Dedication
Joshua was dedicated at this morning's church service. Annette, Josh, and I all wore matching outfits for the occassion. I don't think Annette and I have both worn white shirts since our engagment photos.
Everything is no longer "blue." Our friend Eric taught him the color "white" today! Joshua seems to be learning at a phenomenal pace. Today, he picked up the words: "pump", "spoon", and "pit" as well.
Joshua had another meltdown today when he saw me picking up our friend's son Jackson. Full out crying to the point vomitting--it took me a good while to calm him down again. Annette tells everybody that I love it--that Joshua is such daddy's boy--it's true. I cherish these days, because I sense they won't last.
I was telling Annette yesterday how amazing it is that Joshua just gets more delightful as he ages. I guess there will come a point when that stops happening--? adolescence? Uhh--I don't look forward to that teen rebellion stage.

Run!
Joshua's newest word is "Run!" He loves to hold our hands, one of us on each side of him, and then run down the hallway together. He's a fast runner! I am very impressed by his speed.
I bought him a plastic tractor from Shaw's the other day for $3, which he loves. He makes a "do-do-do" sound when he moves the shovel part up and down, just like the way I showed him. I like it when he runs over to me and wants to play together with the tractor.
We also play the "scare" game. He pretends something is scary, and he starts to pant and runs over to hug us. He also pretends to be scared of strangers sometimes, but usually he likes to wave hi and bye to people, hand them his sippee cup, and shake their hands.

"Bye-bye Da-da"
was Joshua's first 2 word phrase. Whenever we ask him what color something is--he always says "Blue!" And when we ask him how many of something, his response is always, "Two!"
We were delighted to see Joshua playing with some older kids for the first time today. He loved especially imitating the older boy, lying down next to him on the ground, dog piling on him, and running after him.
