At 19 months, Joshua has been saying so many cute things lately! I know I'll forget them if I don't write them down, so I thought I'd share them with you.
1. We have been working on manners and have taught him to say, "Bless you," when someone sneezes or coughs. Not only does he "bless" others, but whenever he sneezes or coughs, he tells himself, "Besshoo!" Makes me laugh every time!
2. "Cool, dude!" Whenever he sees something he thinks is neat, he says, "Coo doo!" I have NO idea where he picked this up!
3. Counting. He counts, "One, two, three, four, five, eight, ten." We are still working on this!
4. ABC's. He can name a word that goes with each corresponding letter. He thinks this is a great game and loves to go through the whole alphabet. Some of my favorites are, "pus", which is his word for "octopus," and "brewwa," short for "umbrella."
5. After a week spent in MI and lots of time on the road, Daddy and I are a little weary of the word, "car." The kid LOVES cars. He points to and says, "car," every time he sees a car. That adds up to...a couple thousand by the end of a 5.5 hour trip? Haha.
6. Colors. He knows the color words, but can't associate them yet with the correct colors. So, when we ask him, "What color is that?" He will guess, "red, purple, blue, yellow, green, white..." until he gets it right. LOL.
7. He calls his boy parts his "beep beep." Hehe. :-)
8. Joshua does not like giving hugs or kisses, but for some reason, he loves to give "squeezes." So, when I ask, "Can I have a squeeze?" he will run up to me, wrap his arms around me and squeeze as tightly as he can while saying, "GEEZ!"
9. Lately when he sees something new and exciting he says, "Oooooooooooooooooooh!" with those wide, doe eyes.
10. He has always been such a happy boy, and recently he's been running around the house saying, "Happeeee, happeeee!" Too cute!
11. This kid is a total MOOCH. He thinks anyone else's food is meant for him. If one of us has a snack, he will run up to us and say, "Mmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmm...." until we share. And, sometimes, he just snatches it away! Little turd!
12. We have been teaching him the names of his aunts and uncles, and he can say, "Keisha, Richard, Adam & Sara" very well, but poor Uncle Corey also gets called, "Keisha." Silly boy.
13. Every time the phone rings, he says, "Papa? Papa?" because he thinks it's Grandpa calling.
14. Yesterday we went out for dinner with Mike's parents and while we were placing our orders, JJ turned to the waiter and said, "Fries!" Haha. Funny how he knew that's what we usually order for him at restaurants!
15. When he eats something he really likes, he'll say, "mmmmm, tasty!" or "mmmmm, 'licious! (Delicious!)" He gets very excited about his food!
I know there are so many more, but that's all I can think of for now...I have lots of great photos to post from our week in Michigan, but I am too sleepy tonight, so it will have to wait for another day!
Enjoy your evening!
