18 Months


Deaar Joshua,
Today you are 18 months old. I have not been good at tracking your cute little antics lately, so today I will. You are such a sweet boy who loves to cuddle. You love your Dad, Audrey and your mama, in that order. You don't really like to sleep, and you definitely like to move. You are obsessed with balls. Everywhere we go, you point to things and yell, "ba!ba!ba!". The watermelon and cantaloupe at the grocery store, the big red balls in front of Target, light bulbs, you think everything are balls, and I think it is so cute. You don't really like to talk, you prefer to yell and scream instead. You love to help me clean. If I start singing the clean up song, you immediately start to clean up. You love wearing hats and will keep one on your head. You are my dark eyed, dark hair, dark skin beauty. You have your very own version of "ready, set, go" that goes something like, "haba haba DOE!". I love it. Bugs fascinate you, and I feel sorry for any june bug that gets in your path because you will squish the guts out of them. You love to swim and you unfortunately have no fear of the water. You are such a boy, and I love every squishy, yummy, delicious ounce of you.

Your words:
*Dada (of course, you are obsessed with your Dad)
*Audrey (Aa-da)
*Mama (I'm in third place when it comes to order of favorites, but I wouldn't have it any other way)
*Hat (Haa)
*Hot (hot)
*Ball (baa)
*Night, night (nigh, nigh)
*Up
*Tractor (bah-da) We see lots of them here
*D (GrandD, my mom)

Animal sounds you can make:
*Pig (my personal favorite)
*Horse
*Fish
*Shark (you put your hand on top of your head like a fin and say, da na, da na, da na
*cat
*dog

Happy 18 months little man. Welcome to the wonderful world of nursery. I love you so much.
Love,
~Mama

What a perfect picture Michelle. Is that your new camera?

And what a perfect boy. I can't wait for my boys to play with him. I think they may be able to communicate quite nicely in their yelling, screaming language. Yea for cute, cute boys!

Little Josh is growing up so fast. We called my brother Josh- Joshie Squashie growing up and the name fits yours too. We miss you guys! Sam and Audrey still ask to see you and play with you at the park. I love the updates and your sentimental nature. Hang in there cute girl. So kindergarten is next year for Audrey, I can't believe it...
