Play-Dough, Horsie Rides and Swinging

Joshua did not enjoy touching the sticky Play-Dough. In fact, he doesn't like anything sticky like tape or frosting. I guess he is a typical 1st born!

Joshua laughed and laughed when he got a horsie ride from Grandpa Statema last weekend! He loved it and always asked for more! (Actually, he signed "Please" which meant that he wanted to do it again.)

Swinging in his favorite blankie. "Look at all the static in my hair!"

This is Joshua's swing. He used to take lots of naps in it. I can't believe how big he looks in it now!

New Favorite Picture

Hahaha, sorry this is a picture that has been posted a few places but this is my new favorite picture right now of Joshua.  He looks like such a little man. :)

Biking

We made a quick trip down to Grandpa and Grandma Top's house a week ago and the weather warmed up enough for Grandma Top to grab the tricycle she had ready for just such a warm up for Joshua to try out.

This was just before Joshua leapt onto the dog to begin a giggle filled wrestling match.

Splish, Splash, Josh was taken a bath...

Tonight we were able to get some video of Josh splashing in the tub without him getting distracted by the video camera. I think we had more water on the floor than in the tub by the end of the bath.

Jabbering & Playing

Josh just started jabbering like crazy about 3 days ago, and this is the tail end of one of this jabbering sessions.

Apple Eating

Josh loves munching on quarter pieces of apple right now, so even though this isn't too terrible exciting we thought that the Grandparents would enjoy it.

Fun Times

Momma... Grandma is trying to get my legos. Will you hold them for me?













"GRRRR....I am the Teddy Bear Monster! Give me all your Teddy Bears! GRRR!"











Grandma Top playing the classic game, "Tickle- a-Joshua"










"Daddy, that's MY cracker and I am going eat it before you!"











Joshua has been having fun throwing his food on the floor so Rochelle has been making him clean the floor.
