Shiloah said it the best tonight: He is a little TORNADO!!!

Joshua is a few days shy of 8 months old. He is still so sweet and happy, but he's speedy and not staying a baby for long. So far he can:

Crawl, fast!

Open cupboards and get into all the treasures behind the doors

Crawl up onto steps.

Will make a break for outside if the door is open.

Has two very white, and very sharp, teeth on the bottom.

Stopped taking naps because with all this new found mobility he can now play with the older kids and that is so much more interesting to do than take a lousy nap!

Waves bye and hi

Says mama, dada, kitty, baby, and nana (for hungry)

Explores the bathroom, pulls himself up to standing position beside the tub.

Pats my back when I pick him up and gives me kisses..big, sloppy, wet ones!

And, everyone's favorite: scrounges off the floor. So far he has taste tested lincoln logs, old cherrios, crayons, pennies, pencils, and scraps of paper.

I'm just not ready for him to be doing all these things right now! Isn't he supposed to stay little for a LOT longer than this? My word, at this rate, he'll be walking before a year!!!
