Josiah's vocabulary and fun in the fountains!

Josiah's vocabularly is expanding so fast it seems like and we are having so much fun trying to make out the new words he is trying to say and getting him to copy words we say.

Here is the run down of his vocab at 13 months!

So far he says:

Hi

Uh-oh

(he says this anytime he drops something, falls down, etc. The funniest time though was once when he had gotten into the bathroom and was pulling out all the toilet paper...Jay walked in the bathroom to get him and Josiah looked up and saw him he was initially excited to see him but quickly realized he was busted and said "Daddy!...uh-oh"

Hot

(he calls everything hot...hot and cold alike)

Done

(he says this anytime we are doing something he wants to stop...changing diaper, clothes, etc.)

Mama

Dada and Daddy

(mostly daddy)

YaYa

(yayayayaya)

Papa

(only once when I was getting him to repeat it)

Home

(ome sounds more like um, everytime we pull into the driveway)

More

Eei Eei Oh

(ay i ay i ay)

Last week we took full advantage of the beautiful weather and went to the fountains at our town center twice, a park one day, and played out on the deck in the backyard everyday. Here are some pics of the little man loving his playtime in the water.

Halloween and Papa

Here are a few pics from Halloween! Josiah was the cutest lobster I've ever seen! We went to our church and watched a band, Christian Illusionist, and then did Trunk or Treat. Josiah got called Sebastian all night long and people kept asking me why I didn't dress up as Ariel?! He clearly looks like a lobster to me, but I see how people mistook him for a crab.

Jay got to church before we did and had to dress up as a Ninja along with the rest of the youth group...Josiah was pretty unsure about Jay's costume. He was freaked out by him for a while, even when Jay took off his mask!

Little Lobster man on the go!

The cuddliest little sea critter I ever held!

We had a long weekend and by the end of the night Josiah was ready to go! Next year will be so much fun when he can run around with his little pumpkin and trick or treat! We opted out on candy this year.

To those of you who prayed for Jay's Papa, thank you for your prayers, he went home to the Lord last Monday, surrounded by almost all of his family. We will miss him dearly and are so thankful for the legacy of faith and servant heartedness he left.

Here are a few recent pics of Papa with Jay and Josiah.

We love and miss you Papa...for now we say goodnight and we will see you in the morning!
