Stocking Hat
My mom sent this stocking home with Delphia after Delphia had so much fun playing with it one day at her house.

Sisters Have Fun!
I will admit, I love my girls. I was really hesitant to have two girls together, but now that I have seen them interact with each other and their concern for each other, I know they will best best buds (most the time.)
If Josie is crying Delphia covers her ears and tries to figure out why she is crying. She will tell us, "She is crying because she doesn't want to be in her car seat." or she wants to be held or she is hungry.
If someone takes something from Josie, Delphia defends her.....but on occasion she still makes her cry by taking something away.
Mobi-Go
I have a Moby that I wear to carry Josie in. Delphia has a scarf that Melody crocheted for her 2 years ago. Delphia always asks me to put her Mobi-Go on so she can put her doll/animal in it.

Gingerbread Party
The first part of December we got together with my family to have a Christmas Party for the kids. The main highlight was making gingerbread houses. We had dinner and then it was onto the making of houses.
We had Delphia knead the frosting white we got the pieces broken in half. Luckily the house was preassembled.
Then it was time for Daddy to pipe on the frosting so Delphia could stick the candy on. She did pretty well getting the candy on the house and not too many pieces made it into her mouth.
She sprinkled cocohut onto the ground of her house for snow and even tried to taste it. However she forgot that she doesn't like coconut and was soon scraping every piece off her tongue.
Josie sat in her highchair trying to figure out what we were doing.
The completed house.....
The completed house with it builder.
I was amazed at how well it held her attention and how long it lasted.
After the houses were done we played Christmas Bingo twice and Grandma read a Christmas story.
I really can't believe that Josie is 6 months, 7 by the time I get around to blogging about it. I know you hear moms say that the time flies and they grow up so quickly and you think, whatever. But it really is true.
She had her 6 month appointment on October 13 and here are her stats:
Weight 14.4 lbs (21%)
Length 25.59 inches (46%)
Head 17.5 inches (93%)
Josie is just a joy and it is so much fun to watch her little personality (big personality?) start to show! She is seriously a ham! She loves to talk and her favorite sound for the mounth was "gee!" She is now making a "kkkkk" sound. She loves sticking her tongue out the side of her mouth and loves to smile.
She loves bathtime with Delphia and loves to splash even though Phia tells her not to. She loves when Delphia pays attention to her. She still doesn't love food at this point. (Although last Monday I discovered that if she can feed herself she will eat.) She has started to like the little Gerber puffs and the yogurt bites that they have. She just still really likes her bottle and I think is going through a growth spurt because she drinks 6 oz and then 2 hours later wants 6 more and is waking up more during the night to eat.
Josie loves to grab Delphias hair and just delights in grabbing faces. She likes to hold your finger while she eats her bottle and she hold her bottle really funny. She doesn't hold the sides with both hands, she holds the bottom with one hand so she can play with her hair, blanket etc with the other.
She is really into rolling over right now and constantly tries to roll over while drinking her bottle or when her diaper is being changed. We call her our Roly-Poly!
She also gets called Josie J, and Josie J. Pugmire!
She loves when Delphia is in bed and she has Mom and Dads attention all on her!
We love her!

Temple Square
We went to Temple Square for Shane's Birthday, but we got off to a late start since Delphia had dance and I had Activity Days.
Delphia was most excited to ride the train (TRAX). She loved the train last year and has just been waiting to ride again. There were hardly any people on the way downtown and we got a seat and didn't have to worry about Phia being too noisy.
Josie wasn't too sure about the whole thing and she looked like the State Puff Marshmallow in her pink coat.
We got off the tran and got hot chocolate and wandered around Temple Square. We went in to see the Christus and had 10 minutes till it closed when Delphia announced she needed to go potty. Shane took her to the bathroom and when they got out we only had 3 minutes or so to get up the ramp. Shane took Phia up so he could do it fast. Delphia got to the top and saw the Christus and said, "Daddy, He is so beautiful!"
They came back down and we saw the nativity outside and headed back to the train. It was a short night but perfect for the 2 girls. We left around 6:00 but we didn't get home until after 11:00 with the 45 minute drive each way and then the TRAX ride.
On the way home on TRAX Delphia was goofy and started singing Ruldolph loudly and some other guy on the train started singing with her. He would say a line and wait for her to say the next line. It was pretty funny!

