Labor Day Weekend 2007

We had a big Labor Day weekend this year! Josephine got to spend the night with Grannie and Papaw on Thursday night. I worked on Friday, which was a blast, and so Josephine stayed with Grannie on Friday too. Saturday night we had a football party for the first game of the season. I think there were about 13 of us here. Josephine loved having Naomi and Thaxton here to play with. Luckily she went to bed at her normal time so she wasn't too cranky. : ) On Sunday we had a baby shower for Jane Myers at Calhoun's. Josephine did really well sitting at the restaurant. After we got home from the shower, the Randolph's called to see if we wanted to go to dinner with them. I had no desire to cook, so we met them at Outback. The kids were wonderful. We were there for 2 hours! They were obviously short-handed and were overwhelmed. Afterwards, we went to the Randolph's. Josephine was impressive climbing the ladder and going down the slide all by herself. She wouldn't have done that two weeks ago. Josephine went to play disc golf with Nathan the next morning, too. We took the rest of the day off on Monday. : )

Touchdown!

Jane at 31 weeks -- 9 weeks to go!

Josephine is becoming such a big kid now! She will go up and down the stairs using the handrail now. She only scared me a couple times doing it, although she's never fallen. She is very proud of herself going up and down the stairs, she'll do it over and over. Climbing onto the side of the couch, then jumping onto it is a new thing for Josephine, too. She can even do a somersault onto the couch cushions.

She's stringing two or more words together more often. It's usually "JoJo's" something or other. It's pretty rare that she uses "I, me, or mine" unless it's "I want ...." : ) She'll repeat almost anything you say, when she's in the mood.

I can't think of any other new developments in the past week. We'll be going to Nathan's family reunion this weekend. Josephine and Noami will be spoiled rotten by the end of it! : )
