4 Month Update

Well, believe it or not Josie is almost four months old. She went to the doctor yesterday and she was 25 inches long and 13 pounds 12 ounces. Jay and I can't believe she has grown so much. Right now she has a runny nose and watery eyes. We think it is allergies. She looks a mess and sounds awful but she just keeps smiling. She has giggled a few times and she talks a lot. I wonder where she gets that from. Tummy time is not so bad any longer. She gets right up on her arms and holds herself up for a long time. When you put her on your lap she pushes up with her legs and stands for several seconds then she starts to wobble and her legs go out from under her. The doctor said she is quite strong. Everyone continues to say how much she looks like Jay.

She is having a conversation with Siam. She was talking to him and he was meowing back at her. This went on for about 3 minutes.

Sheree, a woman from church has started staying with her a few times a month so I can go to meetings. We are so fortunate to have her coming over. Josie loves her and she is great with Josie. Not to mention that she has done several loads of laundry and quite a bit of ironing for us. Now I just have to figure out how to get her to grocery shop and cook dinner.

Jay carved the first family pumpkin the other night at the town pumpkin carving contest. His pumpkin won the prize for the cutest pumpkin. We put Josie next to a stack of pumpkins to take her picture. She is so cute in the little pumpkin outfit.

Jay, Josie, and the winning pumpkin.

It did not work quite the way I thought it would but we gave it a shot.

She also took her first plane ride last week. I had a meeting in San Diego so we flew down there. She did not make a peep. In fact she slept the entire way down and most of the way back. I can't remember who gave me the tip about giving her a bottle during take off and landing but it works. I think she has her dad's flying gene.