Bounce
We picked up a Jenny Jump-Up for Josie and this is her first time in it. We later ended up taking it back because she really didn't like being in it and would just cry!
Hats For Sale....
Back in November I read "Hats For Sale" to Delphia. About a week later she came out with multiple hats saying that they were for sale. I got her to give one to Josie and pose for a couple pictures!
We kept trying to get a picture of Josie and she kept pulling this face.

She's a Turtle!
These pictures were taken awhile back and I just never blogged about them. For some reason Delphia kept getting mad at me when I would take the pillow off of Josie and she just kept putting it back on.
She finally told me to leave it there because it was her turtle shell!

Dollybug #2
This morning after I got Josie dressed I thought she looked so cute! I couldn't stop hugging and kissing he and had to take a couple pictures!
I go back to when Delphia was this little and I could dress her how I wanted and do her hair all cute. I enjoyed this time. Fast forward to Delphia at 3 and she wants to choose what she wears and her favorite items of clothes happen to be my least favorite. She is predictable in what she chooses depending on what is clean or dirty. If her Zoey underwear are clean she wears them, otherwise it is pink ballerina Dora next in line. She loves her Gap pants that her pink fleece and her green polka-dotted pants with the owl shirt. Fact is, it doesn't matter if it matches or not! She doesn't want her hair done or even combed....this too will pass. The day will come when she wants her hair pretty, just not today!

Josirella
Here's my little house elf, actually bolf of them are my house elves. Nothing was making Josie happy and so Shane put her in the Moby while he cleaned the kitchen up. She of course had her own ideas how to sweep the kitchen floor and got extremely upset when Shane wouldn't let her hold the broom.
I can already tell that she is going to be a little firecracker! She likes to have her way and she puts Delphia in her place by pulling her hair or having a tantrum!

Halloween 2010
For Halloween this year everyone came out to our house to trick-or-treat. Grandma was in Idaho for Cory's Homecoming so Grandpa came out by himself.
We had a ward Fall Carnival that we went to earlier in the day. They had hot dogs, chips, doughtnuts and homemade rootbeer. Delphia had a lot of fun playing the different little games in the classrooms and winning little prizes. It was warm enought outside that we walked over to the church without jackets.
That evening we had lasagne and garlic bread before everyone came. The cousins all got there and we headed out even though it had decided to rain. Delphia walked for most of our street but then complained that her legs hurt. We went back to our house and Shane decided just to put the candy on the porch and come with everyone. We headed over to Hickock and then over to the house decorated like a pirate ship for homemade doughnuts and hot chocolate!
This is the only picture I got of Delphia in her costume. She was an "elephalunt", as was Josie.
Josie and Eli.
Josie the elephant.
Josie the stuffed animal elephant! Her hood kept falling over her face and she would just sit there. It looked like she was a stuffed animal!

Chickens Eat Your Tongue!
Delphia has recently started sticking her tongue out when she is upset with us or wanting to sass us. I wasn't sure where she had gotten it from until I realized that she loves Peter Pan and Return to Neverland and that the lost boys stick their tongues out at Hook.
We had talked to her mulyiple times and put her in time out for sticking her tongue out. Nothing seemed to sink in however.
Until she was at my parents last Saturday and she stuck her tongue out. I guess grandpa told her if he saw her do it again he would send her out to the garage to have the chickens in his garage eat her tongue. That got through to her because since he told her that she has only stuck her tongue out once.
This of course has led to other topics containing chickens. Last night for instance she walked out with Shane to the car to carry stuff out to go home. She carried Josies dirty diaper out to put in the garbage and when she got on the porch she tossed it into the yard and told Shane that they would just leave it there for the chickens. Shane put the things in the car and went to pick up the diaper and Delphia got very upset telling him that it was for the chickens. Shane picked it up and told her they would feed it to the chickens in the backyard. She agreed and told him she would throw it in the garage for the chickens. Shane got to the back and lifted the garbage can lid and told her to throw it in. She told him that the chickens weren't in the garbage, that they were in the garage. Shane told her that the chickens that eat diapers were in the garbage and that the chickens in the garage didb't eat diapers just so she would throw it in!

Housekeeping
Delphia got a set that has an iron, ironing board, little vaccuum, garbage ca, broom and dust pan for Christmas last year and just recently has been really into pretending with it! Whenever she gets out the iron she insists on having a shirt on her ironing board out of her closet to iron.
Josie decided to get in on the fun!
This a little Halloween glow stick wand that was in the advent calendar for Halloween. I didn't get Josie one because I thought she was too little. Come to find out she loves it and doesn't want to give it back to Delphia.
