Josie is getting bigger and bigger by the day. Sometimes I look at her and I don't even see the tiny newborn anymore! Her cheeks have taken on a life of their own, and she has outgrown all her tiny newborn sized clothes.We have had a few new challenges in the past week. She has been fussier than usual, especially in the evening, in preparation for her amazing new skill: smiling! I have tried and tried to capture it on camera and haven't gotten any really great ones, but today I got a few smaller smiles. I'm sure I'll have lots more opportunities to try! The greatest thing is when she cracks a huge smile and her dimples show. She also does a crazy laugh sort of sound where she sucks in her breath really quick, especially when she is playing with Eric.
Another exciting development- longer sleep stretches! Last night was an all time record of 5 hours of solid sleep. The night before she did just over 4 hours, and she has made it to almost 4 several times in the last week or two. Yippee! The only unfortunate thing is that she often wants to be awake after her longest stretch, which usually falls around 3 or so in the morning. But we're making progress towards better night time sleep, which is a relief.

Those pictures are the cutest ever! That hat is so darling! She is looking so much more awake and aware. I can't wait to see you guys again! Glad the sleep is getting better too--hurray for longer stretches!
Beautiful Josie smiles... We need some more pictures on facebook too.
