20 Months

20 Months - May 2009. I was just looking at pictures from last year and can't believe how much Joshua has changed in the past year. He is getting so big. His hair is finally starting to grow in. It seems like just over night he went from almost no hair to tons of curls. It is almost getting to be time for the first haircut. We are trying to hold out as long as possible.

Joshua is doing really well now with walking. He is no longer the wobbling toddler. Gym class has been very good for him. He is climbing on everything. He is starting to run, and it is just a matter of time where he gets to the point that it is going to be really tiring to run after him.

Joshua has really good verbal skills for a 20 month old toddler. Of course, his favorite word is "NO". He probably has over a 100 word vocabulary. He runs around the house labeling everything. It is really cute. What is not so cute are the mini temper tantrums that are starting. They only last about 10 seconds, but he is giving me a taste of the terrible twos. Joshua is really smart. He seems to understand everything. When we tell him something, he knows exactly what we are saying. When we ask him to do something, whether he does it or not, that is a totally different situation.
