1-16-09, 18 mos.   Today, we saw a yellow school bus and Joshie says "Bus!"  Then he said, "Brad?"  He seems to know that Bradley gets off the bus, but thinks that all school buses contain Bradley!  Heehee.

1-28-09 18 mos. 3 weeks:  Joshie had to get blood drawn today.  The lab tech drew 3 tubes of blood from his arm and he didn't fuss or shed a single tear!

2-1-09 18 mos. 4 weeks:  I had a drink from KFC and  the cup had a picture of Col. Sanders on it and Joshie pointed to him and said "Daddy?"  How many think Dale resembles old Col. Sanders????

2-1-09:  Last week, Joshie said his first noun/verb sentence:  "Daddy go bye-bye?" And when he jumped off the coffee table (nearly giving me a heart attack), he got up and said, "I fall".

2-4-09:  Joshie pointed to a picture of Wynona Judd and said "Namaw", then "Go bye bye, see Namaw?"

2-17-09 Happy BDAY BRAD!  The big 12!

2-18-09:  We were sitting in the car and I just happened to say "Michael Joshie Dale" to which Joshie said "Kirkland?"  Just as plain as day!

2-23-09:  Joshie is now saying "What's that?"  His Auntie Dana started it (just got the whole story tonight).  Joshie and Aunt Dana were sitting alone in the Jeep and the Jeep makes some funny sounds after the key is off and Aunt Dana says to Joshie "What's that, Joshie?"  So she started that!

2-24-09:  We've been going to the YMCA twice a week for Mommy's swim/water aerobics class and Joshie always goes to the Y's sitter.  He no longer cries for the sitter now, just goes right in like he owns the place and gets toys out to play with.  He is my good little man!
