Seven Months Old

Joslyn is seven months now... well she was a week ago...

She loves to explore now. She used to only want to roam around the room that we were in, but now the whole house is her new adventure. I usually just close all the doors to the bedrooms and bathrooms and let her go where she wants. She loves it when we get down and crawl around with her.

She also loves sweet potatoes, carrots, applesauce, peaches and she is starting to like bananas. She still is not fond of peas, but she will eat them.

She loves to smile and look at pictures. She also LOVES remotes, cell phones, cameras... basically anything that she isn't supposed to have.

She is also starting to regrow the hair on the back of her head, so maybe some day soon she will have a cute little bow tied in it.

Here are some pictures that we took of her.

Peeking Out

Since learning how to pull herself up, Joslyn can't seem to stop. Not even in the middle of the night! Of course, she can't get down so she starts screaming and Patrick or I have to go rescue her... Another joy of parenthood...

It is so cute in the morning to go in and see her peeking over/under the railing with a HUGE smile on her face.







She is also pulling herself up on anything else she can. Since she won't sit on her own, she kneels.

Snuggles

For those that don't know, Joss is by far, NOT a snuggly baby. In fact, usually when you try to give her a hug, she squirms away and loudly protests and I mean LOUDLY. :(

This is sad for me because I always pictured having a beautiful little baby to snuggle and hold. This is also good though. Mainly, because she isn't constantly wanting me to hold her, which would drive me crazy!

Anyway, this week she has been teething and therefore not sleeping very well. (At least that is my guess as to why she is staying up an hour or two later, waking up an hour earlier AND trying to shorten her naps.) Since she isn't feeling well and is very tired she lets me snuggle with her! Which makes me happy. I miss when she was a newborn and I could cuddle with her all day long if I wanted.

Taking a Stand

Joslyn has learned to pull herself up to standing now. Now, I find her standing in the crib, on the couch, sucking on our shelves. She's everywhere!

Unfortunately, with this standing comes falling. Joss hasn't learned that she can bend and so she falls backward like a tree getting cut down.

She is growing so fast these days. It's like every three days she is hitting another milestone. Maybe one day it will be sitting on her own.... She still isn't doing that, but she is getting A LOT closer. That should help her to loose that timber effect... :)

Parking Lot Surprises

The other day, Patrick and I went shopping at Costco for a few things. When we went to pull into our parking space, there was a cart at the front of it, so I got out and moved it for us. To my surprise I see this sitting in the seat of the cart.



It was brand new. Still in the packaging and sealed! Also there were two brand new dvds.

I am amazed that someone could spend HUNDREDS of dollars on something just to leave it sitting there in the cart and drive away! Are you kidding me?

Luckily, for them, and for us, we are honest people and we took it to the customer service desk and whoever left it can claim it there.

So, if you left your brand new i-pod touch in your shopping cart at the Costco on 79th Ave Monday afternoon, you know where you can get it.

Hilarious Video

This video makes me laugh every time I see it.

Joslyn has learned to make fake gagging noises and this is what I get to listen to all afternoon. This is also how she tells me she is awake in the mornings.

Crawling

Our little girl has learned how to crawl. For the most part she still army crawls, but she is getting faster.
