I haven't updated for a while, so I decided it was about time. The thing that made me think of updating today is that I had the sad realization that my baby is growing and FAST! This morning, we were playing on the floor in the living room and she was trying to get a toy into her mouth (Of course). It wouldn't cooperate, so she wiggled around until all of a sudden she rolled right over onto her tummy! The poor toy was then right under her face and had no escape. I just couldn't believe it! She's not supposed to be that big yet! She loves to stand and is even trying to sit up these days. She tries to pull herself up whenever she gets the chance. And, she gets thrilled whenever we sit her up somewhere where she has a good view. (Like the barstool at the counter). We gave her a bottle
last weekend, and she decided that she wanted to try holding the bottle! We had to take the head cushion out of the carseat because it was too small for her and instead bought some of the little pads that hook on to the shoulder belts. I've had to put away all of her newborn clothes (FINALLY) and even some of the 3 mo. stuff. I can't believe she is almost 4 months old! She'll be eating rice cereal in no time! When she was brand new, she used to fall asleep on my shoulder all the time. Now, she just wants to look around and play and gets mad at me when I try to cuddle. How sad! But at the same time, we are having a lot of fun with this stage too. Its like my mom said, your favorite stage is usually the one they are in, but you always miss the stages they leave behind.
We've had some fun this week. Joslyn has been spending more time in her jungle jumper and has really started to love it. She's even figured out how to make it move around by keeping one leg on the ground and wiggling the other all over the place. Its so funny! The lights and sounds are her favorite part though. She'll just sit there and watch them for a long time.
On Monday night, we got to baby-sit while Justin's brother and his wife went to a concert here in Logan. We made Rolo cookies (always a favorite!), colored, drew mazes, and played Hi-Ho Cherry-O! While we were making the cookies, Justin played some fun songs on the guitar. The favorites were "I am a Child of God", "You are my Sunshine", and the one he made up about the tractor, goats, and making cookies. It was a lot of fun. I makes me more excited for Josie to get older (just not too fast!!)
Last but not least, here is one of my favorite pictures of the week. She's getting ready to punch Dad in the nose. He was probably making fun of her outfit. (There was a diaper incident and those were only clean pants left!)
Josie and Brandson. Josie is about 2 months older than Brandson.
Brandson (2 mo), Naylia (2 1/2) and Josie (4 mo)
