One thing for certain is that when you're watching a new member of your family grow and explore the world time flies by. Hard to believe that the little man is 7 months already - so there may be a little bit to catch up on.
Lousy winter was so warm we didn't get a chance to use suits like this one much
March flew past with Joel having friends over, going to birthday parties, and hanging out with the usual suspects. He also made some new discoveries and started to really begin to explore the world by rolling around. He may not be a crawler, but he definitely is able to move quickly across a room - he's going to be a menace in future games of log rolling!
Joel turned 5 months old in March
No shortage of clothes for Joel!

April came and went at the same speed of March, though it seemed that Joel was able to get out and do more since it was very warm. Joel went to the zoo for the first time, had his first Easter, had "solid" food for the first time, and was spoiled rotten by the wonderful people from Robert McClure United!
Holy Cramoly! He's 6 months!

Then there were all the great people that Joel was able to see and spend time with. It was great that they were able to hang out with Joel.

And finally we make it into May. Joel got to spend the first two weeks of May with both of his parents! His Dad changed jobs and had 2 weeks off between jobs - everyone felt lucky and it was great to spend time as a family.

So many colours and shapes!
