Jonesin' for Josie

After such a long time of no pictures, I've got a whole bunch coming. Now if I could only catch up in printing them...Ed has started requesting printed pictures, similar to the one of daddy in the bullet train, so I need to get crankin'.

Josie is really enjoying her jumper chair and still loves bath time. When we used this blue one, she always seemed to try and slide down, so we've now (as of a couple nights ago) switched her to the larger inflatable one we take on trips. Interestingly she freaks when it's in the big bathtub, but is fine when it's on the kitchen counter. Whatever works.

Here Ed is feeding her peas and then below Den is feeding her carrots. She's doing well with the food, but not to get too detailed, her body is having some trouble adjusting to solids and we've had to load up on the apple juice, applesauce, fiber and have a couple sleepless nights while she writhes in pain. Ugh. The ugly side of babyhood.

We think we've passed by the initial bowel problems and now we are dealing with not only wanting just mommy, but wanting to sleep with mommy. Right now, as I type this, she is screaming her guts out. And that's while Den holds her. I really don't know how he is able to hold her while she screams. It's not like she has colic or something and we know her digestive tract is back to work. Den suspects she is at this point just pist that we let her cry for 20 minutes. And as Cookie says, she wants what she wants and she'll hold out til she gets it. Can't wait for the teenage years (and better yet, the preteen years).

I have some more recent photos of Josie to post, but still catching up...
