a new toy

Grandma gave Josie a Leap Frog Learning Center for Christmas. To early to play with then, but now that she can sit up without support, time to pull out something new and exciting. Here is the proof that it is pretty cool. Fun for mommy and baby to both play with together. It is pretty strange how you turn into such a little kid yourself when playing with the little ones.




Oh just funny

Josie was doing her daily routine, rolling around like crazy on the floor when she headed to the floor activity center. Daddy calls it her "Fun Zone". I looked down and saw that she had pulled this center over her head and could not get out. What a hoot. She surely brings joy.




7 months now...WOW!

Josie is now 7 months old and doing great. At her 6 month checkup, she was 17 1/2 pounds (75%), 26 inches (65%) and her head is in the 60%. The doctor is still really proud of her ability to be so strong. She really thinks that no later than 9 months she will be crawling. Currently, she is lifting herself up, and scooting backwards. A mobile monster we have created!

She eats 3 meals through the day, one veggie and one fruit (stage 2), with rice. She is down to four bottles a day, making dishes a bit easier. I really don't like the bottle cleaning wand. What a pain! She is still sleeping through the night, about 10 hours, thankfully, 8 pm. to 6-ish. She does not get fed before 6 am.

Josie has gone through her first fever and sickness. She in the end had the highest temp of 102.5, and did mom freak out. I started driving again that day, just in case I had to meet Dave at the doctor's office. Of course, she is tougher than I, and pulled out the next day, better than ever.

The newest development is that she is cutting both her bottom teeth, and both on the same day!!! A 7-month present, we will call them. They don't seem to bother her though. No extra fussiness, crying, nothing...man I love this kiddo.

Soon she will be staying her first night away from mom and dad...we will let you know how that goes. Cross your fingers.



Her she is enjoying the tub. She loves a fun, splash-full bath!


Josie can now clap her hands. She does it all the time, making everyone yell "YEAH" around her to encourage her on. But take notice, she wore her Cardinal gear on the day pitchers and catchers checked into Spring Training!! From that day, a 54 day countdown began. We have already bought a 7 game ticket pack. Ready to go!!

This last picture is true...Daddy loves me! But of course!
