One Year Update
Josiah celebrated his first birthday almost a month ago. He had a fabulous party on Sept. 15 with his extended family and enjoyed snatching cake from his cousin, Josh. He was a little overwhelmed by all the people and presents, but had a great time anyway, especially playing outside with the all the kids. Josiah's actual birthday was spent enjoying beautiful Colorado and playing at a Children's Museum in Breckenridge.
He weighs in at 18 pounds 5 oz. and 29.25 inches long, which is average height, but very light. Josiah feeds himself very well with a spoon or fork and seems to be right-handed. There are only a few foods the Josiah likes and will eat: spaghetti, crackers, cottage cheese, plums and apples (must be whole), black beans, rice and chex cereal.
Josiah adores playing in the water and runs to the bathroom anytime the shower turns on. He loves coloring, like his big sister, and of course, climbing. He really likes all the new toys he has, but his favorite is probably the PDA that we pulled out of our stash in the basement (Eila's from her first Christmas) - go figure!
He waves and blows kisses to everyone. Josiah says two words consistently "Eila" and "teter" which for him means "I want." Josiah seems to talk a lot, with great intonation and all kinds of sounds, but I can't understand a lick of it! He has a great sense of humor and cracks up all the time. He loves to make others laugh, too. By far though, he loves Eila and everything that she does!
