litte miss josie

it's been a while since i've written a whole post about josie. so here goes...

at 4 months, we can finally say that josie sleeps through the night. (and that sentence guarantees me that she'll be up every 2 hours tonight!) she gets 1 bottle a day at around 10-11pm and then she sleeps till 5-6am. after that she nurses every 3hours-ish and usually sleeps most of the time in between feedings. unless, of course, we are in the car. that in case she's awake and mad :)

at 4 months, josie has become a "regular" at the hospital. today we were waiting to get her follow-up chest x-ray taken. one of the blood draw lab people walked past, saw us, came back and told me how big josie is looking. that's when you know your kid is a "regular" at the hospital.

at 4 months, josie has lots of nicknames. at some point during the day you'll hear her being called: josie posie
posie
pos
jo
jo jo
little sister
joseph (garrett thinks he's pretty funny when he uses this one)

at 4 months, josie is too big for her preemie clothes. she's moved up to the newborn size and occasionally wears some of the cute 0-3m clothes that line her drawers. they are big, but not huge. she hasn't been weighed in a few weeks, but i think she's pretty close to 7lbs.

at 4 months, josie still gets the "ohh, how old is your newborn" question. or the "is she a newborn?" sometimes i say she's 4 months and sometimes i just let them think she's a newborn.

at 4 months, josie loves her sling, her papasan chair, her swing...and most importantly, her pacifier :)

and finally... at 4 months, josie wishes her mom would update this blog header. what girl wants a picture of a feeding tube taped to her face? and she also wants her mom to update her shutterfly pictures. well...a girl can dream :) someday...
