Twenty Months Update
Sticking cereal to his nose
Josiah has been so much fun this month. I’m not sure if the tantrums are lessening, or if I am just getting used to them, but life seems to be a little easier these days, and I am thankful. He is constantly jibber-jabbering and tells me all about things after we see them. In preparing this month’s video, it was amazing to see how much clearer he is speaking in just the past month. He is consistently putting together three word “sentences” such as “Momma read it,” “Ya-Ya take it,” “Momma get it” and so on.
Some of Josiah’s favorite things this month were construction equipment, books, trains, being “fast”, and going around in circles and making himself dizzy. He is starting to “read” some of his books along with me. He does the best with “Moo, Baa, La, La, La” by Sandra Boynton, we even recited it in the car today. It amazes me how much he remembers and holds in his little brain. He knows what two means and accurately tells you when he sees two of something. He also started “singing” his ABCs, or, as he says it, “A, B, C!”
(That picture shows Josiah’s mischievous face, as he knows he isn’t supposed to stand in his dump truck–it dumps)
We spend many mornings playing at parks after we walk. Josiah can go down the slides by himself now, even the big, fast, scary one that I think is big and fast. He enjoys digging in rocks and sand and scooping it up with his “tools” into buckets. He will also spend lots of park time throwing a ball, chasing it, and kicking it around. It makes for a red-faced, sweaty boy, but what fun!
That’s about all I can think of to share. I hope you enjoy the video, he was being very funny this month! Note that with Josiah these days, his no is no and his yes is also no. Just watch. You’ll see him giving “fast hugs”, chattering, and goofing around. Enjoy!
he is so cute and getting so big, I can’t believe he will be 2 soon!
What a little cutie!!! Such joys!

I love the quiet little “no” that you hear when you ask if he’s under the puppy dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This might be the cutest video so far (they just keep getting cuter and cuter!)
josiah is just so cute! he is really starting to look like a little boy not a baby any more!! i can’t get over the fact you are mom. i love it!! you seem like you are such a great mommy!!!
I adore your updates! Nice work, Rachel! Moo Baa La La La is a favorite of mine, and it is responsible for my niece Evelyn’s funny understanding of animal sounds. When you ask her what a sheep says, she replies, “Baa aa aa!” A cat also sounds like a derranged cow: moo-ee-ow, but I like it!
Oh my friend Josiah… what a baller.
Hey Supers, you guys need to take the sustainability test I posted on my blog (it’s the most recent entry at present). Blow us out of the water with your low score! Please. If you want.
He’s so huge! He’s practically a young man.
Hey little dude! I can’t wait to see you again! You have to convince mommy & daddy to bring you out to huntsville in 08 so you can come play in the lake!
