From my vantage, I see a sense of humor developing daily. I laugh every time at the touch-anything-to-your-head-and-call-it-a-hat shtick--Joseph tells it five to ten times a day. The original version involved a stacking cup at bath time, but several remixes involving butter knives, baby shoes and cat toys keep it fresh (or at least prove that delivery trumps content).
Generally, Joseph enjoys both incongruity and silliness. I loosened his car seat straps last week and bid him to "hop on out and come inside with Daddy." He stared at me a few seconds, then looked to each of the straps helplessly.
"C'mon, let's go, Buddy. Hop on out, carry in these bags and make us some lunch." I added, sternly.
After some thought and serious judgment about the distance between the seat and the car floor, Joseph squirmed with pleasure. He met every new request with louder and louder giggles. He surprises me with how fast he catches on.
Plain silliness works too. Next time you visit, try making this silly face: pucker your face into a blowfish impression and bob your head like an angry Sheneneh.

2 Hungry Caterpillars
Joseph celebrated his 1st birthday this weekend! Mommy baked this Hungry Caterpillar cake for her hungry caterpillar. GiGi, Nana, Grandad, Grandpa Joe and Grand-Debbie all visited to celebrate the little guy's big "1." Be sure to check out the messy cake-eating photos on Flickr. You have to be "Flickr Friend" to view the photos. If you need help signing up to be my friend on Flickr, send me an email or call.
