SNOW

We had a couple of inches of snow this morning. After a couple years with no real snow, it was fun to have some, especially so early in the winter! Josie wasn't too sure about it, though... didn't want to touch it at first. She warmed up to it a little bit, though.

Here's my little nudist, shopping for groceries. Next, putting her diaper on Mr. Potato Head.

PODs

My future spelunker! She ;oved the head lamp, and LOVED admiring herself in the mirror with it on.

Halloween ladybug!

This year, Josie was a ladybug for Halloween. We took her trick or treating for the first time, and she was cute as a button! Amazing how much has changed since she was our little monkey last Halloween. This year, we went to three houses for candy. She got the hang of things really fast, trying to grab everything in the bowl :-) She didn't really want to wear her costume and wouldn't keep the wings on. She has a mind of her own now!! Here are a few pictures.

Words

For posterity, I wanted to write down all the words Josie says now, so that we can look back and see what her first words were. Most of these are "interpreter required", but some sounds clear as day! I think she is going to be really making sense soon.

Family Portrait

We recently had our pictures taken as a family by our friends Jeff and Sally Honeycutt, of Sea Studio Photography . I am absolutely in LOVE with how they turned out! They perfectly capture the rainy pacific northwest feel, and Josie was so cute. I was going to save them to show once we had sent out our Christmas card so it would be a surprise, but then I couldn't resist.
