Hey friends!

It’s been 10 months with our beautiful Josie Rae (now 11! Mama’s a little behind on the updates)! August flew by, and we’ve been so busy with work and life that I haven’t had a chance to sit down to tell you all the wonderful things going on in Josie’s little corner of the world. So, without further ado, let’s dive in!

Josie is my daredevil. She lives for adventure and is always doing something that may or may not be giving me a heart attack. On the 4th of July, she had no fear of crawling down the driveway while we sat out and watched fireworks. She handled the 4th quite well despite our little trip to the ER with big sis. The noise didn’t seem to bother her much, and she had no issues getting to sleep after all the festivities. In addition to the 4th, Josie got to take part in other celebrations, including daddy and Lyla’s birthdays! She may not have been able to try cake, but she was the perfect Anna for Lyla’s Frozen-themed party.

Wow, I can’t believe Josie is 9 months! Time sure is flying! Over the past month, I feel like we’ve seen so many changes in Josie. We officially have a crawler! She started army crawling backwards, switched to lifting one leg to try to move forward, and finally got it down over Father’s Day weekend! She hasn’t stopped moving since and thinks it’s funny to crawl away from mommy when it’s time for bed. She’s still babbling away nonstop and loves saying “ahhh” with Lyla anytime we’re in the car and I’m trying to drive. She’s constantly pulling herself up on things and working very hard on using her sippy cup. Josie also got her first two teeth!

Hey friends!

Our little Jose Jose is 8 months old! How wild is that?! It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital, and now she’s doing several new things every day. It amazes me how quickly the first year always goes by. As always, I wish I could keep my girls this little forever, but every new chapter comes with new adventures, so I’m excited to see where their future takes them.

Hi friends!

I am so behind on this update, it’s not even funny. Life has been busy between work, social activities, and raising our tiny humans. Despite the chaos, our hearts are full. Six months has been such a fun age. Josie is doing amazing things, and it’s bittersweet knowing that she’s already halfway to turning one. Like, where did my baby go?!

Hey friends! ✨

Our Jose Jose is 5 months! This little girl is the absolute sweetest! Little by little, her personality is starting to shine. As much as I want to keep her this little forever, I’m looking forward to learning more about this tiny human God blessed us with. This month started rough for Josie. She came down with a nasty cold around Valentine’s Day. She was coughing so much that we thought she had RSV. We took her to the doctor, and she tested negative for the flu and RSV. However, because she had a small amount of wheezing, they prescribed us a breathing treatment to help open up her lungs. Those helped, but the cough has lingered. We’re hoping she’s just getting back-to-back colds. She’s a trooper and has remained in good spirits despite not feeling 100%.

Hey friends!

Welcome back to another Josie’s Cozy Corner update! This mama got behind this month! Better late than never, right? So, let’s dive in and chat about what our sweet Jose Jose has been up to. At her 4-month appointment, her pediatrician said she was right on track for development. She weighed 12 lbs and 10.5 oz. and was 24.5 inches.

Happy New Year, friends! ✨🪩

Our amazing Josie Rae is officially 3 months old! She’s the sweetest little thing and such an easy-going baby. We love her to pieces! Since my last update, Josie has started going to daycare with big sis. Lyla loves having Josie there and often visits her in the baby room. Josie has made some new friends and even did a little finger painting with her class. Josie’s teachers have told us on multiple occasions that she is the “perfect daycare baby”. She’s usually pretty chill unless she’s hungry, then watch out! She doesn’t like it when we take her bottle away to burp lol.

Hi friends! ✨

Can you believe Josie is already 2 months old? I sure can’t! This little one has been BUSY! So, let’s jump right into all the exciting things our sweet girl has been up to! First, we celebrated Josie’s baptism. It was a beautiful day, and I was so happy to have her wear the same baptismal dress that Lyla wore. In my opinion, the best part about her having the same gender is how identical they look.
