Josiah's Turn

Don't want to leave Josiah out, so here's an update on him, too ;-)

Josiah had been growing and changing so much! He'll be three in about a month! He loves playing with his big sister, but is getting better at playing on his own, too. His vocabulary continues to develop. He has well over 100 words that he uses on a regular basis. He is learning to put sentences and phrases together more and more. Grandma Allen said she couldn't believe the changes in him just between the beginning of January and the beginning of March!

He has thinned out somewhat again, but some clothes are actually fitting on his waist now :-) He has gained at least a solid 3 pounds since coming home. His feet have grown like crazy! Mommy and Daddy didn't realize how fast until the other night. We thought he might need new sneakers soon. We didn't realize how cramped his little toes are in those shoes! We're having a hard time convincing him that he needs a different pair of shoes though. I'm really wishing I had stocked up on the car shoes when we bought the first pair!

He is mischievous and a flirt. He does like to push Elizabeth's buttons somewhat, but he is also very sensitive. Anytime someone is crying, especially Sissy (Elizabeth and Josiah use this name, NOT us ;-)), he goes to sooth and make sure everything is okay.

I think he has finally decided to like cake ;-)

A couple of other quick updates:

* We asked about Jose, the little boy we were in the process of adopting from Guatemala. He will also be turning 3 in May. It's been over a year and half since we were told we could not adopt him, but he is still living with his foster mom. We are sending a package down with a family travelling to bring their child home, and hope to establish some contact to get updates on him.

*Tomorrow, we are having our first sonogram to date the pregnancy! Elizabeth keeps hoping there are two babies; we'll find out tomorrow!
