Joshua turned one! He was fascinated by the candle in the cake. He liked the wrapping paper, but didn't understand the concept of opening. He gets excited at the end of the first video.

Joshua liked hearing "Happy Birthday." He even dances a little during the video.

Joshua enjoyed his applesauce cake, but did not smear it or even make a mess. His favorite food right now is yogurt. Other than yogurt he only eats finger foods. He never really ate "baby" food though he just recently acquired his second and third teeth. Both are in a fang position on top. His favorite thing is the KitchenAid. He loves to be near it even when we are not using it. He points to it every morning when he gets up. Joshua also likes sliding and "dancing" to music. His latest quirk is a hand pump to the side. Another interesting fact about Joshua is that he will not drink from a spill proof cup. He won't suck on it so he gets frustrated and cries. So after making him try we take out the valve. He is walking with help, either hands or furniture though he prefers crawling. When someone new comes near him he curls up against Mom, but sometimes he still smiles. Joshua babbles a lot. He might say Hi, Dad, Mom and out.
