Piano Recital

I have to brag on my Alex for a bit now.  Alex played in his very first piano recital!  He has only had ten lessons and he played beautifully!  I am so proud of him.  He went up and performed with such confidence that he radiated happiness.  He played Mary Had a Little Lamb and Jingle Bells.  He really loves the piano and loves his teacher very much.  At first he was upset that I had signed him up for lessons without me asking him, but now I have to pry him away from the keys so he will do his school work.  I am so grateful that he loves music, because he really has an ear for it, and has since he was a baby.  He is getting so big!

He is such a ham

Such concentration

I LOVE that smile

8 Months Old on 12-12-12

Josephine is 8 months old!  Can you believe it!?!  She is growing up so quickly and really developing quite the personality.  She is definitely as fiery as her hair, which is coming in nicely.  Here is a brief update on our little princess...

on 12-12-12!

*She has mastered scooting around on her bottom and is trying her hardest to crawl

*She waves hello and goodbye and says "Hi"

*She claps her hands and says "Yay"

*When we ask her 'How big is Josephine?"  She raises her arms above her head and we say "So BIG!"

*She LOVES to sing and tries to overpower the choir during practice

*She scrunches up her nose when she is being silly

*She plays Peek-A-Boo

*She definitely lets you know when she wants your attention (and not quietly)

*She hates anything dressed up (santa, mascots...)

*She loves pulling things out of containers

*She steals food off of your plate any chance she gets

*She has 6 almost 7 teeth!  (She's a piranha!)

*Her brothers make her laugh all the time

 *She got her first baby doll and LOVES it

*She is becoming very busy!

I love this smile!

In her Christmas outfit!

The Chick-Fil-A cow had tried to shake her hand...she wasn't taking her eyes off of him

Loves playing in the laundry baskets and helping Mommy fold laundry
