21 months old!

Joshua turned 21 months old this week. I can't put my finger on any one particular thing, but he just seems to be older in the past few weeks. He is learning more words and is getting better at copying what we say. It is very cute to hear his little voice. He also still loves to tickle and loves to show his belly for us to tickle.



He will stand there holding the bottom of his shirt and look at us with a gleam in his eye. Then, all of a sudden...



BAM! He yanks up his shirt and shows his belly and waits for us to tickle him while he laughs hysterically.



Some other cute pics:





He got this little folding table and chairs for Christmas from my parents, and he much prefers eating at his table than in his booster chair now.

I can definitely tell we are getting closer to the terrible twos, though. He is really starting to exert his will in the things he wants to do (or NOT do). And so, soon starts the challenge of trying to teach your offspring how to deal with their emotions and frustrations in a healthy manner. Yay!

He is so adorable!! Isn't it amazing how our little babies change so quickly??

And, I wanted to say Adam- congrats on your performance review. It is such a scary time, that any good news is really fantastic news! They told Ben's division last week that they are funded at least through July, and then they will see if they are funded further. I guess that is good news, kind-of. But, we went from being 100% sure about his job to about 80% sure about his job. Scary!!!

He is super cute Lisa. There are many joys and frustrations ahead. Still, they usually make you laugh more than scream. Two's will be ok though, you're a good mom.
