A Toddler?

Ready for church!


 A lot has happened over the last several months. I will try to briefly get my blog back up to speed:
Josiah's birthday was August 20, he is almost 15-months now. He has grown so much, he is not a little baby anymore. He is walking and trying to talk, he just learned how to go down the stairs all by himself. Josiah has had 6 teeth for a long time now, he loves chomping down on cheerios and animal crackers.  He has been sleeping through the night for a good 8 months now we are so thankful. However, he's not very good at taking naps; I'd rather him sleep through the night.

Snow

 Some weeks it feels like he grows more than others, this past week he has just really hit a growth spurt. I just said he sleeps through the night and doesn't take very good naps.  This past week hasn't been that way. He frequently woke up in the middle of the night very upset, and then woke up super early every morning. Then during the day he took extremely long naps. Andy and I were pretty sure that it was all do to teething, especially since he has been biting everything in sight.  Last night we were doing our normal routine of putting on jammies, brushing teeth, and so on.  Since he has been teething we have been putting on teething gel to help the pain. While Andy was doing so he felt 3 little teeth popping through, poor little man.   Like I said we were certain that he was teething but to be getting multiple teeth at one time, no wonder he had such a hard week. With a sleepy, runny nosed, small appetite, not as playful toddler, it is a relief to see things getting back to normal. Last night we all slept soundly through the night and woke up a little before eight. YEAH!

Playing
Josiah loves to jibber jabber, he constantly walks around the house saying who knows what. Here are a few things that he says that we can sort of understand:

"sop" = stop this is what he says when he doesn't get his way, for example when I take something away from him.
"yip hom" = we have a year old yorkie named Chip that we are constantly telling to come so pretty sure he is saying "Chip come."
"baa yip" = bad chip another thing we say constantly to Chip for pooping and peeing in the house, and while saying this he tries to spank Chip. (lol oops) It is so cute, we really have to try not to laugh while we tell Josiah to be gentle with Chip.
"mawmmm" = mom
"hi daddy" = he says that really clear
"bee be" = "bye bye" he does say this while he is waving, however right now he rarely does this one.
