I finally captured one of Jocelyn's cutest tricks yet - wigglin'! She is getting good at it and seems to understand what we mean when we ask her to wiggle. Please excuse the camera shaking - I was demonstrating!!
**Update: Today Robin, our neighbor and friend, watched Jocelyn for a little bit. She reported that every time she gave Jocelyn a Cheerio, she would do the wiggle dance while eating it. What a character!
Jocelyn is now 8 months old and I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She is learning new things every day and so am I. Here is what life is like for Joss these days . . .
We get lots of Joss and mom quality time now that my schedule is a little lighter. It is so much fun!
Jocelyn seems to enjoy eating solid foods these days. Did I say eating? I mean spreading it all over her face and in her ears!
We get to go to the park and partake in one of Jocelyn's favorite pastimes - staring at all the older kids running around and having fun. She actually enjoys the swing, but hates to wear a hat. No sunburns for you Joss!
She loves to play and is much better at smiling for the camera now.
Playing with one of her favorite toys, her very own cell phone. :)
I always feel like I have nothing to say when I blog, but I love reading updates on everyone else's blog. I am going to try harder to think of semi-interesting things to write about. I guess I'll just talk about what we all did today. Trent went mountain biking with a friend this morning and supposedly they rode uphill for three straight miles (I think Trent might embellish sometimes). What is true, however, is that Trent fell down at least five times and has scratches on his arms and legs. And he can't wait to go again! We watched conference on the internet which is always a challenge because sometimes it stops and we miss some of what is being said. We did see Trent's mom singing and that is always fun. I think my favorite speaker was Dallin H. Oaks.
I made two new recipes from Deceptively Delicious and they were both good. Even Trent approves. The sweet potato pancakes were a little bit sweeter and fluffier than regular pancakes and were excellent. Then I made peanut butter banana muffins with carrots being the super special secret ingredient. These were also great and I think I have already eaten six of them. At least they are made of whole wheat flour and have some nutritional value.
Other highlights from the day include sleeping in until 8:00 (thank you, Jocelyn!) and then taking another hour long nap in the afternoon. Joss and I went for a short walk and I am sad to say that it is still overcast. I am anxiously waiting for it to warm up enough to take Joss in the pool. I am afraid her belly is going to get too big for her new bathing suit. We also bought her a ladybug swim floating thing with a sunshade that I am dying to put her in. So that is our day in a nutshell. Yeah.
Pre-Easter dinner with Grandma & Grandpa Giron. Have you ever seen the ceiling of Buca Di Beppo's? You should check it out. Jocelyn loved it and spent most of dinner arching her back so she could just stare at all the stuff on the ceiling.
Thanks for my new ears, Uncle Phil! And Sarah!
Joss' first Easter egg hunt. She pretty much just played with the first toy she found and wasn't interested in much else. Her older cousin Abby (16 months) kept trying to steal her toys. It was pretty cute.
So cute
Our little bunny
