BathTime Jingle

Josefine has this little toy. It looks like horse (it has a mane) and a cow (it has horns). So, we call it her "How" or her "Corse." :)

Although my facebook friends have suggested that it just may be a dragon. Hey, it's possible. But, "How" just has such a nice ring to it.

A Walk in the Park

Wow...it's been too long. We've been taking pictures, I promise! It's just been getting them on here that's been the challenge! Life has been busy these days...we're enoying eachother and watching our li'l Josefine disover new things along the way! Today we tried a little tummy time on the sidewalk for a few pictures. She seemed to enjoy the new "feeling" of it...she grasped at the ground with her hands a lot trying to figure this new thing out! She also enjoyed makin' eyes at Papa...

Ode to Mama & Papa

A little smile
from me to you,
a sweet glance
and a giggle or two.

Joy is given
and a blessing received,
time spent is precious -
just Mama and Me.

Kick, kick, kick -
So excited.
A squeal and a grin -
So delighted.

Home again to cuddle.
Home again to play.
Time spent is priceless,
with Papa all day.

The Pumpkin Eating Blues

Sorry, Josefine. That pumpkin is not for eating...

I wanted to take some pictures of my Li'l Pumpkin with a pumpkin the other day (her 4 mo birthday to be exact)...but, all she wanted to do what eat the pumpkin. Poor baby...she got a little frustrated with it. Maybe next year, darlin'.

365 Days of Knowing You

On October 30, 2008 - one year ago today - the stick read "Pregnant"...but, I wasn't soooo sure. I mean, those things aren't foolproof, right? So, I didn't mention it. Not. To. A. Soul. It was one of those "Mary pondered all these things in her heart" moments. So, I pondered and would do another HPT the next day. Of course...it was positive then, too. So, I thought of a special way to tell the Hubs (will post about that one tomorrow).

In light of that...it's been 365 days of knowing Josefine. I mean, we didn't know she was going to be a she. Or that she was going to be a "Josefine." But, we did know that she was going to be.

I can't help but praise God when I think of all the wonder that goes into such a li'l bitty life...and how that life began at conception and has grown, grown, grown into such a precious little bundle that I can cuddle and kiss and love on.

My Josefine.



In other news for the day...

"What just happened???"

4 Mos...yesterday.

Sad. I didn't post on Josefine's 4 month birthday! :( I can't believe it...but, then again, I can. Life has been hectic as of late. I'm sure you'll all forgive me.

Yesterday, Josefine turned 4 mos. And of course, we got our monthly "faces by the clock" pictures and feetsie pictures!
