enjoys having Joel nearby.

Joel took a nap today. He is all about being in control - what kid isn't? When he's awake he doesn't want to go to sleep; when he's asleep he doesn't want to wake up. Today at lunch he was eating penne pasta. He likes to try to suck the hollow noodles into his mouth. It's not quite like slurping spaghetti, but he likes that too.
