Megan's Wedding

My sister Megan was married over the weekend! She was a gorgeous bride, and the ceremony was beautiful. Little Peter was a ring bearer, and he looked so cute! It was a very fun wedding. Josephine did great, and we all had a wonderful time! Congratulations Megan and Jason!

Ten Months Old!

Dear Josephine,

How is it possible that you are 10 months old? Time goes by so fast, and every month you change so much! Here's what you are up to:

You are moving like crazy and getting into everything! You crawl very fast now. You also pull yourself up to tables, chairs, and pretty much anything you can stand by! You love to stand up, and you have very strong legs! You can also get yourself down from a standing position. You love going up steps, and you are very fast!

You love to clap, wave, and do "So Big!" You are a sweet baby, and you have such a fun personality! You like it when we sing songs with you, and you try to sing along. You've also started to dance. We love every minute that we spend with you!

You love to eat lots of different food, and you prefer to feed yourself. You love all kinds of fruits and vegetables. You also love cheese, toast, waffles, and yogurt. You're still breastfeeding, also. You are still an awesome sleeper, and we are so thankful! You sleep 12-13 hours straight through at night and take two naps a day. You still just have your bottom two teeth, but your top two teeth are very close to poking through.

You like to go places. You are very good, but it's getting harder and harder to contain you anywhere! You'll sit in the restaurant highchairs, but not for too long! You like to try to talk and sing, and you love to say "Dada!"

You are a little peanut! You are 17 pounds and 6 ounces (about the 10th percentile) and 28 inches long (about the 50th percentile). You wear size 4 diapers, and size 9 month and 12 month clothes. You can still wear 9 mo. tops, but most of the pants are too short on you. Your hair is growing and getting thicker, so we can now put bows and clips in it! It's so much fun!

You love being outside, so we try to go for walks and spend time outside. We have lots of fun things planned for the summer!

We thank God for you everyday, Josephine! You are such a gift, and we love being your parents! We're convinced that you are the sweetest, smartest, cutest baby ever! :)

Love you!

Mommy and Daddy

Mother's Day

I had a fabulous Mother's Day! It's hard to believe that last year I was pregnant with Josephine, and now she is almost ten months old! She is such a precious baby, and I am so blessed to be her mother!

On Sunday we went to church and then spent the day together. Ryan and Josephine got me a beautiful necklace, flowers, and chocolates! We also had a very nice dinner together.

On Saturday, we went to visit the Grandmas. First we saw Ryan's mom, and then we went to visit my mom. Unfortunately, Peter was in the hospital, so we had to see my mom there. Peter was discharged the following day though, so we're very thankful for that! Here's Jojo with her Grandma Mary, Grandma Jean, and Auntie Maria. Happy Mother's Day!
