How amazing is it that in one year they go from this.....
to this.
Seems they adapt to the world pretty quickly.
She is so much fun. I took her a week or so ago to get pictures done in Maggie's first birthday dress and she did much better for them than she had at home.
We also let her dive into her first bit of cake. She enjoyed messing in it more than the eating of it.
Josie has been such a blessing to our family this past year. I cannot imagine our lives without her in it. She is not walking yet, but is definetly cruising around furniture when she feels like it. Tonight we gave her a little bit of the cake I am making her for her party this weekend. We sang happy birthday to her which she totally loved. Maggie and I sang to her this morning when we got her out of her bed and she danced and clapped her hands then as well.
As you can tell, she is a fan of the chocolate cake. She was so excited and everytime we'd say, "Josie's the birthday girl" she would crack up laughing.
She was supposed to have her 1 year check up today but after I got to Louisville I found out the office was closed because of the snow/ice storm and their electric being out. So we spent the day with our friends Sheila, Isaac, Nicole and Julia which was alot of fun. Sheila introduced Josie to oranges which she absolutley loved. We are just going to get ready for her party tommorow. I have a cake to make and we are going to all have to make the trip to the grocery store tommorow since I was too tired to get out tonight and go.
Here are the pictures from our photo shoot that went well. If you got a birthday mailer from Josie you have seen these....if not enjoy!! (Maggie was the reason for all the smiling and hand clapping) Maggie can have Josie cracking up in seconds. I LOVE watching the two of them interact.
Happy Birthday to my perfect little Josie!!! We love you!
