Josh!

I thought I would post some pictures of Josh since I just got his 2-year-old pictures done.



Josh has been doing well with the move to Texas. Before we left, Adam found a toddler bed on craigslist for a good deal and when we moved in to our new house, we set up the toddler bed in Josh's room. He's been doing pretty well with it. For the first few nights, he would get out of bed and play with the closet doors, the door stop, and anything else he could find in the room. Eventually he would fall asleep. After a couple nights, though, the curiosity wore off and he was able to stay in bed and fall asleep pretty quickly.



Josh has been growing and growing. He loves to run around like a monkey and play with his toys, especially his cars. His speech is improving and he is able to repeat more words lately. His doctors have told us that he will probably need speech therapy to overcome the delay in making certain sounds due to his cleft palate. He is learning his colors and is really good at blue and orange. He can recite his numbers from 1 - 10, but for some reason he always skips 7. He still LOVES Blues Clues ("Bah Poo") and has started shouting out when he sees a clue ("a poo, a poo").



He eats the crusts of his sandwiches first, and sometimes won't eat the rest of the sandwich. He won't eat ice cream. He used to not like cookies, either, but recently he's changed his mind on that. Sometimes I don't know where he came from (who ever heard of not liking ice cream!), but he's a cutie and we love him. I especially love his giggles. It makes up for the frustrating times that come with being the parent of a 2-year-old.
