This lady is growing up so fast. She so much happier then she used to be. We are still working on gaining weight, we have been going to a new doctor and trying some new things. She has finally passed 10 lbs. She is doing a little better in the car and is sleeping really good through the night. She has started giggling a lot, loves to bath, and loves to talk.
This is the look I get when I think it's time for bed and she obviously doesn't.

Usually Josie wakes up crying. Today after her nap I heard her talking so I went in to get her and she was having a great time. She woke up, rolled over, and was so happy. I hope this becomes a regular pattern. (She can only roll from her tummy to her back. We are still working on the other direction.)


I'm super productive or at least I have been this week. Dean helped me move everything out of the basement in our old house. He complained for a few days but finally I he did it. He didn't want it in the house because he was afraid of this.

I needed it all in the house so I could go through it. Then I needed to clean out our current basement, it is awful and its not our stuff so its an awkward situation. The mess upstairs was the perfect motivation for me to clean the downstairs.
This...

turned into this...

I asked Dean to help me with some things while cleaning out the basement, and carry the boxes down. I was really really nice because I could see him being a little bothered. We both went down stairs and I told him the plan and gave him some instructions. He looked at me and asked, "Is this really a BOY job." Instantly he knew that was the wrong thing to say. Not only is the stuff I asked him to bring down OURS, but the stuff that is in the basement presently is heavy, dirty, and HIS families. I can't think of how it could be more a BOY job. After I had explained that to him he was a VERY good helper. I did the organizing and cleaning (the GIRL job), He did the lifting and moving (the BOY job), and now we are both very glad the job is done.

Happy Birthday Dean!!!
Dean is a great Dad, he is a fabulous husband, and our very best friend. Josie and I love this boy so much. Dean got an ipod touch for his birthday, and I'm a little jealous. Not because I want one but of his attention. Now each night we read scriptures on the ipod, not because its more convenient just because he thinks it cool. Dean loves KSL classifieds I don't know why it must be a man thing, even though the pictures are bite size he browses the classifieds on the ipod instead of the computer. I complain now because he uses it to much, but in a month I will probably complain that it was expensive and he never uses it.


I started giving this little lady cereal, she loves it. I give her a bite and then she puts her hands in her mouth as fast as she can. I don't know if she just needs something more to chew on or if she is just excited. Then she takes her hands out I give her more and she does it again. I love her.

So, so cute. I love the new food stage. The "I am tired but she is not" stage never goes away. Most nights Maddie finds an extra dose of energy around 9:00 p.m. Then she wants to talk about everything. I am glad she is doing better and I am so happy that you have changed Dr.'s Love you all....

I love her. I can't wait to squeeze her little self. I was cracking up at the boy/girl jobs. I can not believe you actually got it done. That is amazing! It looks so good. So I am sure she just wants a little something more to chew on. The lady wants to be grown up. I can see the vigor in her eyes. Happy Birthday Dean. You are AWESOME!! Cool that you got an IPod touch. Mike would love one. Maybe when you quit using it... he could:)

Spencer does the same thing with his fist-still! Except now that he has teeth he seems to bite himself everytime, so silly!
She is adorable!

I'll agree with you the ksl classifieds are a man thing. I'm not even sure why some things are worth looking at for 30 seconds let alone 30 minutes!
