Josie has been kind of sick this week. She's still congested and more fussy than normal...but she's still eating a lot and surprisingly she has also smiled more than ever this week! She is such a doll! We love her! She hasn't been sleeping as good as she normally does and I think it's because she hasn't felt very well and seems to be a little over-stimulated with the Christmas activities. Still, she's loved playing with her aunt and uncle! We all love when she gets so tired and she falls asleep in our arms. I love when she opens one eye part-way to see if I'm still holding her and then smiles with half her mouth and closes her eye again when she sees that I am.
We're still in the process of switching Josie to formula and things are going okay. She spits up more than she used to and her diapers are a lot more offensive, but she seems to like the taste of formula and has the same appetite! What she really doesn't like now are her diapers! In fact, I think her messy diapers may be contributing to her slightly increased fussiness.
She’s still growing big and strong. She’s grabbing at more things and beginning to be more interactive with us when she plays. She’s making more noises and we just love it! She's still such a wiggle worm and kicks her feet hard when she's laying on her back. She's graduated from her newborn clothes and is wearing 0-3 months clothes now. When we weigh her on our home scale with us she seems to be around 13 lbs but that may not be 100% accurate. It’s amazing to me that she weighs almost twice as much as she did when she was born.
We love Josie and we love watching her grow! We are eager to see her develop into a little girl, but we are loving every moment now!
Josie made out better than everyone this Christmas...even though she really didn't have any idea what was going on!!
The toy that's been the biggest hit is her "Sassy Me in the Mirror" - She loves to see herself!
I can already see we're going to have a little drama queen on our hands!
Jared and I pretended to be surprised when we opened our gifts...even though we've been using them since we purchased them on Black Friday.
"Oh, look! I got the camera that's taking this VERY picture!"
Merry Christmas!
JOEL - These were some more pics from Christmas! Dad sure loves to show off his diet to us. The rest of us had a turkey, ham, beans, rolls, cake, cake ball things, vegetables, etc. Dad had one celery stick, a tiny piece of ham you could barely see and a 1/4 ounce of turkey. Wow Dad...don't get a tummy ache with all the food you ate. LOL...You can actually see that dad's humonguous gut is shrinking now!! Way to go!

"Hey Mom!"
"What's the big idea?!"
"I do NOT look like Jack Black!"
Yes you are! And I love you so much!!
Please tell me how this happens...when we swaddle our little girl and put her to sleep the other direction in the middle of her crib?
And how does it happen without me even hearing her wrestle on the monitor?
