We have been very busy around our house. My mommy and daddy went to Houston last weekend and left my sister and I with our grandparents. We did awesome staying the night for 3 nights without our parents. Mommy and daddy had a great time, but sure did miss us, or so they say. My "sissy" and I have been kind of sick. Grandma took Josie to the doctor last Monday for what we thought was an ear infection, but instead she just got shots. She was 13.8 lbs and everything about her is tiny. She was only in the 18
th and 19
th percentile, except for her weight, which was in the 49
th percentile. Josie is almost my exact measures at my 4 month check. On Wednesday, mommy took me in because I was coughing so bad I was throwing up. Mommy says it is just the start of many doctors visits for the season. I just had a really bad cold that would probably turn into a sinus infection by Friday. They also stated that my left tube had fallen out and is just hanging in the ear canal. Mommy prays I will not need another set. By Friday my cough was worse and they started me on a pretty high dose of
Amoxicilin. Now, I'm already feeling better and am back to my crazy self. This past weekend my sissy was baptized. I slept through the whole thing. I must have been tired because I woke up at 6:30 that morning. As you can see from the pictures, there were many family members at the baptism. Fr. Paul
Monahan did the ceremony and according to mommy it was pretty cool. He baptized Josie with water from the Holy Land, the Jordan River. He was there last summer and had a bottle of water from there that he put over her. That sounds cool, I wish I could have played in it. After the baptism, we came back to our house and had a party. I had so much fun playing with my cousin, friends, and family. Josie just hung out with the adults and Ellie, my cousin. Mommy and daddy thank everyone that came and participated in the ceremony for my sissy. They want to also thank aunt Kimmy and Brandy for being Josie's godparents. Besides all the fun stuff that has happened, Josie and I are on the move. I keep mommy and daddy on their toes constantly. I love to ride my bike and I am very good at it. Mommy always says if I could pitch a tent outside, I would. My new words are "you are driving me nuts, I don't want to, I don't like you, and because I want to." I also am in a phase of hitting so I spend a lot of time in time out. As for my sister, she has rolled over a couple of times, eats bananas, peas, and cereal, (sometimes powdered donuts and popcorn when I give it to her) and is wanting to just move all over. She can be demanding when she wants something. She just cries and my parents jump and give her food or cuddle her. I don't get it because when I cry they just ask me if I'm okay. They spoil her rotten. As for the big holiday coming up, I am going to be Mickey Mouse as my girlfriend is going to be Mickey Mouse. Josie is going to be a pea in a pod. We will post pictures as soon as mommy gets some. I hope all is well with everyone and I will talk to you soon. Oh and a big congrats go out to my uncle Tony and aunt Katie. They are going to be parents again in May. Addie is going to be a big sister! Keep them in your prayers!
