Growing Up- Joshua

A couple of weeks ago I took Joshua to the park while Lily was at physical therapy. 

I was able to get him to cooperate with me and take pictures and then go play.

Although he is super happy kid, whenever I try to take picture he give me very odd painful looking smiles. Thankfully a few pictures turned out nicely!

It still amazes me how big he has grown. It seems like just yesterday we were given this little scared boy in China! Now he is happy and laughs all the time.

To add to that, he is truly the sweetest boy. I've never met a kid as sensitive as he is. Don't get me wrong, he is all boy and has his rebellious moments, but at the end of the day he'll just cuddle next to you as you read a book.  

I am also amazed by how far he has come physically. When we first got him he was mobile and walking, but since the casts and now braces, he is a new kid. He not only walks so much better- but he runs, and he bikes, and he scooters! Yes, his favorite outdoor activity is riding his scooter. (And he is a pro at it!)
