The only thing that I did not get to do this week, was to go see Stratton cheer at her first pep rally in high school. My mommy thought it would be best not to expose me to any colds, etc. But my mommy went and took this picture of Stratton with Lindsay and Alexa. Go Tigers!

Guess what? We had another birthday. This time it was my Nonnie's birthday. She sings to me and talks to me all the time. I love her so much. Happy Birthday, Nonnie! I love you the mostest!!!!

Wow! We've had a busy week. Monday night, my daddy wasn't feeling so good because of a 'bo bo' on his arm, so my mommy decided they needed to be safe and go to the emergency room. Instead of me going too, my mommy and daddy thought that it would be best if I stay with LouLou and Paul. My mommy and daddy didn't get home until late and yes, they let me spend the night with LouLou and Paul ... all night. I was a big girl. The next morning my mommy came to pick me up, and I had that entire Harlan househould up by 5:30am. Well, not Stratton. LouLou told my mommy that she woke up SEVERAL times during the night, to make sure I was doing okay. As of today, ALL is WELL. Keep your fingers crossed!

This picture is for you Grannie B!

I helped 'my' Gene celebrate his birthday all weekend long. Friday night, we all went to dinner to celebrate his birthday. Then Saturday, everyone showed up to give him presents! I love 'my' Gene. He's not just my grandfather, he's my best friend and my sleeping buddy, and I love with all my heart. Happy Birthday Gene. Love, Josie!

Summer is coming to an end, and now everyone is going back to school. I'm gonna miss all that EXTRA attention I was getting, during the day! At least Jeananne and Stratton spent some quality time with me this weekend.....oh yeah, Sugar too!

This is my Jeananne showing off her new car she got .....just because! Do you think she's happy?

Happy "SWEET SIXTEEN" Stratton! Alexa is trying to help Stratton, blow out the candles.

Look! There is my name!

My head is still a little wobbly, but look at me hold it up. I'm getting stronger everyday.

This is my bed and it's so comfy. I took my last bobbi at 11:30 and did not wake up until 8:30! Wow! My Nonnie tells my mommy how lucky she is. I also like to play with my toys too!

I thought that I would show off MY room. This is me on my 'big girl' bed!

Enough said...

This is one of my puppies! His name is Jake. He may look a little chubby, but my mommy says that he's just fluffy!

This is a picture of my room....Lindsay and Stratton argue over who is going to hold me. They need to figure out who is gonna make up my 'big girl' bed. My mommy said that she would take another picture of my room all pretty!

I am fully recovered from my shots. I woke up Saturday morning so happy. I was smiling and cooing. Morning is my favorite time to talk to my mommy. Oh yeah, bathtime at night too. Saturday, Stratton decided that she wanted to come over and spend the night with me. My mommy and daddy took us to the movie. It was so much fun and loud. But my mommy kept me in my carrier, so I would be comfy. When we got home, I took a bath and had a massage. Then it was time for my bobbi (bottle). After all that, I went right to sleep in my bed and Stratton slept in my soon to be 'big girl' bed. The next morning we all got up and went to church. This was my third time to go to church and yes, these mornings are so tense for my mommy, we keep forgetting to take a picture. Anyway, like the past two Sundays, I was an angel. My mommy will not let me go to the nursery, since I'm still too little. We want to stay well. The doctor agrees too.

Instead of going to the doctor this past Wednesday, we had to wait until today. I was so, so happy this morning. Smiling and oohing but then I had to go see Dr Ritch. He said that I was right on track and that I was a healthy little girl. I weigh 10.5 lbs and I'm 21" long. I'm still considered smaller than term babies my age, but he seems to think that I will be on target before you know it! He was very impressed that I am now taking four ounces of milk every four to five hours, and sleeping ALL night. That was a very good sign that I was maturing for my age. Then his nurse came in :o( That's when it all changed. It wasn't so bad until that third shot in my left leg. I sobbed and sobbed, until I gagged a little. My bottom lip stuck out all the way home. But my mommy held up really good....until we got home. Then daddy took over. After my mommy gave me some tylenol, I calmed down, and now everything is good! No more doctor until my six month check up and yes, one more round of shots.

Look! I'm a bow head!
