What a Week!

This has been a very big week for Josie. First of all she was baptized on Saturday with her pal Lane. She was a trooper, didn't even cry when the holy water was poured over her lovely lady locks. Afterwards we had a big celebration for Josie. 25 people came from near and far for the occassion. Most of her fans came from Omaha, but some came from Chicago, Minnesota, South Dakota, and we can't forget Nate who came from just up the road.

This was also the very first time Josie met her favorite cousin Maeve. They hit it off right away. Maeve loved to hug, pat, and supervise Josie's bath. She was a great big cousin from the start, already picking up things and giving them to Josie and letting everyone know when Josie was sleeping.

The day after the baptism, Lane & Josie had a nice playdate where Josie showed off her mad skills on the catepillar! As you can tell Lane was very impressed.

Finally, Josie's neck is strong enough that she can sit in her bumbo seat...What a week!

Babies Gone Wild

Brody to Marlee: "Look at this little kid, laying down right in the middle of us, who does she think she is?!"



Marlee to Brody: "I dunno but her nose looks so cute, like a little button. Don't you just want to pinch it?"

Josie to Marlee & Brody: "Oh for crying out loud, do you know how hard it is for me to sit up?! And when I do you just leave me here, all alone....I'm lonely. Soooo lonely..."

Omaha, Somewhere in the Middle of America

Josie vacationed in Omaha for the past week. She has not been there since she was the wee age of 7 days old, so she had plenty of friends and family to catch up with. It was a fun packed week of pooping on Aunt Kathy, cooing at the Grandma's, admiring ceiling fans everywhere, as well as sleeping 5 hour stretches at night (Mom and Dad say THANK YOU JOSIE!).

One of the finer moments was when Josie got to put on her bikini and go for her first dip at the Constantino house. We spent about 1 hour gearing up for the big moment that lasted about 15 minutes. Deciding what beach towel matches her swimsuit, finding her sunglasses, sun hat, sunscreen, binky, OK here we come Pool! As you can tell Josie didn't want the moment to end.

Life in the fast Lane

Josie had her 1st "date" with her new boyfriend Lane. Billy thought it was imperative that he introduce himself to this young lad early on. "Lane, you will know me as Josie's Father" he said in his most intimidating voice possibly. Lane just smirked. Josie simply grabbed Lane by the hair and said "Hey...you're my man and you're coming with me!"

Josie and Lane are already working on possible Halloween costumes. Some ideas include Little Miss Piggy and Kermit, Norbit and Rasputia (no we didn't actually watch this movie...) or Lafonda and Kip (yes we did see this movie).
