23 Months Old!

Joshua turned 23 months old this past weekend. Aside from a couple colds, he has had a good month. It amazes me how someone so cute and little can also be so infuriating and patience-trying at times. He loves to play with his toys and with his little friends. He is talking even more. His new favorite word is "mine!" He is also experimenting with his voice inflections with the word "no."

me: It's time for night-night.
Josh: No-oo-oo (with the inflection going up in the middle)

He is also really good at saying "cars." He also says "I got it!" which is the first time I've heard him string together more than one word at a time. He is starting to get into Blues Clues and brings us the remote saying "ba-baow" and doing his best imitation of Steve's jazz hands. It's kind of funny, actually. He also like to "talk" on his play phones. He'll hold the phone up to his ear and babble in hushed tones, then turn and talk to us in his regular voice, then turn back to his phone and babble on in hushed tones again, like he's telling secrets or something. He also loves doing somersaults. He will bend over and put his head and hands on the floor and try to raise one leg while waiting for Adam or I to pick up his legs and roll him over. He can do it over and over and over again.

We didn't take many pictures this month, but I did take this one. I went to get him up one morning and found him like this:


I have no idea how it happened, but he was pretty stuck. Otherwise, he is a normal almost-two-year-old, complete with tantrums, big hugs and everything in between. The adventure continues!
