Josh's 1st Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!!!
Today Josh turned 1 (can you believe it??). It just doesn't seem possible, but it's true. It's been a wonderful year and he is such a wonderful addition to our family. He has such a sweet and peaceful disposition and is so much fun to watch. He's definitely got an adventurous side and is much less cautious than Drew was or is. He adores his big brother and it is so fun getting to watch them grow together. He is on the verge of walking and can stand by himself for several seconds at a time (when he wants to). He can climb up steps and loves to play outside. (He crawled all over the back yard this past week without a care in the world. No grass phobia here, in fact, he thinks it tastes pretty good!). He is a great eater and will try just about anything we put in front of him. He still wolfs down baby cereal and baby food, but has also tried bananas, pears, peaches, pizza crust, crackers, cheese, and most recently - Chick Fil A nuggets. He says "Mama" and "Dada" and is starting to say "Br-Br", which I think means brother. It seems like he learns something new each day and I am so privileged to be able to stay home and witness each new milestone.
Even though I am feeling a bit under the weather, we still tried to make today special and celebrate as a family. (It was important to Drew that we have balloons and cake for Josh's birthday - not just for his party, but for his actual birthday.)

Happy Birthday!!
