Valentine's Day 2007

Josephine had a good Valentine's Day this year. She spent the afternoon with Granna while Mom had a root canal done (no comments, please). We went to the Little Gym that evening where she wet her pants then later on fell and took off a scab on her nose. (She fell on the driveway nose-first on Tuesday.) We spent about a quarter of the class in the bathroom. She had fun otherwise, though. Grannie and Papaw stopped by on their search for a restaurant. We all went to Chili's afterward. Here are some pictures of Josephine on Valentine's Day and her scraped nose.

Naomi played with us Sunday night. She's sitting up and getting ready to crawl now. She and Josephine played well together. Josephine's not quite as aggressive with her love as she has been. Plus, Naomi is getting more sturdy.


Josephine loved the ribbon that came with her present from Grannie (a book). She's been wearing it as a necklace ever since.


Naomi at 8 1/2 months. She and Josephine had a bath and I apparently didn't brush her hair the right way when it was still wet. It usually lays over the side instead of looking like an onion sprout. It's very cute, though. : )

Josephine Update:

JOSEPHINE FINALLY SAID "MOM"! She won't say it on a regular basis, but she finally said it. Days before saying "mom" she said "yellow", "blue", and "red". The first two she said perfectly, but "red" was a little harder to understand. Weird, huh? And, yes, she knows all three of those colors.

• Josephine drank from a straw last night. We've been trying to get her to do that for a long time.
• Josephine will shake you hand now if you ask her to. She's been giving high-fives for a long time, but Nathan taught her to shake people's hand.
• Other colors she knows (other than red, blue, and yellow) are brown and black. Sometimes green.
• Josephine can moo when she sees a cow. She can also make the sheep, goat, and horse sounds. She tries to make a god sound, but not it doesn't come out right.
• Josephine has a new face she makes. It's very similar to a fish-face, but only with the top lip. It's very cute.
