All Things Supercinski

Sorry for the lack of Josiah-related posts for a while (grandparents). The boy is doing well but is much too preoccupied to smile for the camera or let me video his antics. We are enjoying him so much these days as we see more and more of his personality.

Josiah is an extrovert, no question. While he needs his down and alone time, he really loves being around people. He may be whining in the car, but once we are out and around people, he is all smiles. He laughs often–while he is playing, while we are tickling him, while we are driving and he is alone in the backseat, when he is around other people laughing, whatever. For example, last week, Josiah and I met Thomas for lunch at Souper Salad. There was a table of ladies behind Josiah’s high chair, and everytime they got to laughing, Josiah would lean back in his chair and laugh along with them. They didn’t notice, but we cracked up. Last weekend, we got together with many good friends in town, one with a particularly jovial laugh, who Josiah enjoyed laughing along with all night. It’s hilarious. He’s quite the ham at such a young age.

Josiah is doing some of his signs, but has backed off on milk. He does “all done” often and started waving at people at random. The first person he waved to was our checker at Kroger last week. He is still saying “ma ma” and “da da” and we are more confident that he is saying those titles for us, which is music to our ears. He also loves mimicking us. He has started imitating kissy faces and other actions we do, which is really funny, but also humbling.

Josiah got his first tooth this month and the one beside it is coming through now. It hasn’t been as bad as we had thought it would be. The worst of it has been that the only thing he will eat besides milk is yogurt. He downs Yo Baby yogurt with amazing speed. Josiah also has started eating finger foods this month! There are these little cereal puffs that Gerber makes, and Josiah can pick them up and eat them, however, he mostly enjoys watching them fall to the ground.

He wants to be standing all of the time, but can’t quite pull himself up yet, though he tries and tries. Some babies are walking at nine months, but not Josiah, and we are thankful for this. We’ve had to be consistent in setting boundaries for him, and he has begun to respond well. The only time he goes after objects he knows are off-limits is if we aren’t paying attention to him, like if I go into the kitchen to get something out of the oven. So we are seeing progress and are encouraged. As you can see by this picture, Josiah is crawling all over the place and his sense of wonder is sometimes getting him into predictaments.
