Josiah said “happy” today! It was very cute.

Actually, I’ve been meaning to write… In the last few days, Josiah has really started to try and mimic us whenever he can. It has been a lot of fun, because we are starting to be able to communicate with him a lot more.

In two days, Josiah will be 18-months old! So, at a year-and-a-half, he is happy and learning to talk…

Last night, we finally got him to say “please” after saying “more” (like, when he wants something). It sounds more like “mow-ease,” but we’ll take it. We got him to say it by offering something he really likes: small ice chips! It’s very funny to watch him crunch on the ice with such joy.

I’m going to miss Josiah and his mother tonight as I’ll be going out of town for one night. I’m sure he will have learned all sort of new things by the time I get back.
