Mr Muscles

Josiah, Josiah, Josiah...  He is our middle child and we are watching him develop his personality even at his age.  I call him the forgotten child because Micah can clearly iterate his desires to us and Zach just requires a lot of work.  In between, is Josiah.

His second birthday came upon us like a Phoenix  monsoon storm.  You don't believe it will occur until it happens.  We decided to have a family party today to celebrate him.  The family was amazed at how quickly this guy finishes his plate.  He even ate corn on the cob as if this was his only morsel of food in a week.

Here he is playing cars with his Great Uncle Jack!

Josiah just found his cake!

Austin and Stephen compete in front of their girlfriends.  

One of Zachary's favorite Great Aunts!! 

Here is the fam...

Josiah also made the transition from his crib to a twin mattress or 'Big Boy Bed'.  The first night was perfect, no complaints, but the following morning he discovered freedom.  He found the opening at the end of the bed rail and got out of bed and made his way to our bed.  Needless to say, we secured the perimeter to avoid any more breakouts.  He has not escaped, yet.

This is before all of the upgraded perimeter fortifications were in place.  

We really don't try to forget or to ignore you Josiah.  We can't wait until you can speak to us clearly instead of thru your translator older brother.  We love you buddy and can't wait to see what you will do when you are bigger.

This is the pose that he does when you ask to see his muscles.  This particular picture is after eating brownie batter.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE PIC OF HIM FROM THIS LAST YEAR!!!
