Exactly why SOME shouldn't have kids!

Shana Brown of Uniontown, Pa., was charged with drugging her 13-year-old daughter so the mom's boyfriend, Duane Calloway, could get the girl pregnant, police said April 2. Police said Brown couldn't have a baby with Calloway so wanted her daughter to do it for her. The girl told police Calloway tried to rape her three times but that she got away.

I will take the obligatory SIX month photo when she gets up from her nap but for now enjoy 2 pictures from our tattoo appointment this past weekend in her "I can't wear pink everday" onesie that her Aunts bought her :P Definatly fitting!!

I was definalty worried about her since we were at Jack Browns forever but she was amazing. (Took two naps and was in a good mood in between that!)

Seriously - 3 posts in one night - Im really slacking!

It was warmer than usually the other day so we decided since we both had off to spend some time with Jossalyn outside and put her feet in the grass for the first time :)

Seriously, How much better can it get than this?!

I think she liked it
She's definatly a "Daddy's Girl" she can't keep her eyes off of him!
BTW: This is MY Favorite Picture!

I told you so!

This is Derek's Favorite Picture!

Although, this is in the running.

Everytime the wind would blow alittle she would cheese BIG TIME!

YUMMMMMMMMMMY!

Okay seriously where has the time flown? Jossalyn is now eating Oatmeal WITH A SPOON. And wants to hold the spoon and feed herself!! We will be starting baby food next month already!!

Yummy!

Once she has the spoon its like tug-o-war to get it back!She has also learned to reach for the camera :P
WOW- Messy little Girl!!

LOVE HER!

Seriously Martha.... MOVE THE TRUCK OVER!!!

I'm now stepping up and claiming my spot as the official "Suzy Homemaker" (although I still clean for crap :P and still haven't posted pictures of our cleaned kitchen!!) BUT... I did stay up until 2 am the other day making homemade baby food.

I will post another time about how I did all of it once I get my pictures off my camera (I lost my cord that connects it to the computer and I didn't have a card in so they saved to the memory) anyways... Here's what I made!!! Seriously - I'm UBER proud and can't wait til next month for her to start trying everything :)

Top: Sweet Potato

Middle: Carrots

Bottom: Sweet Peas

I put everything in Zip-lock bags and froze them (good for 3 months)
This is what the individual servings look like

Seriously - how awesome is that :) Next I will be doing Avocado's, Squash and possibly some fruits (apples/peaches/banana). I plan on doing some every weekend to keep our supply up!!

Awfully Sad but Quite Halarious!

How could you not giggle at this?!

Amazing how such a happy little girl can be so sad when she's sick :( ... I promise an "Evie" blog is coming. I just have been ... preoccupied (aka LAZY AS SHIT!)

update:

Jossalyn is feeling NO better this morning (meaning we won't be attending church this morning ... 3rd week in a row UGH! Last week was because her morning nap routine got all messed up by the freaking time change and the week before that I had to work)

Well Jossalyn did sleep, heavily from 7:00 - 4:30 (when Derek got home from work). I think she heard us talking and wanted to join in; but thats probably the first time in weeks she has woken up and wanted to eat that early, sometimes she gets up at 6 but just eats and goes back down. She got up and Derek fed her a bottle (bc I WAS pumping at the time she woke up so I woudn't have had anything to give her) and we laid her back down and she feel back asleep and woke up around 8:30.

Shes napping right now, finally. She was realllllly fighting it today. Rolling over everytime I laid her down. Shes buring up but her temp is only 99.6. I have her in a shortsleeved onsie and have a little blanket with her. Poor little girl.

Worst thing though is her voice. From coughing so much & so hard (trying to break up all the mucus) and crying most of the late afternoon yesterday her voice is almost gone and its cracking when she cries and its real high pitched :( It sounds so cute but it makes me so sad :(

SAVE ME PLEASE!

Okay I know Im sorry its been well over a week since I posted last and NO I didn't forget about you; I got promoted (did I tell you I got promoted yet?!) I am now the owners assistant :) Go Me! And am working 40 hours a week so I am pretty much spent by the time I come home and just want to relax and I know your Jossalyn fix needs tended too so before I go watch some crappy LIFETIME movie let me just tell you how our day went. Jossalyn is sick, stuffy/runny nose, 99.8 fever, hacking cough, sneezing, miserable ... just miserable.

So.. She cried pretty much all afternoon

Then she would fall asleep and cat nap for 30 mins or so.Then wake up and be good for a little bit, then repeat x 7hours!

xoxox
