18 mos old! Where is the time going??

Hello again...WOW! I can't believe it has been half a year since I updated this blog last.. Soo- much has changed it is quite amazing. Well, Joel is now officially a toddler! He started walking around 14 mos and gets more and more sure on his feet every day... He had a bit of an 'in-toeing' problem, was stumbling a bit, so we took him to a pediatric podiatrist who took an x-ray and said all was OK and that he would outgrow it..and so far so good.. He still takes a tumble here and there, but that's to be expected I guess.. :-/
He is now feeding himself fully and uses a spoon really well. This is a very important milestone because (drum roll please) we are expecting baby #2 in October and I'll need Joel to feed himself so I can begin bottle/nursing duty once again.. As we did with Joel, we are going to hold off until the delivery to learn the sex, but I totally feel like it's another boy...we shall see! I've tried telling Joel about the baby growing in mommy's tummy, but he's not getting it..lol.
What else? Hmmm...Joel really isn't saying too many new words, but he sure does understand a lot of them and will even bring me specific things when I ask for them...of course he still talks a lot in 'Joel language' hehe..
We recently moved back into the smaller rental house and are now leasing out the larger one. The move was a nightmare..especially being pregnant and having to care for a one year old...NOT easy..thank goodness Troy's folks helped watch him a few days while we got settled in.. There is still a lot to do, but it definitely feels like a home now...finally our very own home with no roomates! Amen!!!
Well the TX summer heat is definitely on...(hottest in recorded history)..uggg..we feel pretty much trapped inside the house most of the time due to the heat, but do make it outside to hit the splash park, pool, beach and lakes as often as we can..Joel loves the water and I'm looking to enroll him in swim lessons soon..
Joel's 18 mo. Dr. visit was yesterday...this was the first time he didn't cry at all when he got his shots...such a big boy! He now weighs 25 lbs and is 33 in. long...long and lean like his mommy (used 2 be lol) and late Pee Paw Pirtle.
Here are some recent pics:
