Josie is 16 Months

My sweet and happy little girl is another month older. This was a fairly uneventful (though extremely busy) month in terms of new things going on with Josie. We are so thankful that Josie has a healthy month!

So sweet when she sleeps. 

Josie loves when we go outside to play. She always ends up climbing onto the porch and crawling over to the table and chair set we have. She loves to cruise and crawl around to the different chairs. 

Happy little girl

Playing in Sophie's room is part of the girls' bedtime routine. Josie enjoys pulling books off of the bookshelf, as well as playing in the ball tent. I love watching the girls play around with each other before they go to bed. They are so cute together. 

I have to put rubber bands around these cabinet doors because Josie constantly tries to open them up. 

Sitting on a chair like a big girl!

This is how we shop with the girls. 

Normally Josie gets nervous around people she doesn't really know and clings to myself or Joe. We had some friends over one night and Josie practically jumped out of my arms so she could get to Nick. I was shocked! She has met him a few times but I didn't think she remembered him. She snuggled up with him for a few minutes before coming back to me.  

Josie had a blast crawling around in the trampoline at my sister's house! We are going to have to start letting her crawl around in the one at our house. 

Big girl in her big car seat!

Sophie loves her sister. 

Josie playing outside. Her favorite thing to do out there is to put rocks, mulch, dirt, and sidewalk chalk in her mouth. Yuck!

Suckers are delicious and sticky.

I love how happy my girl is. 

Hot days require time in the baby pool. Josie enjoyed crawling in and out of it and splashing around. 

We spent some time at a local church summer kick-off. 

Beautiful! I love her dark eyes!
(Don't worry, we always buckle her up. This was after we arrived home and I was about to take her out of the car.)
