Christmas at Grandma's house

 Later Christmas day, we headed over to my parent's house to have Christmas there.
 Everyone got to watch the video of the girls running down the stairs and squealing on Christmas morning.
 Jillian brought Kit along for the fun!
 2 tired parents. :)

 Sweet baby got to play in the exersaucer at Grandma's house while everyone opened their gifts.

Christmas 2015

 We had a great Christmas! It's so fun to have a baby in the house. :)

 She loovvves to blow raspberries!!

 Aunt Dar sent this beautiful blanket for Josie's first Christmas. 
Love.

 Her name was monogrammed on it!

 We've been working hard at sitting up! I was able to snap a picture of her sitting!!

 On Christmas Eve my parents took the big girls to Sugar Creek for their Christmas Eve service. :) They wore their Christmas dresses!
 Sweet baby is doing so well at night sleeping in her crib. She sleeps from about 7:30-6:30 each night. She still has some nights where she fusses when I put her down, but once she falls asleep she is good to go! Naps, on the other hand......we need to work on those. 
(*She sleeps on her back during the night, but for naps we found she sleeps better on her tummy)

 Christmas eve pj's. I LOVE having 4 girls who don't mind matching!

Josie's 5 1/2 month update and Christmas pics

 Sweet baby had a lot of changes this weekend. We decided since school is out for 2 weeks, now is the time to sleep train her and begin baby food.
 Our sweet happy girl playing in her exersaucer
 So cute in her high chair
 First bite!
 Hmmmm....
She did good. She is still getting used to it, but doing well overall.
 Josie loves her Sophie the giraffe....especially because her 2nd tooth came in this weekend!!
 She got to play in her new jumper-roo!

Josie is doing a good job with sleeping all night. She has now dropped the middle of the night feeding and is in her crib officially. She has also graduated to a sleep sack (instead of her zipadee-zip). Lots of changes! 

We tried to get some Christmas pictures before church today. They turned out cute, but I couldn't get them all smiling and looking in the same picture.
