Meeting in the Middle

Saturday we met Grandpa and Grandma Buechler at Uncle Matt and Arah's house in Omaha. We also got to stop at coolest store ever--Carter's to pick up some sweet (and might I mention ON SALE) clothes for Jolie! Then we headed over to meet everyone and got to spend a lovely relaxing Saturday watching football and eating one of my favorites--Buffalo Wild Wings! Well Jolie opted for some peas and squash, but the rest of us ate awesome wings!

Sadly, Jolie was having some issues with her Grandpa Buechler. Every time he would hold her or even look at her too long, she'd start screaming! It was so embarrassing and even though Jeff told her he'd remember this when it came to Christmas, it didn't appear to have any affect on Jolie! She just kept screaming at him--what a stinker!

Other than that everyone was happy because the Huskers and the Iowa Hawkeyes won. Well Uncle Matt was a little disappointed that Jolie was wearing Husker apparel and not any Hawkeye items. Next year when Nebraska changes conferences and plays Iowa, I have a feeling things could get ugly!

Jolie has been doing great practicing sitting up on her own and working on her flexibility. In fact, we've caught her with her big toes in her mouth! We also have been trying to keep her from sucking her thumb and giving her the pacifier instead. And now we've caught the little stinker with her thumb in the middle of her pacifier! So she's not technically sucking her thumb, but she's cruising on a thin line! I hope this isn't a sign of things to come, like trying to find technicalities around any rules we may have! :)

I don't know why or how I discovered this, but Jolie has been finding it so funny if I bark like a dog at her. So while she was screaming at her Grandpa Buechler, I was barking at her trying to make her laugh. Matt and Arah's neighbors probably think we are so weird!
Here's a couple pictures when I was barking at her--a really big laugh

And a lovely smile!
