Well, Josiah has been growing leaps and bounds this week. On Thursday, we were playing on the living room floor. He was standing up across the room from me and decided he was going to walk on his own. He comes walking towards me and stops to get a hug and then continues on his way around the living room. Since then, he has been walking non-stop. I called Chris at work to tell him--it was nice to not have to wait until he was doing teaching class! I told Chris that I was so proud of our little boy for walking on his own. Chris' response was he would ask me in a month if I still felt the same way!
This week, we also started him on the toddler food, and he has been
doing a great job with it. He isn't spitting out every bite like he did
before. He has also started talking more. Some of his new words are:
"cat", "glasses", "cracker", "bath", "I got it." We are obviously very
proud of him. He can shake his head no when we ask him something and he
doesn't want it. He shakes his head no and has a smile on his face if
he does want it. He has started learning a few animal sounds. Mommy
has gotten creative on a few sounds, but Josiah has picked them up.
Some sounds that he makes are: a giraffe, tiger, zebra and dog. He has
started pointing where his nose, mouth and ears are. Every once and
awhile he will point to his toes. So as you can see, our little boy is
growing up before our eyes!
