Pictures {July}

Sisters playing in a tent...

Our little red head...

Lookin pretty after church...

Makenzie took it upon herself to brush Jojo's hair...

(hence why it is so slicked! hehe)

Enjoying her Gerber cookie! :)

Makenzie is very scared to be a room alone (during the day and night) so we often find her hiding under her blankets at night....

Happy babe...

9 month stats

On the 26th Josie had her 9 month well visit.

She didn't need shots but she did need blood work done! Booo!

Not surprising, she hung on me like a monkey as soon as the nurse and doctor came in! :)

9 Month Stats...

Weight: 18.3 lbs (48th percentile)

Length: 27.5 in (40th percentile)

Head Circumference: 48 cm (99th percentile)

Apparently, she has a big head! :) hehehe

I can't help that she's so smart that her brain needs extra room! :)

And here are some pics of the little babe...

Our {almost} Five Year Old

How can it be that our first born is turning 5 in a few weeks?
It only seems like maybe a couple of years since we found out we were pregnant with her in our tiny basement apartment in Queens!

We were definitely surprised by this little one but God definitely knew what He was doing when He created this little gal! We are so blessed to have her! :)

I may be a little emotional lately about Kennie going into Kindergarten!

I don't know what it is. I didn't feel this way last year when she entered Pre-K.

Five is just so young to be away at school for 7+ hours a day!

From now until who knows when she'll be at school everyday...

I'm just so happy I have been able to spend as much time as I have with her...

I'm so happy we never sent her to school sooner than we did...she has the rest of her years to be out there..but she only has a few years home with her mama!

9 Months

Oh. my. word.

9 months old.

Josie has now entered the last quarter of infant months! :)

Here is JoJo at 9 months...

*Crawling everywhere

*Standing and pulling herself up all the time. I love when I go in to get her up from a nap and she's standing waiting! But on the other hand when she is standing in the middle of the night staring at me it's not that fun!

*Loves swimming!

*Size 3 diaper

*Size 9 month and 6-12 month clothes

*Finally takes a bottle! Only took her 9 months! :) Jeff gives her a nighttime bottle 3x a week when I work. She does well and usually drinks the whole 8 ounces!

*Loves veggies...I think her favorites are peas and sweet potatoes. She tolerates cereal but it's not her favorite. We just tried Gerber Puffs a couple weeks ago. She likes to play with them and put them in her mouth but then spit them out! But her food of choice is still mama's milk! :)

*She loves to watch big sis, but is also started to get irritated with her as well (I don't blame her...big sis can be a little crazy at times!). Makenzie will be in her face and Jo will loudly protest! :)

*Still a horrible sleeper! Each month as I write this I hope by the next month I can write that she is sleeping through the night...or even down to getting up once a night, but that time has not come yet! :) It's ok though I'm fine on little sleep! :)
