Latest milestones

At 1 - Joseph is:

Walking - everywhere. He's been tottering around for a few weeks but seems to have really taken off in the last week or so and is going full-steam ahead.

Talking. He jabbers constantly and we've been able to interpret Momma, Daddy and night-night so far.

Signing. I haven't been as consistent with this as I should be. . . but he is able to sign "all done" and "milk."

Singing and dancing. Joseph loves to sing and be sung to. I usually get an applause from him after I sing him a song . . . . and there are times when he will sing with me. Maybe someday he'll be able to actually sing the words and be on tune. He also loves to dance when he hears a fun song.

Eating. Joseph loves, loves, loves food. And will eat pretty much anything. He loves Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets and waffle fries. He loves pizza, chinese food, oatmeal, pasta, fruit . . . well, pretty much anything I put in front of him. He also loves, loves, loves ice cream. And when that last bite is gone, you would think that the world has ended and there will never be ice cream again . . . . huge tears and everything.

Cleaning and trashing. Apparently the coffee table is meant to be completely cleaned off - all the time. This is especially bad if we happen to have a drink or bowl of food on it. Also - baskets are supposed to be empty. As are shelves. In fact, pretty much a day doesn't go by without everything within Joseph's reach being dumped on the floor. He trashes. . . I pick up. It's a fun game.
