Joshua, the ham.
Joshua is so funny with his silly faces that he loves to make. He was inspired to make silly faces by his second cousin Sofia and now he cannot get enough. He has always been fond of making silly faces even before he turned one year old. I guess he never really thought he could make silly faces when ever I take pictures of him.
Joshua received his first birthday card in the mail this week. He LOVES cards and loves opening our mail for us. He thought this was a wonderful gift. His Mimi (my Aunt Twila) gave him the card with three one dollar bills inside it. When he saw the bills he got excited and said 'more cards'. He is so cute. This picture is of his first reaction of the card.

Potty Training
Joshua is doing so great potty training. Once yesterday he ran over to the potty chair saying he had to go and he had a BM. Then at least 4 times today he ran over on his own to go potty and one of those time he has a BM. I am so proud of how well he is doing with potty training. I haven't had to ask him if he has to go for the last 3 hours. He will just run over to the chair drop his drawers and go on his own. He is getting stickers every time he goes potty and on the tenth sticker he gets a treasure.
Here is a picture of his treasure chest after he took a few items out of it.
Here is a picture of him playing with his play dough, the play dough was one of his treasures.

I am so proud of Joshua.
Today was the official start of potty training. Other than the diapers in the diaper bag we no longer have any diapers in the house. He is only allowed to wear underwear during the day and pull ups during his naps and night time. Every time he goes potty he gets a sticker and on the 10th sticker he gets a prize from the treasure chest. The treasure chest is just some really cheep toys we bought at the dollar store. He doesn't care about the stickers but it is a good way to keep track of how many times he went on the toilet.
Today we had a few accidents, which is to be expected. For the most part when ever I told him he needed to try to go potty he would. All through out the day I told him if he needs to go potty just take off his underwear and go on his portable potty chair that is down stairs. Of course he never would but I thought I would keep telling him this. Well tonight I was putting somethings up stairs and I heard the toilet lid fly up. I peeked down stairs and there he was sitting on his chair. He stood up and very happily said he went potty. Of course I made a HUGE deal out of this. I was so proud that he went on his own without me asking him if he needed to.
I am looking forward to what tomorrow will bring.

More of Dallas
So this is my third post of the day. If you want to read our trip in order go to the third post and work your way up.
Once in Dallas again I got to spend some good time with a great friend of mine. She just had a baby in December and I wanted to meet her. Joshua had fun playing with her son Kyle. We went to McDonald's so the boys could play and to the park. Joshua still wasn't feeling that great and had a cough the entire time we were with them.
Here are some pictures of our stay there.
Katrina and I.

We went to Grapevine Mills and the boys got to play on some moving toys.

Temple Pictures.
After Dallas we drove to Temple TX to stay at my Aunt and Uncles house. While we were there I saw my Aunt, Uncle, Cousin Jay and my Granddad. It was great seeing more family. Joshua loved all the attention. He loved being able to play outside in their back yard. He loved the dog, and the great room of toys. While we were there he did come down with a stomach bug and was puking a lot. Then later that turned into a cough and runny nose. I felt so sorry for him that he had to get sick on vacation.
More pictures.
My Aunt Twila, Joshua and I. Joshua isn't feeling very well at all here. He is getting over the stomach bug and also has a fever. We were in Chili's in Dallas, coming back from Temple. This was at the very end of our stay.
Joshua not feeling well. He fell asleep on the hard tile floor in the kitchen.
