Lots of fun things are going on with Josie and I lately, I'll try to go in chronological order.
I left you last with a mini-vacation with Pop Pop and Grandma Debbie. Josie was a doll the whole time and had a blast in the pool. Here are some pictures:

We decided Josie needed some exercise and got her a jumperoo. She cries when I take her out of it. One day she's going to jump through the ceiling.
And on March 16th she turned Four Months. I cannot believe it's been so long since we brought her home.
At her 4 month appointment she was 24 1/2 inches and 13 lbs 5 oz.
We are working on helping her sit and vocalizing. She does not stop talking in the morning and before bed. Her favorite sounds are "ah-goo" "oooh" and "gah gah". It is so fun to encourage her to talk. I read once that you aren't supposed to talk to them in "baby language" but she stops talking once I speak real words to her. I talk to her all day long so I don't think it will hurt her.
We have also been working on teaching her signs for words we use often. So far it's "Up", "Milk" and "mama". She is starting to lift her arms when we say and sign up. She doesn't seem to care about the others. There are a lot more signs I should be teaching her but I have trouble remembering them myself, even though they are so simple.
We are definitely in the midst of teething, it feels like it's been over a month. She is constantly attacking any soft toy we give her and loves to gnaw on fingers. Her ability to grip teething toys and small things is really developing well. It's been amazing to see her able to grasp smaller and smaller items each day.
That's what it's all about!
