May Post and General Josie Updates



Josie woke up one morning and her hair was doing
something quite peculiar. We of course reached
for the camera and took pics from every angle. She'll
appreciate it when she's older.


Josie had watertots every Thursday in May.
You can tell that she started to enjoy being in the
water. When we started, only mom could hold
her, she made so much progress.

We went out for Mother's day to a Japanese
restaurant. She was a natural with the chopsticks.
It was the first time she held them and she did
exceptionally well.

She loves feeling the showerhead on her feet.

April Josie Pics and General Update

April was a fun month. We had some nice weather
and took Josie for her first playground outing.
She loved the slide and swings. We had a hard
time leaving. Dad pushed her way too high for
my comfort, but Steve is Steve. Josie is walking
with more confidence every day and interacting
more with us. We had a great trip to Canada
for Easter. We weren't sure how she would do with
such a long drive but she was great! We spent time
with all of Steve's family and Josie and I met some
family for the first time. It was a nice weekend
getaway.



She loves to hold our hand when she walks.


We enrolled Josie in watertots in April. She wasn't
so sure about the water at first. In fact she hated
it. I'll try describe it so you can get a mental picture.
The first week she cried the entire time in the pool
and clenched her legs around my waist so tight I could
have let go and she wouldn't have gone anywhere.
The second week she started crying when we got into
the dressing room. The third week she cried when we
came thru the gym door. The fourth week she cried
when we drove into the parking lot. The fifth week
she didn't cry and spent time with Dad in the pool.
The sixth week she didn't want to come out
of the pool. Success!

1st week in watertots.


A glimpse of the enjoyment that was to come.


Just woke up from a nap.

March Josie Pics and General Update

March was a milestone month! Josie is walking.
She still loves to use the little walker, still gives
her more stability and quickness. She looks like
a little diva with her mink (pink fuzzy blanket).
Josie loves making pretend food with her little
spoon and cup and likes to feed it to us. Josie
stopped attending daycare the last day of February.
We had a daycare gap for 2 weeks while grandma
was on vacation. Mommy got to work from home
and spend time with Josie, yeah! Cousin Marisa
also helped out and stayed with Josie when mom
had to go into the office. Thanks Marisa for reading
Biscuit is Thankful 100 times.








Opening drawers is a favorite thing right now.


Jackpot!


This is a look we know well. "Please take this now!"


Josie loves this little Santa. He plays the drums
for us constantly. She's also mommy's little
helper, she loves to dust everything.


Josie also loves to remove everything from bags.


Yum, Strawberries!




Peekabo!




She has almost all her teeth in as you can see.


She's been enjoying the shower lately, she
doesn't want to sit during her bath.
