Go Huskers!

On New Year's Day Josie helped Daddy cheer on the Huskers and it worked! Huskers won 26-21, most likely due to Josie in her Husker gear.

New Year Resolution

Josie has two new year resolutions for 2009. 1. She is working on bringing out her inner clown (hence borrowing Shamrock's wig over Christmas break). 2. She is giving up her most beloved possession... her binky. Not by choice, but mom and dad told her it is time. We are only on day one of a tough road ahead of us. Wish us luck!

Josie is starting the new year off with a large vocabulary, well larger than last year anyways! Here is what Josie can say as of today:
Mommy, Daddy, bye, buddy, ball, Maeve, Jay, baby, belly, girl, fish, duck, peek-a-boo, sad, up, night-night, yes, mine, help, silly, banana, hi, outside, brrr-cold, light, tickle, potty, sock, shoe, sorry, moo, baa, woof, neigh, "sss" for snake, buzz, "eeek" for monkey, "oh-oh-oh" for gorilla, ribbet for frog, growl for tiger, lion, and bear.

Josie's favs to say:
No - favorite word - she says it so matter of fact
Come on - while pulling you
Oh no - hands on cheeks
Where's it at - hands up in the air

She also can do sign language for:
more
help
please
eat
bye
love you
monkey
gorilla
bib
hot
cold
yes
no
up
all done

Merry Christmas!

Josie got to spend Christmas with lots of family. All of which spoiled her rotten. This picture was captured when Josie and big cousin Maeve first saw each other. We said can you give Maeve a hug and Josie screamed "Maeve!" as they both hugged. Afterwards Maeve ran to her mom and whispered, "She said my name!" It was a sweet moment to witness. Hopefully as they grow up the excitement to see each other never changes.
