I can hardly believe it has been two years since Joseph joined our family. Time has gone by so fast! It's been so wonderful watching him learn and grow into the little man that he is today. I will never forget the joy I felt when he was placed on my chest seconds after being born. A chubby faced, sweet baby boy who was perfect in every way. I felt so blessed.
He was a tricky baby from day one, and has always been a big eater! The very first night we spent in the hospital he did not stop crying until a nurse fed him a bottle of formula. He nursed the most of my three babies and we have developed a pretty special relationship thanks to many many nights spent nursing and consoling.
For a while he was nick-named "Mr. Serious" thanks to his furrowed brow and dark hair. Even though he seemed serious most of the time, we were still able to catch a few sleepy grins. It was pretty easy for the older two to fall in love with their "baby go". Hyrum still calls him "Joe-Joe" and it's the cutest.
He has delighted us all with his crazy personality lately! He is still "anti-sleep" and climbs more things than the other two ever did put together. He has been pretty excited to celebrate his "bip-day" and be "two". When we ask him what his name is, he replies, "Dough!" When we ask how old he is, he holds up his two pointer fingers and brings them together. He will repeat a lot of what people say these days and is learning new words every day. The first word he says every morning is usually "Hi!". He calls Hyrum "High-ya" and Camilla "Bubba". I love how well they all get along! I can't wait to see what a good big brother he will be!
