HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!
It was a fun day. Pretty much the typical 1 year old birthday. He has no idea why the people are smiling, staring and singing horridly off tune but he gets this yummy pile of stuff the big weird people keep calling "cake"... And he likes cake.
I don't know if he just couldn't pick it up or what but he just held it down there...apparently he doesn't go for that whole bring the mountain to Muhammad thing.
and then daddy gave him a 'tap shower'. Still smiling.
So Josh's favorite things of late are:
balls -- And by balls I mean really anything that can be thrown, rolled or caught which is really everything. I admit I've played catch with a water filled daiper (I thought it was better than a used one). Te was at a soccer practice today and was attempting to horde 3 balls at once. As they are all bigger than he is, this did not go well. (on a side note jane took a ball over to the goal, kicked it in and started jumping up and down cheering.)
banging on the keyboard and dancing (he bounces whenever we sing)
grabbing people's noses (waiting for the 'honk')
being tickled (which pleases me of course)
peekaboo the cell phone (how many phones before mom learns her lesson?)
He took his first official step the other day. He's nowhere near steady but he's on his way. Jane and josh play together a lot. It's the best when I'm putting jane to bed and josh crawls in, on top of her and starts giggling and then she starts as well. It's not a very effective nap-time technique but she's not really napping anymore anyway (alas).
Jane is liking preschool. She sings the songs all day long and makes up some of her own. Usually they are a narrative of what's going on "I'm getting my book because i want to read and it's a bo-o-o-o-k and it's really good..." you get the idea.

Wow. Josh is one already. I've never even met him. So sad for me. I love the cake! You're so domestic! :)
