Upward Dog

I caught Joshua practicing his yoga today.  He is a pro at Upward Dog!

  

This pose made me laugh because he looks exactly like Andrew when we tried to do yoga awhile back...  

Sweet Potatoes

To say that our kid loves to eat would be a huge understatement: 

Peek-a-boo

Joshua couldn't stop laughing during a game of Peek-a-boo today:

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Thanks to Great-Grandma Padilla, Joshua has a little bit of Irish in him.  Who wouldn't want to kiss this face!  

Mama's Boy

Andrew speaking here... So, Amanda gave me the ability to post to the blog as well, though I am sure she will be blogging more consistently than I will. Nonetheless, I thought I'd give it a go...

Lately, as Joshua is seemingly beginning to understand a little more of what we are saying to him, Amanda and I have begun to do what every parent does: try to coerce their child into saying their name (i.e. "mama", or "dada") first! Through this "game" (the two of us have to turn everything into a competition, right?), it has become quite apparent that Joshua is destined to be a huge Mama's Boy. When Amanda looks at him and says "mama" he responds with a huge smile. What happens when I look at him and say "dada" you may ask? Nothing but a blank stare.

                 

And yet, despite all of this, I think we have both agreed (as evidenced by Amanda's previous post) that his first word will probably be "Ally". But we can try, right?

Two Peas in a Pod

This video shows you why Joshua and Ally are best buds.  Joshua has a constant companion, and Ally, well...

Another tooth!

Joshua's second tooth cut through over the weekend!  While teething is no fun for him (or Mom and Dad), it is pretty cute to see his new little smile:

We also introduced Joshua to March Madness this weekend (a Grundstrom favorite!).  Joshua cozied up with Dad during the Lobos' heartbreaker to BYU...
