Josie - 18 Weeks

This is Josie's new favorite move...she twist and turns and tries to flip herself over.

Daddy was helping me take pictures of Josie...pulling down her dress and making her smile. Josie always smiles for daddy!

I wonder if she'll get daddy's dimple!
Mommy and Josie matched at Church today. It was the first time that Josie went to Church for all three hours! She slept the first two and then I went to the kitchen and warmed up her bottle and fed it to her the last hour. It helped that the Priesthood and Relief Society was combined today so Jared could help me and we sat on the same bench in the chapel for all 3 hours. She did so good!!

This weekend Mommy and Josie played again after her morning nap. We decided to go get daddy up and we all played in Mommy and Daddy's big bed. I put Josie on my feet and up in the air like an airplane. I was laughing and smiling and saying, "Hi!" to Josie. We were having so much fun...until Josie spit up in my mouth! Yup, it was about the most disgusting thing ever! Jared just laughed!

Josie Sings

Sorry I didn't get this video uploaded in time for Joel to see it today-hopefully he'll see it next week!
Josie skipped the stage where she coos…and moved right into yelling. I think maybe she was trying to sing, it was super cute but sounded like high-pitch screaming to me.

Josie - 17 Weeks

Watching Football with Daddy! Go Colts!

What a snow storm!

Went to the cabin on Friday night and the snow sure fell! It started during the night and continued all day on Saturday. This is a pic of Logan Canyon while it was snowing and on the way back from Logan. It sure was a winter wonderland.

Janessa and dad did a great job with their shoveling skills. The problem though is that it continued to snow all day so I am sure all the inches of snow they pushed off the driveway are back.

Jay splurged at the Desert Star Playhouse and had a piece of popcorn. What a treat.

Tyson was being crazy as usual, ran into the fridge and got a big bump on his head. He was not very happy as you can see.

JUST HANGIN' OUT

We finally pulled the swing out of storage. Corbin loves looking at the mobile.

Corbin is starting to smile and interact with us a lot more. It is so fun to see his little chubby face light up. Doesn't he look cute in the outfit Grammy Jana got him?

Tyson has been putting good use to the cooking stuff he got for his b-day. He loves to help make anything sweet.

Emily's Suprise B-day gift

Jason bought Emily tickets for the play, "Twi-lite" at the Desert Star Theater last Saturday. To help celebrate, he invited Emily's parents and us to attend too. It was a cute lil' spoof on the movie/book, Twilight. Very fun afternoon! Happy Birthday, Emily!

 

 

 

Josie - 16 Weeks

Josie has a new-found love affair with her hands!

Now that Josie appears to be fine on the Soy formula, I've started giving her some of the breast milk I've frozen. I thought everything would be fine if I didn't drink milk...but I guess I wasn't very diligent with cheese, and chocolate...and sour cream...and those 2 pieces of ice cream cake to celebrate my 2 year work anniversary. It seems that the breast milk is making Josie get a rash again. And she hasn't had hiccups in the longest time (well, since we've been feeding her formula). I don't really know what causes hiccups, but I guess breast milk does.

My friend recently drove from California to Colorado and reported that the female mullet is alive and well in Utah. I would like to report that it is also alive and well in Colorado.

Josie has a great daddy!
This last week Josie has really liked to be in the Baby Bjorn facing forward. In fact, she's even fallen asleep that way. Today it was 50 degrees, so I put on her hat and mittens (Josie is so cute in a hat, by the way) and wrapped a blanket around her and we went for a walk. When we got home, I knew she would be tired and ready for a nap, so I took her out of the Baby Bjorn and she started to cry. I swaddled her and put her in the swing, and she still kept crying. So, I put her back in the baby bjorn and that's how she fell asleep.

Wouldn't you love eyelashes like this?

Someone came to play today with me!

 

 

I just thought this was a cute picture of my little guy.

Tummy time with Corbin. He is doing really well at holding his head up already. Tyson loves to sit by Corbin and help him with tummy time and anything else that Corbin is doing.
Jason hit a deer the other night with our saturn. Tyson was in the car with him. Luckily no one was hurt, just the car.
