It’s been awhile February 28, 2008

From Ben:
We’re back.
Josie is now just over six-weeks old, and she’s starting to get on a routine. She sleeps a little more at night and smiles a lot more during the day. Which makes Kim and I happy.
Speaking of Kim. She’s been pretty sick the last two days, with a 100+ fever since late Tuesday [...]

It’s Oscar night February 24, 2008

From Ben:
Josie has been pretty excited for the Oscars all week. She’s been cooing and smiling in  anticipation of the big event. She hopes Diablo Cody wins.
We are about to embark on our first family journey outside the house. We plan to fight the crowds at the Mall of America. She’s been fed and and [...]

Smile like you mean it February 23, 2008

For the past several weeks now I have felt like a comedian on stage sweating under the spotlight because my best one-liners are sailing past a disinterested audience. My little girl typically stares blankly at all my made up songs and funny faces. Eventually she tires of my antics and falls asleep mid performance.
But [...]

It’s stinkin’ COLD! February 20, 2008

From Ben:
Our basement is so cold, we have to put two thick layers and a blanket (or wubby) on Josie. I’m pretty sure she’s not liking that, especially while we try to use up the not-so-absorbent Target-brand diapers. Let’s just say that doesn’t help the rash. Josie gets a pretty good swamp bum.
Poor Josie, and [...]

Happy 5 weeks! February 20, 2008

From Ben:
It’s amazing that Josie is five weeks old. Where did the time go? It seems that Josephine is starting to show her personality. She certainly is a little diva. She smiles a little — mostly when she is taking a bath or watching and listening to the University of Minnesota mobile in her crib.
The cutest thing is when [...]

Sleepy, then awakey February 18, 2008

From Ben:
She sleeps when we want her to be awake, She’s awake when we want her to sleep. Josie is still trying to get her clock right. Meantime, mom and dad are trying to figure it all out. We’re loving it, but it’s hard work.
The good news is that I got to feed Josie [...]

Squeakers McBig Cheeks February 17, 2008

Today is another marathon sleep day. I’m feeling a bit guilty for watching Rock of Love 2 with Ben and for lingering in the shower as I know she needs to be up more often now. She was awake nearly 5 hours yesterday afternoon. This afternoon we are at about an hour with eyes open.
We’ve [...]

We’re up and running February 17, 2008
