More Baby Pictures

Maybe one day I'll stop taking so many pictures of Josie. But until then, I'll be posting lots. :) Here are a few of the fun ones this week.

Most babies are propped up sitting down. Josie doesn't like to sit. She likes to stand. And she wedges into the couch so well...

Joslyn was being fussy, so to distract her from crying, Justin took her for a ride in the laundry basket around the house. (Don't worry, it was clean!)

I decided to see how Josie liked drumming. The wooden spoon was the drumstick and my big exercise ball was the drum. She didn't like drumming as much as she like the spoon..

I let Josie play in her crib for a while one morning while I was putting her laundry away. If you look at her hand placement, you can see that she's got her little fingers on the blue button that turns on her fish aquarium thingy. For about 5 minutes, she was turning it off and on. So funny!

Halloween Pictures

I've learned that waiting until Halloween morning to put together a costume isn't the best idea. As a result, Justin and I didn't dress up. But we dressed Joslyn up and went down to Mimi and Papa's house to see all the cousins. It was a lot of fun to see their costumes. Everyone was so cute. Well, except the scary ones. :) Here are some pictures.

cute baby

I know, I've gone post-crazy tonight but I couldn't call it a night without the latest pictures of Joslyn. Nothing to say really except that my baby is stinkin' cute.

Smiles for mom.

Buddha Belly! Finally!

hahaha... :)

New outfit.

With all the finger-sucking she's been doing, Justin and I were wondering if she could fit her whole fist in her mouth. Well, now we know.

Painting Pumpkins

Every year on the Sunday before Halloween, all Justin's family gets together to paint pumpkins. With so many little kids running around, it just isn't practical to carve them and besides, when you paint them you get to do fun pictures and all that. This year Justin did the painting and put together our Mr. Potatoe-head pumpkin. We have some good looking pumpkins!

Videos

I decided to try putting up a couple of videos to see how it works. The first is Josie giggling--too cute! She gets the hiccups whenever she giggles more than once. The second, I just thought was funny, so I had to post it.

Random Things

Now that I'm at home with the baby, I have all the spare time that I didn't have when I was going to work 8 hours a day. I went to the library yesterday, knowing that I have a list of books a mile long that I want to read. As I wandered around the library looking for books, I couldn't think of even one off my list. So I am compiling a list that I can print out and take with me to the library next time I go. I am ALWAYS looking for suggestions on books to read. The only kind I don't really enjoy are the sappy romances. So anything else, suggest away!

I'm also trying to think of inexpensive things to do with family/friends so that its not ALWAYS game night at my house or their house or whatever. I do enjoy game night, so new game ideas are welcome too.

Finally, exciting news! I have been trying really hard to keep in shape, since I got in pretty good shape right before I had Joslyn. And I am so excited to announce that I actually weigh LESS than it says on my driver's license! Hurray!

Photo Tag

My cousin DeAnna tagged me with this fun version of tag. You go into your photo albums/folders on your computer and take the fourth photo out of the fourth album and post it. My folder was called "Hawaii 2006". We went to my parents for Christmas the first year we were married, so it was really the end of 2005/beginning of 2006. I miss the flowers while I'm here on the mainland, so I usually load up my camera with pictures of them.

I was just reading my cousin's blog to see what she was talking about, probably the same way that you are doing on mine. Little did I know that just by reading I got tagged. So, in case you haven't put it together yet, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU ARE TAGGED!!!! So go ahead and post the fourth picture from the fourth album on your computer. Happy Tagging! :)
