Joshua's Cake and First yr Pic!

Enjoying his part of his cake!

Well I'm a little late on this post, but I guess better late then never right? What a blast we had celebrating our son's first birthday. We had our niece, Bella and nephew, DJ here from Louisiana so that made it extra special. When Joshua woke up in the morning he was in such a great mood and just had a smile non-stop on his face. I got Josh a cookie with heavy frosting for him to have in the morning so we put a candle on it and sang Happy Birthday to him. He just loved the attention and clapped for us while we were singing. He was so cute! He liked looking at the candle being lit and wanted to grab it. Time went by so fast on this day after the morning thing was done. I couldn't believe that before i could think straight it was already time to greet people at the door for his party. I invited like 30 people to the party, but was happy that only 15 to 20 people were here because I was going crazy with all the hospitality work, but loved it too! Joshua loved opening up his gifts from everyone. He would clap after every gift that he opened. He really enjoyed the drum instrument that my dad got for him and knew exactly what to do with it when he opened it. Joshua also enjoyed everyone singing to him at the end before having cake and ice cream. He would smile and clap for everyone and again enjoyed seeing the fire on the candle.

Joshua is now 13mo's old now and finally has two teeth at the bottom of his mouth. He is babbling a whole lot of baby talk now. He says a lot of peoples names now and it is so cute! I like to hear him say "Emi and Bella"! Bella is our niece from Louisiana---his cousin! He is trying to walk, but not quite there yet. He takes a couple of steps, but then falls, but he makes a lot of attempts. We know we are in trouble once he starts, but sure would be nice so that we don't have to hold him all the time. He already climbed all the way up our stairs one day when we weren't looking and totally scared me, but he just laughed. He is a big charmer with all my lady friends and such a big flirt too. We look forward to what our little Josh will be like in a few months or even years, but pray it is all in God's will. I hope to get better now with this blog posting, but with so much going on right now with my niece and nephew being here, it can be difficult so bear with me. Love to all and thank for keeping up with our blog.=)
