After Joshua's haircut, he went straight into the tub. He put all three of his "football frogs" in a row on the tub and then laughed at them. My favorite thing that he's doing now is saying "bye-bye" as he waves. Anytime we grab his coat, our keys or go to the leave the room, he says 'bye!' and starts to wave. When he was talking to my mom on the phone the other day, she said "bye!" and he started to wave. I went to the gym the other afternoon and as soon as he saw me coming to the KidZone, he looked at the worker he had been playing with and waved and shouted "BYE!" as he came over to me. Soooo cute! He also says 'no, no, no' altogether in a little scolding voice, and of course "more, more, more!" to food. He's getting more of the 'r' sound on his 'mow' and there's no mistaking what he wants. We walk hand 'n hand now, but he still drops to his knees when we let go. I can just tell it's going to be soon that he takes off. Literally...now he RUNS with his walker toys. Silly Bean!
He's also become a climber in the last few days to week or so. He climbs up, Up, UP everything! Today he figured out how to move our popcorn tin over to the couch to climb onto it to climb onto the couch and started climbing up the back til I grabbed him and tickled him all over, saying he's too smart and too fast for us. He loves climbing up the fireplace, entertainment center and anything else that looks high. He was standing on top of two boxes Daddy had in the office before they toppled. He didn't seem to mind, but it gives me and Daddy a heart attack. He's also getting into everything. He's figured out how to lift the lid of the toilet seat and would love to splash in the water, if we'd let him (which we don't, of course). He can open our new closet doors to pull things out, and he's just about figured out how to turn knobs to open doors. Every once in awhile he's coordinated enough to turn and push at the same time. He loves to turn TV's off and on and look into things...just to explore. Shawn and I are learning how to be consistent ourselves and with each other's standards on what we allow him to explore just to learn and what's off limits no matter what. Parenting is the hardest job in the world, but by far the most rewarding. When I see his little cheesy grin, or he snuggles up for a hug, it's all worth it. There's so much more he's been doing and learning...I really must post things sooner as I think of them or see them. Well, it's time for bed so we can get some much needed rest before church tomorrow morning. Good night!
