First Easter

Josie had a great Easter Sunday. She was able to see both families, but more importantly, everyone was able to see how big she has become. Everyone welcomed a cute, crawling, cuddly baby. She is a great joy and brings light to all those around her.

This year, Josie was able to experience the Holy Triduum for the first time. What excitement! However, Easter became pretty interesting on Good Friday. We bought her a dress a few weeks ago, a 6-9 month dress. It was really cute and Dave and I picked out shoes to match. Then, I was going to wash it and decided to try it on her one last time, just by chance. Here is when I realized that my little one has basically doubled in size. The buttons were not even near each other, let alone being able to fasten them. So here I was now looking for a new dress. Out and about I found a couple that I was not in love with. Thank goodness I have an Aunt Diane. She came to the rescue and had the perfect dress for her. And they matched her little shoes.

The shoes, by the way, she figured out how to kick off during the first ten minutes of Easter morning mass. Our priest, Father Maassen has a great way of kicking off the Easter season. What a joyous occasion!! I love this time of the year.

This is her Godfather, our parish Deacon Jerry along with his wife, Val. They treat her so well. A blessing everytime we're together.

A mischievous one...

Not only is our little baby crawling now...but mischief has begun. Dave has been wanting her to crawl. Can we all say oh-no, it is about to get crazy.

This was all just within the past few days.

She is on a roll and on a mission.


Poor Roxie, I have to put her bowls up now.


She is now grabbing onto furniture, but has not quite figured out how to stand up. Still watch out, she will grab anything that is on the table.


This was the remnants of a bone of Roxie's. Josie got caught in a chair. Eventually, she found her way through and almost got the bone in her mouth.


There is a shelf of her books. This is the first time she was able to get them all out at the same time.
