I put Joshua's 10 month pictures on here then never finished the post. Time has passed and he's 11 months old, almost 1 year old! As the picture below shows, he loves hanging upside down and being tickled. As long as Joshua is fed and not tired, he is a happy little boy.
The day after his 9 month doctor's appointment, he crawled. The day he turned 11 months, he started walking. He can still only take a few steps on his own, but loves holding your fingers and taking laps around the house.
Joshua is learning that he can pick things up and put them in baskets, cups, and bowls. As quickly as he learned to put them in, he learned to take them out. This is a video of him "helping" with laundry.
Joshua's latest idea of fun is pointing to things. At mealtimes, he will point to his milk or the container of Cheerios. When we're together with family, he points to someone until you hand him off, then points to someone else. I think he gets a kick out of the fact that we pass him wherever he wants to go. Although he loves to jabber, Joshua only has 2 distinct words in his vocabulary: "dada" and "Aga" (Agger). I'm a little bitter that "mama" hasn't entered his vocabulary yet. Joshua's favorite toy is his stacking cups. He also enjoys anything that you can bang together to make a noise. He's also been known to crawl around while holding a toy. He takes it over to the tile so that he can bang it on the floor. Since he's now on the move, we have to be sure to keep all doors closed on the first floor. If we don't, he will head to the bathroom and play with the drawers and the door. Bath-time is another favorite activity of Joshua's. As soon as he hears the water running, he makes a beeline for the bathroom. He loves to splash, play with his toys and the drain.
I'm very late in posting his 9 month pictures taken by our friend, William. These are a few of my favorites.
