6 months!


Our little baby is growing so quickly! She is 6 months old now and changing so much. 
Here is what Josie is doing at 6 months:

*wearing size 3 diapers
* 9-12 month clothes
*rolling both ways
* sitting up (getting better every day!)
* eating baby food (bananas, pears, applesauce and peaches)
*2 teeth
*Goes to bed  around 7:30 and sleeps until 5 or 6am.  (We will be working on pushing bedtime back, but for now this is working best with our schedule)
*She likes to be rocked and cuddled until she is drowsy...if I put her down too early she lets me know by crying and kicking her legs in the crib. (a little temper coming out, maybe???)
*Loves her paci at night.
*Requires lots of sleep during the day.....helping her to remember naps are 1 1/2 hours...not just 45 minutes. (Rubs her eyes when she is tired)
*naps at 7:30, 10:30, 1:30 and has a short cat nap around 4:30.
*Nursing/bottle every 3 hours
*loves her sisters...they can make her laugh so hard.
*Plays well in her exersaucer. She hasn't figured out how to jump yet, so she isn't loving her jumper-roo or johnny jump up yet.
*love to talk and babble!!
*chews on everything
*enjoys bathtime
* loves being with the family. 

I ended up having to put her 6 month sticker on the blanket above her because she kept eating it!! Ha!

Sitting pretty!

Loves playing on the floor so she can roll and get the toys she wants
Practicing sitting again with Kennedy's help
Such a big girl

Daddy feeding her peaches.


Yum!!

Getting ready for the bath...her shirt got "stuck" on her head and Kennedy thought this was so cute so she snapped a picture. 

I can't believe half of her first year is over. We go to the doctor later this month for her shots and stats. Love our little lump of sugar!

Family visits!

Tony's family came down after Christmas! First Aunt Dar and Uncle Lee came.
Talking with Aunt Dar...ready to open gifts!

Jillian bought Aunt Dar a back scratcher with her own money. 

The twins bought her stuff too! So sweet.
Present time!




Cuddles with Daddy later that day
Aunt Dar got to rock Josie

Cuties the next morning
Love those big blue eyes!
Making chocolate covered popcorn! Yum!

Movie time!! We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Silly girls!


New Years eve we had hamburgers on the grill and lots of goodies! My parents stopped by to say hello!

Bedtime snuggles with PaPaw and YaYa. They just didn't want to go to sleep. (Buddy their dog is on the couch with them too!)

We had such a wonderful time with everyone! We just don't get to see them all enough. That wrapped up our Christmas! It was a great one!!
