You don't raise heroes, you raise sons.
And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes.

Growing Too Fast

In just this past week Joshua has grown in leaps and bounds. He picks up almost every single word that we say. We have now had to make sure we watch any recorded CSI, Criminal Minds, Law & Order shows after he has gone to bed or during his naps. Just last night I was trying to figure out why my DVR wasn't recording my show and so ended up flipping back and forth through the stations. Joshua stopped playing stared at the TV and says "Uh Oh". We decided that even if it is Season Finales and the DVR is acting up we can skip the show and just watch simple things like AFV or Minute to Win it while he is up since he is starting to understand what he is seeing every day.

We can pretty much get him to repeat a new word every day now. Lately it's been, Wait, Down, Book, and just last night he strung two words together...Mama Book...while holding the book I had left on the back of the couch.
He also follows direction really well. We can change his diaper and then tell him to put his diaper in the trash and he will take it to the trash can, lift the lid, and drop the dirty diaper in it. He will pick things up off the floor, show it to us, and then throw it away...which is nice if it is actual trash and not Daddy's socks.
