Toothies!

We are currently in Portland enjoying the last days of our Christmas vacation before we head back to Seattle. There will be lots of great Christmas photos uploaded soon!
Today I wanted to record the appearance of Josie's first teeth for posterity. Her first tooth (left lower front) appeared on 12/21. The right lower one followed about a week later. Six and a half months... pretty much right on time! Now the left one is a really sharp little ridge and the right one is making itself felt, too. Her smile is going to look a lot different.
Tomorrow- New Year's Eve- Josie will be seven months old! Happy New Years!

Josie swings!

Today I took Josie for a ride on the swings at the park for the first time. She wasn't too sure what to think... but I did get a few grins.

Christmas Tree

I have been looking high and low for a tiny tree in a pot for our christmas tree this year. Today I found one just down the street at our neighborhood nursery! Poor Josie won't put down her frozen teether even for a photo op. Cute tree, eh? Just her size. Tonight we decorate!

Attack Josie

Josie is teething. Today when she was giving us some big grins we noticed that we can see two little white teeth shining below the surface of her gums. This video is a demonstration of how she is coping with her teething pain!

Baby knits

Here are some photos of my recent knitting projects that I finally finished! I started the little pink baby shrug in the middle of my pregnancy ... but have only recently been able to pick up my needles again. The vest I made because it's been cold lately, and I wanted Josie to have a cute extra layer. I'm not an expert and it takes me a long time to finish things, but I have to say I am proud of these two cute little garments.

Pictures of the Day

Those smiles are for you, Eric! I hope you are having a good day at work. Love you!
