Baptismal Weekend

This past weekend was a very special weekend for our family- Josephine was baptized. It was so nice to catch up with our families and celebrate.

 

What made the baptism even more special was Josie was able wear the same baptismal gown my sister and I wore 30 years ago. Mom has kept it in a hope chest all this time and it looks exactly the same.

 

 

 

These are from my baptism with my Godmother/Nana. Keri had a fro and never brushed her hair, but I assume my mother made an exception that day!  :)

Godparents- Keri and Frank

We had such a great day/night that of course something was bound to go wrong. As soon as we got home Josie started throwing up and had diarrhea. For 2-3 days we have been dealing with a sick baby and its not fun. She has barely been eating and sleeping all day and night, but thankfully she doesn't have a fever. Today she seems to be feeling better and almost back on her schedule- thank god!

 

What we've been doing since Saturday night...

 

 

 

Happy Friday

Josephine is anxiously waiting for her family to arrive

for her special weekend!

 

 

 

 

 

2 Month Check Up

This morning Josie had her 2 month check up and it went really well. The first thing the doctor said when she walked in was, "somebody learned how to eat"- hahaha. We also had her first round of vaccines which of course hurt us more then it hurt her. She cried for a second for the two injections but took the oral vaccine like a champ. Here are her stats from today....

 

Weight- 12lb 7oz (jumped to 70th percentile- gained 3lb in a month)

Height- 23.5 inches (90th percentile)

Diaper size- still in NB but not for much longer- she has a little butt

Clothes Size- still 0-3 month- not quite filling out her 3 mo yet

 

On another note, she slept 5.5 hours last night which is a new record, and then after eating proceeded to projectile vomit all over me and herself. But she slept over 5 hours and that's what matters.

Happy Friday

 

2 Months

Well, today Josephine is officially 2 months old! I can't believe how fast time is going and how much she has grown this month. I don't have her official weight ( I weigh her on Fridays), but she has grown a lot and is becoming a little chatter box. She LOVES her mat time and loves to punch her elephant rattle, and is still picking her head up like a champ. She loves to coo and talk to us and of course is smiling up a storm. She is such a good baby and hasnt met someone she doesn't like yet. She is extremely observant and very alert and loves to take everything in.

She has also started taking notice of the dogs since they are always around her. I've caught her smiling at Simba and Riley's barking doesn't bother her at all. Another big milestone this month is we have transferred her to the crib. She's been in there for about 2 weeks now and is doing really really well. Thank god she is a good sleeper and hasn't minded the change at all. She is still up every 3-4 hours to eat, but that's OK...she's a growing girl.

Here are her monthly photos along with some of the dogs.

 

These are from 5am this morn when she didn't

want to go back to sleep

 

 

 

 

 

Christmastime is Here...

Even though its 60 degrees here, we are still ready for Christmas and can't wait to celebrate! Here are some photos of our decorations. Oh yea, and I have exactly one month until I go back to work....but who's counting :(

Nick's Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

 

Jane Susan special from 1977!

 

 

Yesterday, Mom and I went shopping and enjoyed the nice weather- Josie enjoyed the day too. I also figured out how to take multiple pictures at once on my camera- score! And on an even better note, I bought a baby scale to keep track of her weight gain in between doctor visits. I am happy to report that this week alone she has gained 12oz! She was at 10lb 15.5oz yesterday and counting. Nick is now calling her chubbs! :)
