Life As I know It...: Joel Nathan Thomas

Joel Nathan Thomas was born on August 6, 2009. This so happens to be my parents and my sister Colleen's wedding anniversary. I was convinced he was going to be early....when in fact he was a week and a half late and no where near making his grand entrance into this world.

Proud daddy :)

I was induced for 2 days and on the end of the second day ended up having a csection....totally unexpected. He was a very healthy boy. Weighing in at 8.8 lbs and 21 inches long.

Joel was a very happy and laid back baby. He is still is a very well tempered child. Joyful and peaceful. He is very sensative to others and has a very gentle and loving nature. He loves being around other people and LOVES his play kitchen! He gets super excited around people who are excited to see him. It's safe to say that his favorite person is my dad....Grandpa Hawkins. He can't get enough of him :) He's a talker and once he starts speaking in full sentences, he probablly won't stop talking. He is very busy and always on the move. He loves his little sister and doesn't seem too phased by her at all.
