Mini Updates

Okay, I realized that there were about 20 missing words after I posted last time, he woke up the next morning and started with all the ones I forgot. I'll get my notes soon and update the list, he is around the 130 mark now.

He has been a funny busy guy lately so I thought I would jot a few things down so I won't forget them.

We have a ton of yardwork to catch up on so we have been outside quite a bit (except for today, it is mid-90's, way to hot for my fair skinned munchkin). Josh tends to just wander, picking up sticks and such while I do yardwork. I am sure the neighbors are tired of hearing me say "JOSH, come here so I can see you!" "JOSH, drop that right now!" and the various other "hey, stop that!" things I find myself saying. He loves his sticks, he has discovered the joys of the hose with the sprayer attached, he "helps" me water plants, he loves being right on top of whatever I am doing so I have to scoot him out of the way most of the time. The other day when he was at his wettest and muddiest he decided he needed "hugs" on a frequent basis. Oh what the heck, I was grimey too so we indulged in lots of hugs :)

A couple of days ago, I was trying to liberate my poor raspberry vines, I hear behind me "EYES, EYES, EYES!" I turn around to see Josh with clenched eyes and mud covering his entire face and hands :) I am not sure what he did, if he rubbed his eyes with muddy hands or had a backsplash from the watering, but it was pretty darn funny. I managed to get his face wiped off with my shirt, mostly his eyes, and figured the rest of the mud would fall off as it dries.

He is big into hiding these days, something I don't want to encourage too much because he doesn't respond when I call him, but one of his favorite spots is sitting on the plastic bin in his closet behind the hanging clothes. At least the hanging feet give me a clue as to where he is :)

*sigh* Some days! 3.4.05 

But Mommy, I LOVE strawberries! Don't be mad at me :) 

More new words!

He is over 110 words now! He has entered a new phase where he repeats very familiar words over and over and over, not sure why, especially since they are words he knows well. Oh and he also has moved into the grunting/pointing/whining phase, guess he figured he had skipped that and went right to talking so he decided to go back and torment mommy with it!
