Almost a Year (Meet the Uppers)




Joseph just turned 11 months on the 21st! So much has changed...

  • The upper front two teeth came in about three weeks ago. They are prominent enough now to be photographed.
  • No walking unassisted yet. Joseph enjoys "cruising" but not for long as he can gets where he needs to go much faster by speed-crawling.
  • This week a new phenomenon: Gibberish sentences with inflection and everything. (glingawa-ah-lanuh-glub-lidda) Hilarious!
  • Joseph understands: "No", "Come here", "Open", "Mommy", "Daddy", "Shimmy", "Diaper", and more. Though for the most part we understand each other even without words.
  • Joseph loves being tickled, being chased (and chasing), mommy woofing like a dog, and he brings out daddy's goofy side.
  • Joseph can feed himself a pretzel or cookie just fine, but when it comes to more squashy foods (ie. bananas and pasta) he gags?!
  • Still nursing, but he also bites...
  • He is amazing, goofy, lovable, and unique.
