Joshua Hall

Hello. You can see what my name is in the banner my Dad designed (above). But, unlike my little brother, I also go by a shortened nickname: you know, Josh. My parents think it's funny, but I usually just point at my brother and call him 'Miah' (pronounced maya), because--as expected--toddler mouths don't work like older ones. I should start, I guess, by telling you some facts about myself . . . Well, first of all, I'm two-years-old. I was born October 9th, 2003 in Lewisville, Texas. But I live out in the country now, and as you can see from the picture on the right, I like playing in my Mama's flower beds. As a matter of fact, I like most kinds of dirt in most locations. Soil is "where it's at." My Mom had petunias and impatiens this last summer, so I was on "dirt probation" for a while, but--sure enough--they died, so now I'm free to explore the finer points of soil once again.

I try not to discriminate, though. When at the park, I really don't mind digging in sand. Oh, and speaking of the park, check out the action shot of me and my Da-da going down a slide. I like going down slides.

As you can see, I currently have interests in literature (like Daddy, only messier with my library) and also the culinary arts--or--at least where Mama's chocolate frosting is concerned. Actually, I really have become quite the little helper since my baby brother came home. I like watching Mama change Jeremiah's diaper. It makes Mama and Da-da laugh when I point at him and yell: "Pee pee!" I think it's pretty cool that Jeremiah has one of those, too.
