Lovely Ladylocks

My locks, my lovely lady locks, check it out..I drive the boys crazy, I do it on the daily, dolce and cabanna, Sharyl and Madonna... While Josie's locks may not be gold, they are still lovely. Therefore I bring you the first installment of "Josie's Do's". How many other babies can do hair impersonations?!

The first picture is Josie's imitation of Don King. I think her whole boxing career is really starting to take over her life. Next we have Ace Ventura Josie Detective. Missing burp cloth, lost a diaper, have no fear Josie will solve the case. (We do realize this do is quite similar to the DK do, but her facial expression completely changes the character). Finally we have Josie the lawyer. With three out of five uncles being attorneys she couldn't help but mock them. "Legally, the way I see it, you have three options: feed me, change me, or snuggle me. Which do you choose?"

One Tough Cookie

Since day one Josie has liked to pose with her "guns" flexed and ready to take on any whimpy baby that may cross her path. Yup, she came out of the womb swinging at all the nurses and doctors. That being said, we thought it was time to name her biceps. After much debate and many names thrown out there (Tom & Jerry, Itchy & Scratchy, Touchdown & Jesus), we have decided to name them Mickey and Minnie.

We put on her jogging suit yesterday and she had some practice time. With a little more coaching and packing on the pounds I think she'll be ready for the ring really soon. I can hear the announcer now..."In this corner, weighing nearly 9lbs, Josie the Mighty Mouse Bemis! With her guns of steal, Mickey and Minnie, look out babies there is a new champ in town."

Josie is 6 weeks!

Josie turned 6 weeks on Friday. This picture was taken before we went on a walk that afternoon. Josie loves going on walks (or at least I like taking her on them) and she has been really good about wearing a hat to shade her from the sun (and of course to be a stylish baby!).

We cannot get over how fast the time has flown by. Josie is more alert now and is really starting to take in her surroundings. Billy swears she gets bigger everyday he comes home from work. I stepped on the scale the other day while holding her and she is almost 9lbs!

Josie coos all the time. We like to say "coo coo ca cho miss Josie" or call her a chatty Josie. I am pretty sure she will be a little extrovert like her mommy.
