18 months

On Saturday, Josie turned 18 months old. The months are really starting to fly by and with each month it doesn't seem so monumental anymore, and oppps, I find myself forgetting what month we're on!!! This past week has been so crazy busy between getting back into a work routine, therapy, breaking ground on Mimi and Pop's house, and either a cold or allergies for all of us. I swear it's allergies from all the time we've spent outside this week, but today we're all feeling better.



Now that Josie's 18 months, we can tell she's catching on to things so quickly. She repeats words that she's only heard once or twice, like "moose", for the fuzzy moose we brought her back from Alaska. During tub time she's starting to lay down in the tub on her stomach and back and swim like a fish (thanks to Mimi showing her how!).



I love that we're on the cusp of a new season because that means a whole wardrobe change for JJ! I'm tired of the sweats and fleece jammies and ready to start putting on lighter clothes and searching for the cutest of cutest outfits for the new season. I've had this Matilda Jane outfit in her close for about a year, just waiting for her to fit into it... what a delight today to see how stinkin cute it is!

I feel like we're on the verge of going down to one nap per day, but she's still easily tired in the morning and so we're still doing a two napper day. Today cousin Nate is coming over to play and those two tire each other out, so she's down for a nap now and will be ready to run around when Nate gets here.



And her catch phrase right now is "There it (or he) is!!!" Whether we're playing hide and seek or asking her "where's your cow?" She finds what she's looking for and gleefully exclaims "THERE IT IS!!!". Love it :)
