6 weeks--the milestone

6 weeks is one of those big milestones in my book. I had my follow-up apt, during which the doctor said all that overdoing it wasn't going to kill me and everything looked great. Josie is going through her 6 week growth spurt and is eating like she's not sure when her next meal will come. She can hold her head up for 10-15 seconds. She isn't smiling quite to the degree that her brother did, but she does reward her parents with the ocassional grin.

This picture above was not staged in the least. Cookie happened to be holding her and she was doing all this stuff, trying to hold her head up and moving around when I walked in the room and so I grabbed the camera. All these photos are from yesterday.

We were trying to get Eddie to hold Josie, which wasn't hard, but holding her so we could see her face and get him looking at the camera was a little difficult. He cooperated for a long time and then got more interested in his beach ball and base balls.


I'm sure you've heard of green eggs and ham. When I was in kindergarden, the teacher made us green eggs and ham and I thought it was the greatest thing. We made Eddie blue applesauce, because he asked us. We told him it was special and that he couldn't get it all the time. Well, of course he then asked for it in another color. It looked a little green in this photo.

Eddie's last day of preschool is today. I'm shaking in my boots for Tues. and Fri. And I'm definitely asking myself why we didn't sign up for the summer session that ends in June. Oh, that's right, we thought we'd be traveling....ha ha ha.
