Two and a Half and counting!!!

So, this little stinker is 2 1/2 today! Can't believe he is half way to 3 already - time really does fly! The two's have brought their challenges as well as lots of joys! Since I am pathetic at keeping track of things in a baby book I will just jot things down here so at least they are recorded somewhere!

Here's a little about what Joshua is all about at 2 1/2 . . .

~He loves cars! He can actually identify over ten kinds of cars by name - he spots and names cars while we are driving (even in the dark)!

~He enjoys any kind of construction vehicle.

~He is very ticklish and has become much more cuddly.

~He adores books and loves being read to.

~He is very stubborn, or to put it more nicely he has a strong-willed personality.

~He is a pretty poor eater and holds food in his cheeks (takes after his uncle Dave with the holding food in his cheeks thing).

~His language has improved so much, he has too many words in his vocabulary to count!! He is also saying 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 word phrases consistently! For the most part his words are very clear too.

~He has his share of temper tantrums.

~He has a memory that amazes me daily!

~He still loves his "Bunny-Bear"

~He knows all of his colors.

~He knows most of his shapes.

~He is learning to count.

~He loves to sing, which is hilarious because you can't really understand but a few words here and there when he sings, but man does he have the tune down!

~He is naturally skilled when it comes to sports - he can dribble a soccer ball, throw a Frisbee, throw, kick and catch any kind of ball, and recently we started working on dribbling a basketball.

What a blessing he has been in our lives!!
