This cracks me up. I have this little "chair" as a decoration in the kitchen. Well, Joshua loves to take it down and push it around. This is the first time he actually tried to sit on it. It's way too small for him and is meant for decoration only. Of course, he doesn't care!! :)

Joshua has been spending a lot more time with some of his animal friends lately. He'll carry them around and he usually picks a few out to take to bed with him. These are some of his favorites during the past couple of weeks.

Watermelon

He absolutely LOVES watermelon!!
What else is there to say? He'll shove his mouth full of it as the juice is dripping down everywhere. He's almost giddy when eating it!! :)

Pictures

Joshua loves looking at pictures. In this photo, he's looking at a scrapbook about our pets. He gets so excited when he looks at pictures of the people and pets he knows. It's really cute! (But I am biased!!)

Cartoons and milk

These are two things Joshua loves. Here he is bright and early one morning drinking some milk and enjoying his cartoons. He is so funny. I love how he'll just kick back on his little couch and hang out for a few minutes. Of course, it doesn't last long before he's up and running around again. He has so much energy!!

Adonica and Doug

Adonica and Doug have been here for the past few days visiting on their way back home. It's been almost a year since we've seen them and the visit was great! Joshua warmed up pretty quickly and was soon begging Adonica to hold him often. Sometimes it was just a means to get up onto something and other times he just wanted to visit.

Since they have been here, he has learned how to climb up onto chairs and does it every chance he gets. He looks like a little boy sitting at the table in the chair instead of like my baby. :(

Ribs

We had ribs at Eric and Michelle's house and Joshua couldn't get enough of this rib bone. He really couldn't eat much meat since he still doesn't have many teeth, but he sure enjoyed chewing on the meaty bone.

We went to a friend's house to play last week. They had a swing set, but Joshua was mostly interested in running around picking up rocks. Go figure.

Aunt Jo and Cousin Tom

My Aunt Joanne and cousin Tom visited this weekend. They hadn't seen Joshua since last July so he had changed quite a bit. We had a lot of fun just watching him and his reactions to everything. He does the cutest things. (But I suppose I am a little biased!) My parents bought this cute little picnic table for Joshua. He loves it! I think I need to get him a mini table for our house, too.

Reading

Joshua loves to "read" books. His books are stored inside a red wagon. He loves to push it around to find a good spot to read. He often picks out a book, brings it to me then plops down on my lap. Sometimes, he'll even crawl right in and read in the wagon. It doesn't matter whether there are any books in there or not. He'll move them or sit on them. Jeremy took this picture of Joshua in his wagon with his camera phone.
