Good times

It takes a lot of partying to get this passed out (I love how one leg is out; Look closely to see the Nuk tucked away under her left arm) - The older Josie gets; the more fun we're all having. And all our antics definitely wear her out. Now that she's a sturdy little lady, we can engage in crowd-pleasers like "Daddy's Silly Socks" (Lou was wiggling his toes & singing a little song and she was cracking up) -
Other favorites include, "Daddy Belly Ride" -
And of course "Super Baby" never disappoints -
With all the fun we have with Josie, you'd think we would never leave the house (okay, so we rarely do), but the annual Kohnen & Patton Christmas Party got us out of our "comfy clothes" and into adult attire. (I had to resist the urge to wear a burp cloth on my shoulder. And it just felt too strange to carry a cocktail purse instead of a diaper bag.) So, here we are all gussied up -
Another week has passed & Josie continues to change more every day. It's certainly a busy time of year, but we're trying to enjoy every minute of it. We still don't have a Christmas tree (maybe one day without rain would change that) and of course we aren't finished shopping yet. We do have a whole list of things that we want to get Josie for her first Christmas (again, it's okay to do at least half of the things you swore you would never do as a parent). Really, we're just stuck on the fact that it's mid-December and Josie is already four months old. We even moved the co-sleeper away from our bed today, so Josie will have her first night on the other side of the room (which will probably be worse for us than her as evidenced by the fact that we both cried as we detached it & Josie didn't bat an eye). With that, it's pushing 9pm & the little lady needs nursed down to sleep. She just watched the 49ers score against the Bengals and decided it wasn't worth staying up any later to watch football.

Oh - our Christmas cards went out yesterday. :)
