Easter Egg Hunts 2007

Josephine will sometimes let me put her hair in "sprouts".

Easter weekend was a big event for Josephine. She got to go on two different Easter Egg hunts! Sunday morning after church the Grannie, Papaw, and Uncle Terry came over for lunch. After lunch and a nap, we went over to Granna's for dinner. Josephine went on an Easter egg hunt with her cousin Blair. She really got into it. She got excited seeing the different colored eggs in the grass. Once she found all the eggs, she would go up to different clumps of grass looking for more. : ) On Monday, Grannie hosted an Easter eggs hunt party for Josephine and her friends. It was so cold outside the she hid the eggs downstairs, but the kids didn't mind. There were eggs "hidden" all over the room. Leave it to Josephine, she ignored all of the normal eggs and went straight for the soccer-ball-print egg first, passing all the others by. She took it back to her basket then found the second soccer-ball-print eggs. There weren't any more of those left so she sought out the baseball-print egg. Silly girl. Once there were no more sports-themed eggs she got "normal eggs". All the kids had a good time.

Josephine has been a Mother Hen with her eggs. She loves dumping them out and putting them back in the basket one at a time, then dumping them out again, etc. She pitched a fit one night when it was time for bed and she couldn't play with them anymore. It was pitiful.

Josephine is getting 4 teeth right now. I think. She's definitely getting two of her lower molars. I think she's also getting the last of her front eight teeth. She's been teething for a couple months straight now. She's handled it well. Although she has been biting more lately.

Josephine knows the signs for (or at least has her own signs for) please, more, help, and eat/hungry. She will say "Mom" and "more", but they come out sounding the same. She uses "Mom" as a curse word when she's upset and "more" when she wants something.

Swimming is going well now. Josephine enjoys the water and is more comfortable with her surroundings. She loves "jumping" off the side (she sits down and falls into my arms). We're having trouble getting her to blow bubbles in the water. She just drinks it.
