things i don't want to forget:

i don't want to forget joshua at this age.
i don't want to forget this crazy dancing, talking, running, playing, eating, laughing, grunting 1 year old.

i don't want to forget his kisses.
i don't want to forget how he says "baby" or how when i asked him what his brother's name was he came running to my belly pointing and saying "baby."

i don't want to forget how he smiles at me every time i go pick him up from a nap.

i don't want to forget how he shows off and already knows how to make people laugh.

i don't want to forget how when i left to go to the bathroom, he opened the box of teddy grahams {left by the sofa, from my snack}, put a large handful in his bowl, and returned to find him sitting next to his bowl enjoying his own snack.

i don't want to forget how he says "BUY" like an old man from the south.
i don't want to forget how he throws his head back to enjoy a bite of something really good. 

 i don't want to forget his crazy, crazy hair.

i don't want to forget how he loves tools & makes power tool noises all the time.
i don't want to forget how much he loves his blankies.... and how much i don't understand how he all of the sudden loves them so much.
i don't want to forget how smart he is: every time i say "nakey boy" he knows it's bath time, every time i say "let's go change your diaper" he runs to his room & changing table, every time i say "it's lunchtime" he runs to his highchair, or when he wants more milk he tries to open the refrigerator.

this boy... he really makes me laugh everyday. he also frustrates me & makes me feel like i have no idea what i'm doing. but most of the time i'm laughing!

i love this boy!
