Over the weekend

This weekend Joshua and I went to North Dakota to visit grandma & grandpa and so I could do a couple Norwex demonstrations. Thank you to my mom and sister, Tessa, I have a little more experience now! Grandma tried her best to teach Joshua words some of them were: please, thank you, mooo (what a cow says), kitty, up (for some reason he's been wanting to be held a lot lately), bye bye, and we tried hard to get him to say Mallory's Uh oh Spaghetti O's - we think he's trying to do it too!

Grandma's cupboards don't have latches!

Everyone tried the Norwex foam soap and bath towel including Joshua.

Tessa's nice big couch... and I want it!

Playing ball with grandpa.

Vacuum is okay.

Mmm mini powdered donuts.

This week

Nope, he didn't fall asleep, he's just laying around playing in the tub of toys.

Oh, hi mommy!

Tessa came to play on tuesday. Here Joshua is throwing the beach ball to her, but it went backwards. Ooops.

He loves to play ball!

It's kind of hard to see, but when he woke up from his nap on tuesday his hair was sticking up all in back... we tried to get a picture of it. It was really funny.

It was so much fun watching Joshua last night, he would lay on the pillow, but he didn't want the blanket at all. Then when there was some commercial on tv with good music he'd get up and do some dancing. It was a good time. These pajamas, by the way, are size 24 mo. in Gerber brand they fit great, just a tad big in the feet though. They fit much better than the what he had been wearing in this same style.... Christmas idea - he could use more pajamas this style (one piece with footies), long sleeved shirts (no onesies), socks (to be picky, we kinda of like Old Navy's socks - he'd need 12-24 mo. or 18-24 mo. whatever the sizing is) and size 5 shoes (he only really has one pair of tennis shoes that fit right now) are all other good ideas.

Ducky getting his yellow hair thinned (he pulls it out).

Drinking like a big boy!

Look! I can drink from my cup without the cover on!

Yep, we've started practicing to drink without covers or even from a cup/glass that doesn't even have a cover to go with it. The majority of this has been when there's milk still left in the sippy cup but with the cover on it's hard to get the last of it out.

"Buh bye"

On Oct. 16th Joshua said "Buh bye" nice and clear and was waving goodbye pretty much on command or even on his own when he realized either us or someone else was leaving. Well, after that he kinda just clammed up and hasn't really said it much at all; even the waving dwindled. Halloween must have gotten him back in the swing of it though, he was saying it last night and even today he was saying it real well and the waving is coming back too! I'll admit though Mallory is probably further along with her vocabulary than he. If anyone can understand and translate Joshua talk I think he has some important stuff to say sometimes.
