There is no place...

Like Nebraska! Good ol' Nebraska youuuuuuu!

Seeing how the weather nearly hit 50 degrees, which is something we have not experienced in a really long time, we decided we should get bundled up and go for a little walk around the neighborhood. Josie starred at my hat and reached for it any time I was in front of the stroller. So when we got home and she finally was able to pull it off my head it was such a victory in her eyes.

Maybe it was her way of saying she missed everyone in Omaha?

Anchors away!*

This morning Josie had her 1st swim lesson. She did awesome. While she seemed a little apprehensive of the water at first she was cool and calm the whole time. She loved playing with the balls and jumping in from the side. She was't too keen about floating on her back. We are taking her every Saturday for the next month so we will keep all of the Josie fans out there updated!

*This title is a shout out to Josie's good friend Nikki... It is not in reference to Navy finally beating Notre Dame (a dark day in the Bemis household).

7 months!

It's hard to believe it, but on the 8th Josie turned the big 7...months that is! She sits up on her own very well. She rolls from her back to tummy, but hasn't figured out how to return onto her back. She loves eating vegetables and fruit, and reaches for everything!

Happy 7 Months Josie!

Josie's posse

Josie has made some good friends in the first 7 months of her life. Her BFF Marlee turned one. As you can tell neither were too keen on the party hats. The weekend prior they just chilled in a chair gossiping as best friends do. On Friday Josie showed the tom boy side of her while hanging out with her buddies Lane and Carter.

Shhh...

Josie has a new "trick". When I am talking and she would like to steal the stage she likes to put her chubby cheeks over my lips to stop me from babbling. Billy once said he has to fight for air time, so I think Josie thought she'd help him out.

No more rat tail...

Josie was very proud of the rat tail she has been growing since birth. It was a whole 4 strains long! Unfortunately when Aunt Terri got her hands on it, it was adios Mr. rat tail. Josie has not had her first bonifide hair cut. So her nice comb over was left untouched (phew).
