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! :)

 

Relaxing in her favorite colors- pink and orange

 

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite Holiday because of my mothers cooking and this year was even more special. Josephine was the hit of the holiday, and we had such a good time catching up with family and enjoying the nice weather. I thought about getting her one of those lame "It's my first Thanksgiving" outfits, but decided against it ( I did get one for Christmas because well...its Christmas.) Here are some of the photos from this weekend

Great Great Uncle Bob

Great Uncle Johnny

I asked Frankie to smile and this

is what I got....hahaha he was a wild man!

Happy Friday!

Josephine has started her first Black Friday with a luxurious bath and a nap. Later we will head to German Village to pick up some Bahama Mama's from Schmidt's, and then spend the rest of the day watching the boob tube and putting up Christmas decorations.

 

 

 

Riley likes to make herself comfortable

 

Happy Friday

Happy Friday to all! Today Josephine and I have already been busy. We went to my 6 week check up, gave her a bath, doing some laundry, and later we will be making some Paula Deen Pumpkin Bars, taking a walk outside and just enjoying the sunshine.

1 Month Check Up

Sorry for the lack of posting but things here have pretty much been status quo around here- no sleep and lots of poop. However, Josephine had her 1 month check up today and she had a great report. The doctor said she looked great and to keep doing what I'm doing. Here are her stats....

Height- 23 inches

Weight- 9lb 7.5 oz

Head- 15 in

 

She is in the 98th percentile for height, 45th for weight and 88th for head...whatever that means. I am just so happy that her weight has steadily increased each week and now we don't go back until her 2 month check up.

 

 

waiting at the doctor office

she had her 2nd Hepatitis B shot-

she only cried for a second

Last Friday we had some special guests stop by! Molly, Joe and Caroline Dolan stopped by ( with dinner! :) ) on their way to Mansfield and we were so happy to see them. Caroline is 6 months old and will be Josephine's BFF and soccer pal for years to come! How can you resist those rosy cheeks!!!
