I have not done a very good job at keeping up with Joseph and his milestones.
- 1 week: he rolled over from back to front. And then did it again at two weeks.
- By 3 months he was rolling every which way and all over the house.
- Sat up by himself by 6 months. Stood up onto things at same time. Cruised shortly after. Could sit down from standing at same time and pick up items off floor in standing/cruising position at same time. He also climbed stairs around 8 months (long before he walked).
- Was army crawling very early and crawling for real by 5-6 months.
- Was walking by 10 1/2 months (he took his first steps at my parents house on the first Friday in September).
- Cannot remember exactly when he said his first word but his first words consist of: Daddy, Clara, Teagan (a dog-and I have to always remember that whenever he saw something that walked on 4 legs, he called it Teagan). As of today (July 20, 2014), I have not heard "mommy" come out of his mouth :( .
In addition to the words he says, he also can "say"/express: thank you and excuse me. And one of his favorite things to do these days is close doors. And when he does, he says "bye, bye."
He loves to cuddle, I call him my "cuddle boy." He loves to give hugs when you get home or are leaving to go somewhere (he got that from Clara).
He climbs everything at the playground, even those things that say "ages 5-12."
