Josalyn

5 Months
What?
I guess since I am still stuck in July the idea that this little girl is 5 months old is hard for me to wrap my brain around too, but alas she is.

Though small in size she has taken over this family and changed our hearts. It is amazing how much love she has brought into our home. Not that we didn't have any before I guess we just didn't realize how much more would come just by having her here. She is the soft spot in everyone heart. We all can be grouchy and grumpy with each other....not that we ever are....but as soon as anyone sees Josalyn it is all smile and laughter. No one can be grouchy when she is around. I love that she has that effect on everyone.

She still is a tiny thing. Only weighing in at 13 lbs. but she has a ton of personality and smiles for all. She loves to play. I have been trying snuggle her a lot and carry her around in my sling but she will just whine and moan until I but her in her bouncy seat and then she sits and plays with her toys contently. I am getting the message. Toys are way more fun than me. She isn't the only one who thinks that.


She has lots of nicknames: Josy Bean, Josi, Joe, Joe-Joe, Ho Jo, and most recently when Kate discovered that baby Kangaroos are called joeys she started calling her Joey and now are all called Mom Kangaroo, Daddy Kangaroo, etc. It was fun to see her put that together.

Anyway Joe we love you and love having you here but please stop growing!
