One Month Old!

With Eddie it seemed like a longer month. This one flew by. Here she is one month after she was born. This first shot is almost exactly one month.

I can't figure out his scheme, but every now and then, Eddie will want to hold Josie. He also has ideas about who should hold her at other times. He is a good big brother, he holds on super tight so she doesn't fall. It's really cute and makes for some funny pictures.

It's the shorts that make this an unflattering photo for me, but everyone else looks good and we're all looking at the camera.

Josie seems to be able to see farther away and we've gotten the ocassional smile out of her. She bats at the animals on her activity mat (has been for a couple weeks). She is still a happy, but gasey baby. She is also starting to hold her head for 15 seconds or so and in the bath, her head doesn't wobble around like a bobblehead, but pretty much stays up.

Eddie is changing at lightening speed. He has memorized so many books and picks out the same 5 books for me to read him each night. Cookie says he is playing with the other kids that they visit with during the day and not just parallel play. He knows a lot of his letters and can easily count to 14.

Den is leaving on his first work trip on Wed. --he'll be gone just one night--barely over 24 hours and Cookie is going to stay overnight with me as stairs are still an obstacle for me and Ed is a little heavy for me to pick up. She is great.
