Holy Molars! (and More)

First, let me explain that subject line. Just when I almost had myself fooled that Josie was still counted as my "baby," she went and sprouted to great big giant MOLARS! What? There's no looking back now - I've got a KID on my hands (although we will call her "Baby Josie" until she begs us to stop).

Okay, now to catch you up on the past week. First and foremost, I GOT TO SEE BABY LYLA AGAIN! Here are proud mommy Manda, Lyla and I...
My mom spent the week with the "Three Austins" to help them out & my daddy-o graciously offered to swing by Cincy to pick me up so I could ride with him to Chicago to pick up my mom (did you follow that). Anyway, it was a very short trip - right about 24 hours - but well worth it for the view alone - Friday night also went down as my second night away from Josephine since she stayed home with her daddy instead of making the road trip. Just to note: my first night away from her was the night my sister was in labor. It's amazing how much I miss Louie & Josie even when I'm just away for a day.

Back in Cincy Saturday night and a fun week around the house. Here are some fun moments from the week...

Josie getting cozy in a new seat she found (the rice drawer in our pantry)...
Josie striking her best pose in her fun poncho from her Great-Uncle Denny and cousins Sam & Katie in England (and of course her rainbow legwarmers from last year)...
Josie carrying the diaper bag around the house (all morning long)...
And now for some videos!
Here is Josie creating her first masterpiece with the cool crayons that her little friend Maya got her for her first birthday. She had so much fun doing this that we've created more drawings every day since this one...

Here is a video of our big girl Josie feeding herself Oatmeal with a spoon. Of course she got tired of the whole spoon thing about the same time I grabbed the camera, but that just makes it even more funny if you ask me...

And finally, here are some of Josie's favorite animal noises. You'll have to trust me that there is usually a bigger difference between the sounds, but she had a mouthful of oatmeal and I just filmed it "on the fly" because she normally won't do it for the camera at all. Enjoy...
