New skillz

Joshua was a very cooperative boy when I took him for a long grocery shopping trip a week and a half ago. (Did I say it was long? It was long.) Once we got home I left him to play in the semi-fenced-off area of our living room so that I could unload and unpack all the food. He was quiet for a bit, then started making sounds... "ehhh, ohhh, ahhhhhh" -- louder and longer over the next couple minutes. I was calling out to him from the kitchen to let him know I was coming soon, and when I went out to see what he was up to, this was what I found.

He was so pleased with himself.

Next task: Learn how to get back down. Or acquire a helmet.

At his 3-month check-up today, he weighed in at 14lbs, 8oz and is at the 75th percentile for height, weight and head circumference. =) We are loving his open-mouth smiles and occasional giggles. He is testing his voice and learning new sounds every day.
