My little Man is growing up!

 I realized recently that I hadn't taken any pictures of Joshie lately where he was actually in clean clothes and his hair was done! So. . . I snapped some this morning!
This is the best I could get since he sat still for like 5 seconds!

At 19 months Joshua is an absolute Joy to our family.

He keeps us smiling, laughing, begging for more.

Here's what he is up to:

• He wants to be just like his brother and sisters! He thinks he should be able to ride a bike, sit at the big table, use a real cup, etc.
• Loves Barney and Backyardigans (quite helpful when I have to get something done)
• loves to play with balls! He kicks soccer balls and loves to make baskets on his little hoop!
• Just made it through a whole prayer with his arms folded. He even closed his eyes. . .for a second!
• Climbs on Everything!!!! But still doesn't climb out of his crib. :)
• Loves to take Baths!
• TIger is his best friend and he spends a lot of time playing fetch with him!
• Loves for Mom to sing silly songs with him (favorites: the cowboy song, wheels on the bus, insy weensy spider, 3 little monkeys, and a little teapot) He does the actions with me!
• Loves routines, (doing laundry, turning off the lights, helping with the dishes, etc.)
• Loves to play outside (especially when Dad pushes him on the swing)
• very stubborn (falls asleep standing up regularly because he doesn't want to give up)
• throws fits (but not as bad as Makayla :))
• says lots of words that only him or Mom can understand.
• Still growls and has this really funny fake laugh! (WE love it!)
• Has started running everywhere!
• Can open the doors and thinks he is so cool when he does.
• Does not like nursery or sitting still through out church
• Very Curious and loves to explore!
• gives great hugs and kisses to his Mommy!
• And absolutely adores his DAD!
