Josie's 6 month appointment



Last week, we were supposed to meet the doctor at 8:30 AM. We missed it. I called within a half hour to apologize and set up a new appointment and it all seemed fine. Then we got a nasty letter saying that we better not do it again or we will get the boot. I would also like to point out that the letter was just a preprinted letter where they crossed out parts to personalize it. With pen. Classy...

That being said, I really like my doctor, I mean Josie's doctor. He's great. The nurse is great too. It's such a relief to have good health service. I was so tired of all of it before we switched to this independent practice.


Josie is now 27 inches long which puts her in the 90th percentile.
She is 17 lbs 10 1/2 oz which puts her in the 75th percentile.
Her head is 17 1/4 inches which is also in the 75th percentile.

Long and lean like her dad! You can't tell by looking at her though. She is so roly poly I just can't get enough. Those big cheeks just crack me up. Don't hate me when you are older, girly, it's just too cute!


She did ok with the shots, but I'm glad to know that from this point on there will be less shots therefore less crying and pain later and sleepless nights. (I know there will still be sleepless nights, just not for this exact reason).

We also get to start using a sippy cup (any thoughts on what she should be drinking? I'm not a fan of juice this early) and giving her the option of feeding herself (again what kinds of food should we put in front of her? mashed bananas doesn't seem to be the best choice).



She's growing up too fast.

Photo shoot (we do these a lot)

Aunt-proclaimed bonding time.

Ok let's smile for the picture!


Um... Josie? Over here!


Ok good job. Wait. Who's that?? 


Oh well she's fun! Let's make me throw up...ready, go!


Oh man fun times. Did you see that mom?


This block is so good
Aunt: She likes the block more than me.


No explanation for this one...


Mom,why are you laughing? I don't get it. We're just sitting here.


Success! It only took 200 20 tries.


I need a moment to take it all in. Too much fun, too much fun...


I'm sure there will be many more bonding moments to come!

Weekend review


Somebody is eating twice as much as she was before! I swear she is a bottomless pit just like her dad. Why oh why didn't I inherit this gene too?

For all of you wondering where I got my marvelous sweats/dress pants, the answer is JCPenney's. They only cost about $25 and didn't stretch out like I was expecting. #victoryforthelazys

We had a nice weekend just doing random stuff and enjoying the comfort of home. I've managed to keep the house relatively neat and tidy which deserves a medal in my mind (hey don't laugh) and the weather is still unreal so this may just be the best January of my life. Usually at this time I am stuck in a rut working, eating, and sleeping all mopey like because the weather is the worst and its always dark out. There is just no time for that this year!

Also, since I've been so impressive already, I just wanted to share that I've also got my Christmas decorations down. Not necessarily put away because that is a project in itself, but down and no longer in my face. In was starting to feel ridiculous.

Let the work week begin!
