Happy Birthday Josh!

Born on March 8, 2009 at 4:09am

I can't believe 2 years ago you joined our family, it seems like it was just yesterday that we were in the hospital meeting you. You have brought so much happiness and laughter into our home, and we can't imagine life without you! You have had a lot of health problems and struggles but you have never been difficult to deal with through it all. Even when we have to make you sit and have a breathing treatment, you will just sit and be sweet and patient. You have always been a laid-back little guy, but recently you decided that you wouldn't take the backseat to your older sister anymore! You love to tease her and you know just the right buttons to push. I want you to know how perfect you are - thanks for being you and for being my boy!

Here are a few of your favorite things at 2 years old:

Sayings: Uh-oh, NO, tease,(please) fank you, help me, there go, (for "there you go") car, truck, kitty, doggy, gink (drink), mommy, daddy, sissy, ya-ya, (Maya) book, night night, no go night night, ni-ni, (binky), huh?, okay...and some others. You have really started talking over the last few months! It's been exciting.
Toys: CARS! Any type of ball or sport.
Food: Umm, not much lately. Chicken nuggets, fries, you do love steamed broccoli and carrots, blueberry muffins, PB&J.
Drink: Chocolate Soy Milk, apple juice, orange juice.
Other activities: You love to dance, but you get shy when others watch you. You always come into the kitchen when I have the radio on and dance away! Riding bikes, family Rock Band, wrestling with dad, watching shows. You are not into painting or coloring yet, but you like playdough. You also love to read books with mom or dad.

Love you buddy! Happy Birthday!
