Update on Joshua

I thought it was about time the Josh gets some attention on this blog and I let you know a little about what's going on with him.

He is currently 13 1/2 months and getting busier everyday.  More and more we see him with so much energy and so excited to explore.  Ever since getting to Utah, he has shown such a change in his attitude and personality.  He has become such a fun and happy kid who is such a goofball and loves to be center of attention. 

He has a "cheese-ball" smile as we like to call it and that's all he does.  He used to do that every now and then and mix in a normal smile too, but now it's mostly cheesy smiles with looks of approval from his parents every couple seconds. 

He LOVES walking and is very proud of the progress he is making.  Since being in Utah, one of his favorite games is to walk back and forth between us or between one of us and the couch.  He walks to one end, turns around and walks to the other.  So fun to watch and see how excited he is for himself to be walking and exploring even more.

His first words, as taught by his uncle Enoch, are "Uh-Oh".  When he first started saying it, there was no context, but now we've taught him that if he drops something then he says uh-oh.  It is super adorable.  I will pull out the flip camera one of these days to catch it.  It's too cute!  This evening he was in the high chair and let out a big toot and right after said Uh-Oh.  It was hilarious to say the least.

He still continues to have a huge interest in cars/anything with wheels. 

He loves playing Peek-a-boo all day.

Today he kept hitting himself with a plastic bottle and laughing with a huge belly laugh.  He will always continue laughing if we are laughing too. 

He's a good boy, who is a ball of energy and loves his family very much.  He is so fun to be around and is growing up way too fast!  I hope to savor these moments because they only happen once.
