Josh the "Parrot"

It has been a very crazy few weeks around here between going to Holiday World, starting my new job, our party with all the guys and gal from the fire house, and preparing for a garage sale. Josh has been doing great with Marge and they are finally forming a routine. We are so thankful to have Marge watch Josh while I am at work.

Josh is continuing to learn many new words. Most days he just "parrots" what we say. He repeats everything we say just like a parrot. The more he talks the better he is able to say the words. We have to be really careful with what we say because the next thing you know Josh is going to be saying a wordie durd. He already says "turd" for turtle.

On June 21st Lisa, Marianna, and Alex came over to play on the new swing set. The kids had a great time and Josh was totally beat after romping all day.

All the kids swinging together!

Here all the kids are playing with the train table.

The King of the Cart!

We have been meaning to take this picture for some time, but keep forgetting the camera. Anyway, where ever we go and there are shopping cart Josh has to stand up in the basket like he is King of the Cart. Of course, he is also the center of attention that way. He waves to everyone and they stops to wave at him.

Here Josh is waving to someone we are passing.

Josh loved the sprinkler. Matt got the sprinkler out to water the garden and it wasn't on for more than 30 seconds before he was running through it. We'll be doing this a lot this summer.

Grandma may have started something. Josh now likes to ride on the two-wheeler.

Have you met Ed Grimly?

Bye for now,
Matt, Jenny, and Josh
