comment by Grandpa Baskett on 07/30/2009 i'm waiting for bridge at 7. i have a lot to say. i realized that i don't remember all the developmental milestones of my three children well enough. so, among other things, i'm sugguesting that you hit the journal more regularly. as for me: there was holding baby Josh, in a position close to what i imagined a nursing mother would use. then we waited for eye contact and face recognition. burping was always pretty easy. then waiting for turning over from tummy to backside. then sitting up and sitting up alone. first words. crawling. standing alone. walking. talking. and then after walking the frantic race to stay ahead of Joshie's attempts to escape, explore anything and everything in his universe. we didn't always succeed. once i took my eye off him for a second and he was out the door, off the deck, and running alongside MY car, headed to heaven know where. the language development was precocious. he learned to count to 20 in english and to ten in spanish. he repeated after mommy the s-word and the f-word. he started using "I"--i'll get it. he said "we will...we will rock you" and other utterances that made dr. watsons of all of us. finally on july 24, when mom, brad, and i went to ES to fetch mommy claire, Josh the linguist kept a steady vocalization, songs, sentences, josh-invented language, going non-stop for the three house to and back. now i'm waiting for him to jump and to overcome even more obstacles--such as breaking through or over the child-proof gate to his room
