Joseph memories

His toothless smile that lit up the world (and how it was very hard to get him to smile for the camera).
His real laugh.
The way he would bury his face into my shoulder when tired or hungry.
His delirious babble when he was tired.

Falling asleep in my arms.
His funny poses when he was sleeping.
His snoring.

The way he would grab a piece of my clothing and pull it close, thus pulling me close to him as if he had something important to tell me.

The way he pulled my hair (ouch).
The way he would grab tightly a finger or part of my arm when eating or falling asleep, as if he wanted to be sure I wasn't going anywhere.
How he would smile and be wide awake at 4 in the morning.
How he would watch and look at everything with such interest.
How he would just watch and stare at his sister, Clara. He admired(s) her.
He wore at least 4 outfits a day.
His chubby cheeks.
His blue eyes and blond hair.

He put his hands on everything and everything in his mouth.
He rolled over (from stomach to back) at a week old (twice).
He rolled over (from back to stomach) on February 26, 2013. (and now we cannot keep him from moving/rolling around).
When he started "talking" and his conversations during diaper changes.
How he tried so hard to say words.
