Oh Joshua

This little boy is going through quite a stage now. Not only is his beautiful blonde hair different from all of the rest, so are his cuddles, his anxious-for-friendsness, and his screams.

Little brother LOVES to scream. He screams when he is hungry. He screams when someone leaves the house and he can't go. He screams when he is tired. He screams when he is happily playing. Curiously, he doesn't scream all that much when he fall down. Falling down-- that seems to be an additional stage along with the screaming stage.

Little Brother falls down A LOT! He falls when he climbs up. He falls when he climbs down. He falls from his high chair. He even pushed his chair back until it fell over backwards. He falls on his forehead, and he falls on the back of his head. I wish he'd QUIT FALLING!

Josh seems to want to be a big kid. He always wants to come along to all of the big kid things. (Too bad, he also likes to scream in public.) Josh wants to have friends to over to play, just like the big kids.  His cousin, Grahm came to play. Josh got out his toys and presented them to Grahm. He seemed much more excited than all my other 21 month old babies to have a friend come and play. In a way he mimicked what the older kids do, when their friends come to play.

Josh LOVES Gramma!!! He cries when we leave Gramma or Gramma leaves us. He hugs her a lot. He gets jealous when Gramma hugs her other grandchildren. Josh just loves, loves, loves Gramma.

I love, love, love Josh. He is an adorable baby. But I do not love, love, love his screams!!! I look forward to having a calmer Little Brother. But for now, I am trying to enjoy the cuteness while timing him out for the screams.
