4 Months...How Time Flies

Josie is 4 months and it is hard to believe. It seems like she is growing up way faster than Delphia did. Maybe it is just having 2 or maybe it is just personalities.

Josie seems much more determined than Delphia and isn't near as cuddly. She wants to see everything that's going on, wants to sit up, rolled over for the first time Sunday ind loves to be on her feet.

She loves to lay on the floor while Phia is playing and watch her. We get toys out for her and then they disappear, only to find out that Phia has puit them away because they were "making messes!"



She loves to be talked to and loves it when Delphia pays attention to her and talks to her. Delphia calls her Jose and is always telling her she is so cute and that she loves her shirt or some other part of her outfit. She is so loving with her and concerned about where she is if we aren't holding her, wanting to know if she is asleep.

She likes to be in her highchair when we are doing things in the kitchen. She still looks so tiny in that big chair!

4 Months and 3 Year Check-ups

On Monday the girls had their check-up with Dr Erickson. Josie had her 4 month and Delphia had her 3 year.

Here are their stats:
Josie 12.9 lbs (26%), 24.21 in (39%) and her head is 17.0 in (91%)
Delphia 27.78 lbs (20%), Ht 32.52 in (0%)

It was fun to come home and compare Josie's stats with Delphia's at that age. It was exciting to find out their stats, especially Delphia's since she hasn't been in for a year.

Josie was excellent with no tears the whole visit until she had her 3 shots. Delphia was an entirely different story. We have been telling her she didn't have to have shots until Kindergarten, but apparently had been lying as she had to get 2 shots. However, that wasn't the start of the tears. The tears started when Dr Erickson looked in her ears. Why? I haven't the slightest clue... He let her choose a sticker (She chose Jessie from Toy Story) and then showed Delphia that Josie let him look in her ears. Then he tried Delphia again but she started crying again and Grandma had to hold her hands.

When it came time for shots I asked Phia if she wanted to go first or have Josie go first. She told me that she wanted Jose to go first. Grandma told her she thought she hould go first and get it over with but she was firm in her decision that Jose go first.

All day long she was telling anyone who would listen that she had surgery on her legs (meaning shots.)

Delphia's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Delphia's 3rd Birthday on the 18th instead of the 22nd since Spencer was giving his Homecoming talk that day. On Sunday morning I wished her Happy birthday to which she responded, "Don't say that to me. It's not my birthday!"

She specifically asked for strawberry cupcakes with pink icing, so that's what she got.

When we got to the park and were ready to start all the kids were playing on the playground so we told her to go gather them up for the unwrapping of presents. Well, she was trying to round up kids she didn't even know!

Wild Thing Phia....

Delphia is totally into make believe and has so much fun being off in her own little world. Two Sundays ago she was riding her bike in the house with her helmet.



The funniest thing of the day is when she put a hat on, gloves on her hands and gloves on her feet and declared they were her pajamas. She wandered around in them throughout the afternoon. Shane and I had to hold in the giggles when she first came in dressed like that. Later that night I had a meeting and when I got home the girls were in bed. Shane however warned me that Delphia had gone to bed with the hat on her head, gloves on both hands and feet insisting they were her pajamas and she had to wear them. I went in once she was asleep and removed the gloves. She had taken the hat off and put it on monkey.

July 24th

For the 24th of July we decided to go up to Pineview Resevoir...little did we know it would be so cold. It is primarily for fishing and raft type boats/canoes.

Delphia braved the water for a little bit and Phillip was totally soaked!




Phia, Josie and I....



We went back to my parents and had a BBQ and homemade ice cream. The food was delicious and the companmy great! We played a few yard games and the girls went and swung at Crebs.

Finally the girls were exhausted and Jed and Ash headed home but we had bought sparklers for Delphia and so we let her light 2 boxes and have fun with them!
