Sick, again

So, we have had another couple of days with Josie being sick. She woke up yesterday hoarse and stuffed up. Luke took her to the doctor today, just to be on the safe side, but they said it's just another common cold. She weighed in at 18 pounds 7 ounces, she's getting so big. Hopefully this cold doesn't last long as we have her 6 month pictures this weekend. Hopefully this goes well and then we can cut her hair for the first time. Here is a picture of her first ponytail that she had several weeks ago. Unfortunately it didn't stay in very well.

She was also upgraded to her big carseat two weeks ago. Here is a picture of her in the seat.

Busy Day

Saturday brought us a very busy day. Josie and I spent some time with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Graff before heading out to a baby shower. Josie, as usual, was full of smiles and giggles for all. Then off shopping we went where again it never seems to be enough time. I always forget that everybody feels they need to stop and talk to Josie, whether they know us or not. Luckily Josie just smiles at them. Thank goodness for Grandma LeJeune as she continues to spoil Josie with lots of attention and clothes. We also ran into Uncle John and Aunt Becca at the mall. For some reason though she seems to be slightly scared of her Uncle, I think she was just overtired and hungry. Hopefully he isn't going to get a complex with his almost 6 month old niece crying every time she sees him.

Saturday evening took Josie to Grandpa and Grandma Hanson's will mommy got to enjoy some time to herself, with an entertaining evening with friends, at Piggy's. What a great night we had. Amazingly, Piggy's had booked us in their private room, I wonder if they were anticipating how loud we would actually be. We also had an amazing waiter, Sam, who played along with us all night. A blast we had, and then back to get Josie, to find out she did not have so much fun. She decided to give grandpa and grandma a run for there money. Luckily they finally wore her down and asleep was how I found her. Apparently she had too much fun all day and decided she just wanted to play crabby pants for the evening.

Well, today we are off to visit Great Grandma Joann. Here is an old picture of Josie with Joann. Then we have a birthday party for Aunt Kendra at Grandpa and Grandma Hanson's. It looks to be another busy day ahead of us.

Our First Blog

It's amazing the many things that the internet brings us. For me, I'm just a mom that has decided to create a blog for the many family members that don't get to see our sweet, beautiful daughter often enough. Josie is 5 and a half months old now and getting so big. She has figured out how to roll to get to things. The other night she found herself playing in her Uncle John's video games that we have on the floor in front of the tv. She came rolling across the floor staring at the bright green cases. She has an amazing sense of control in her movements. She has even figured out how to scoot to change the direction of her roll.

Currently I'm sitting in the living room writing this post staring at her and her daddy rocking in the recliner. She's fighting sleep, needless to say. She is generally in bed by about 8:30 every night and sleeps until around 5am, yes I know I'm quite spoiled.

Now please keep in mind that I am definetely not much of a writer so the posts may get interesting. Hopefully this will bring joy to everyone.

Here is a picture of Josie Ann the day that we brought her home from the hospital.

Here she is surrounded by her many Christmas presents on the LeJeune side.

And here she is having cereal for one of the first times. Boy oh boy was she messy at first.

That's all for now.
