Eight Months
Has it really been eight months? These have been the best months of my life and they seem to just get better. I am still in shock that she is really our little girl. She has such a fun personality and is really beginning to grow into "herself." Everyone tells us that she is such a happy child. Her smile will light up the room and that little giggle makes everything ok. She is around 21 pounds and 30 inches or so (I need to measure her again). Eating Cheerios, mashed potatoes, carrots, and anything else she can get to her mouth. She has not mastered the sippy cup and would rather drink out of MY cup. Still not crawling but she is on the fast track to walking. She pulls up on everything and wants to stand
all the time. She LOVES her walker and is our little shadow. I have learned the hard way not to leave anything in her reach or she will grab, pull and eat it!
She is learning all kinds of new sounds including her favorite, the high pitch scream followed by her "demon" voice.
Josie will let anyone hold her and loves to be held upside down (which usually leads to her spitting up). With her two teeth and counting (the third is getting ready to break through) she will bite and hold on now!
She still LOVES bathtime which is really fun for both of us now. She can make waves, eat bubbles, splash (A LOT), chew on her ducks, play peak-a-boo with the washcloth, do the back stroke AND she happens to get clean while she's in there. Anther things she seems to really enjoy is when she is
sitting down and we cover and uncover her with the blanket - the faster you do it the more she laughs (and the more static she gets in her hair which makes me laugh). She loves to be outside and tries to see everything around her at one time while consuming as much grass and dirt as possible! She has all of us wrapped around her little finger and lovingevery moment!

Chiro
Josie went to the see Dr. Fleshood today! This is her second chiropractic adjustment (first one she was about 3 weeks old)-and she still likes him! Don't let the metal instrument scare you - it is NOT a needle!
Working Hard
Josie had us working hard on Friday!
Uncle John let's her do whatever she wants!
Amanda keeps Josie busy - before long she will be filing!
See - Uncle John even lets her wear his hat!

Bringing Home the Silver!
Sunday was a busy day! We all attended Avery, Angie & Eliza's birthday party at Richard's house and then we went to Emporia to Pooles Fox Pen for Kevin's foxhounds three day field trial awards. All dressed in her camo that her Dad bought her Josie was ready for the hunt! And guess what - Dad's dog won!!!
Ready for the party!
Hanging with Dad waiting for the awards ceremony....
And the winner is.....Stone's Mill Cash - CHAMPION!The "trophy" is a silver punch bowl - and we put Josie in it!
How cute is she?????
Seven Months
OK - I admit, I am LATE on the seven month update - but I took these pictures to use for Kevin's Dad's birthday and didn't want him to see them before....so anyway - she's a big girl!!! Weighing in at 22 pounds and30 inches long, Josie is all Walker! We are having so much fun! She is trying to walk and really not interested in crawling - she is doing the"rocking" but has only actually moved once. She is pulling up on 
everything and gets MAD when she wants to stand and can't. She is running in her walker and LOVES it! She follows us everywhere (except on the carpet)! She has two teeth and knows how to use them! Food is her friend - she will eat anything and is beginning to use a sippy cup - sorta! The pacifier has gotten better and worse all at the same time - she doesn't want it during the day but naps and bedtime she now has three....one in each hand and one in her mouth. She says Dadadadadada all them time and will throw a Mama in there every now-and-then. She is beginning to wave and say (what we are convinced) bye-bye. She hugs and snuggles up and loves to pull hair! She is full of personality. Everyday there is something new and fun! It is going by so fast - and we are loving every moment!Thursday, March 01, 2007
Birthday Lunch for Elsie
Josie attended Elsie Well's 92nd (I think) birthday party on Feb 20th and got to meet Mark and Jenny Warren's little man Tucker - he's a cutie!!!
Mark and Kevin telling baby stories - why does the saying "been farming long" cross my mind??
The next generation of Gill girls - Emma Thomas (Leslie's daughter) was at the party too!!! Gill Girl's
We had a full house Feb 17th! The Gill's from Charlotte came up for a visit. Thold and Ruth Ellen's girls Laura, Catherine, and Caroline are so much fun! Josie was the center of attention and enjoyed every moment. She was in someone arms all weekend. I have watched these girls grow up over the years and now they will watch my daughter grow. I was Caroline's age when SHE was born and now she is holding my little girl! I am so glad Josie will have these beautiful, strong, Gill girls to look up to!
Caroline has the magic touch!
Josie held on to Laura all weekend - they were fast friends!
Catherine is the perfect size to help Josie learn how to walk! Cat was so patient with Josie!
Hite Boys
Haynie and Jennifer Lee Hite and their three boys spent the weekend with us Feb-2nd-4th...it was so fun to have all of them with us! (picture Ridley, Josie, Issac, Maben)Thanks to the boys, Josie learned how to turn over and over and over during the weekend! Her teeth broke through that weekend too,though I don't think that has anything to to the boys.
Riley and Josie hit it off a little too well (haha) Sunday morning, I got Josie and brought her in our room and put her in the bed with Kevin while I got in the shower. Riley ran in our room, and sneaked on my side of the bed and
said, "Hey, Kevin, where's the girl?"

Beautiful Little Girl
I love these pictures! Spectrum Photography rocks! These are her six month pictures - isn't she a beautiful little girl?! Aunt Janice gave her the little outfit which makes it even more special! And since bath time is her favorite time right now - the bath scene is perfect for her, right down to the bubbles on her hand!

Super Bowl Sunday
Josie was undecided on who to pull for so she went for a neutral team "Uncle JF"
This is the tee-shirt that I made before Josie was born to tell JF we were pregnant - she looks cute in it doesn't she! And Uncle JF likes it too!

Happy Birthday Great Grandma!
Party time at Mama Walker's! The Walker family gathered for a birthday party for Mama Walker... and Josie was the center of attention for the little girls! Of course Josie was more concerned about her shoe than anything else!I love that Josie is going to grow up with so many other little girls....it's so special!
