One

First things first....the end of the monthly photos. As you can see, Josie went out with a bang and didn't want some stinkin bear in her chair! She was wild all day on Sunday. I don't know if she is still on a sugar rush or just overly tired from all the excitement, but she didn't want to take a nap, and she was tearing into all her new toys and had a great time playing.

 She grew so much the last month and I know its just going to continue from here on out. Right off the bat, she caught that nasty hand, foot and mouth virus. Once that ran its course she was much better and has been a wild woman ever since. She got two new teeth and started to pull herself up on furniture and can now stand in her crib, and hi-five! Lots of new foods which include- broccoli and cheese rice, strawberries, grilled cheese, chicken and dumplings, cereal bars, bagel bites, chicken parmesan, pumpkin pancakes, oatmeal, tater tots, chicken nuggets, and spaghetti o's.

We went to the doctor this morning and Dr. Niland was so happy with her progress and couldn't believe a year has already passed.
