A few new firsts

Today Joel had his first haircut! He did really well and wasn't scared. I was afraid he wouldn't look like my baby anymore, but I really like how his hair looks. We just got a trim so he kept the curls, but they are more tame :)

Here's another funny Joel story:
We were at Carol and Bill's house the other night for pizza and Survivor. Bill had made a milkshake for himself and he gave Joel a couple bites of ice cream while he was putting everything in the blender. Well, later on Bill walks into the living room and Joel says (for the first time), "Grandpa!" Clear as day. It was hilarious. He went right to Bill- like, where's my ice cream?
Needless to say, Carol immediately went and made Joel his own bowl of ice cream and kept saying, "GrandMA will give you ice cream"
We still haven't heard "Grandma", but she's working on it. (Carol) :)
