Pre-bed

Most nights, we get a chance to just hang out in our living room after supper but before Josie needs to go to bed. Sometimes I even remember to grab my camera! There are a few things you can expect to see on a regular basis.

1. Buckley and Mike "fighting". Why is this entertaining, you ask? Because all Mike has to do is move suddenly or slam his hands on the carpet and Buckley will get in his "pounce" position and hop up and down. It's what he does when he is excited and I do have to admit keeps us laughing all. the. time. He just doesn't get how to play the "normal" way!

2. Josie crawling and pulling herself up on laundry baskets, couches, chairs, trunks, and more.

3. Josie getting picked up and pulled away from heaters, doorways of other rooms, guitars, and more.

4. Mike and me trying to get Josie's attention (failing miserably) while making complete fools of ourselves.

5. Everyone laying or sitting on the floor instead of on the chair and couch provided. Why do we have those again?

Like I said, sometimes I grab a camera. I don't have many pictures of me with Josie so I thought I'd take a few. I forget that seven month olds don't really get the "look at the camera and smile" thing. These were the best out of at least 20 pictures.

Yep, two pictures. Then I thought to myself, to make us look like we are on the same page, why don't I just do what Josie is doing? That worked well, see?

I swear she's not scared of me.  

She really loves watching her daddy play with her puppy. She hasn't attempted involving herself but I'm sure that's coming soon. 

After Mike makes this face, Buckley usually runs upstairs in fear. I probably would too...
