Photos from new camera

We've been having lots of fun with the new camera, and it definitely takes better photos. It also takes photos more quickly so we can capture those fleeting moments on film - like Josephine in her Phish hat looking completely shocked:
And me doing my best impression of "Josie pose" (she definitely has the widest smile you've ever seen):
And Louie going in for a kiss during his nightly dance with Josie (this time it was to her new favorite thing to watch on tv - the Flaming Lips Halloween concert on DVD):
And, as promised, here's a good one of that sweet little face and those darling baby blues. Really, could she be any more precious?
Lots more photos to come of course. Practice your "ahhhhs." :)

Chillin in her crib - or not

I'm not sure what prompted the change (trust me it was nothing we did), but Josie has totally taken to her crib and has put herself on a pretty predictable nap and bedtime schedule. Wait - scratch that - I wrote that first sentence about an hour ago. Since then, I've been battling getting Josie to take her nap. She's totally eye-rubbing exhausted & simply will not give into sleep. So, chalk this up as another example of "once I think I've got it all figured out, what works totally changes." That said, Josie has slept in her crib the whole night for the last two nights. She wakes up a few times, but settles back down pretty easily with her Nuk and a warm, loving hand on her tummy. Last night she went 8 hours between feedings, which was pretty good. The night before it was only 6. We'll see how it goes again tonight. She definitely likes having more room in the crib. She totally stretches her arms and legs out as wide as she can (just like she does in the bed with Louie and I). With that I've gotta go. I thought the swing would work to get her to sleep, but it clearly isn't. Maybe she's still hungry?! Time for nap time trouble-shooting. Wish us luck.
