Josh loves playing with cars and trucks, he goes Brrrrrrrr when he plays with them too! It blows me away cos we didn't even teach him to do that, he just did it all by himself a few weeks ago. Just must be a boy thing I guess! He is nearly 11 months old now, and just the other day it really hit me that he isn't a baby at all anymore, he's a little boy now. Of course, being the sook that I am, this made me a little sad. But he really is, he crawls all around really fast, and pulls himself up onto everything and anything. He even has started climbing a little bit.In the last week or two he has started every now and then to call me Mummia when he's looking for me or something, and often calls Mike Daddia too, so cute. I call him Bubbia when he does it. He still calls Mika "Ka" and says something that sounds like "Ya Ya" for Taylor, although he hasn't even attempted to say Crystal yet even though he adores her. Often he'll have a go at saying something like Granma if you ask him to and get really close but then won't say it again. He often tries to say Harry "Rarry" which is Granma & Granpa's dog. He says Duck and "kark, kark, kark" for quacking. If he see's a cow he goes "Mmmmmm, Mmmmmm" for mooing. Duck, or Uck for truck. Still Ka, for car as well as Mika. Most often he says "Huh? huh? huh?" when he wants you to do something, look at him or pay attention, or just to join in the conversation. And boy is he a little chatterbox, he just talks away all the time (like his daddy...) in his own little language. Today I was on the computer looking at the screen and he was on my lap and he was talking away and I obviously wasn't paying attention because next thing he's right in front of my face moving his face right up to mine and looking into my eyes trying to get my attention going "Huh? huh? huh?" sooo cute! He understands that Daddy goes off to work in the mornings, and now when Mike comes in before he leaves (usually while Josh is having his morning feed off me) to kiss us goodbye Josh starts to wave because he knows daddy is leaving now. Also he waves when he hears the ute/truck go down the driveway, it's really cute, just lifts his hand and gives a little solemn wave when he hears daddy going. And when daddy gets home, gee, you'd think it was Christmas!
Every day I love our little boy more and more and am so thankful for his precious wee self being in our family.
