First Trip to Another State Other Than Nebraska

We headed to Sioux Falls, SD last weekend for Josh's cousin Courtney's wedding. We were pretty excited because several members of Josh's family that hadn't met Jolie yet were going to be in attendance. And Uncle Matt and Arah got to share in the joy of Jolie so they should be scared from having kids for quite awhile. We picked them up in Omaha and stayed at the hotel with us and a sometimes very crabby Jolie. How lucky were they? ;)

Courtney's wedding probably set the world record for quickest ceremony ever (which was good because I was worried about Jolie 'talking') and then we headed to the Sioux Falls convention center for a very fun reception. It was super nice because our hotel was attached to the convention center so we headed over with our stroller.
Here's a few pictures. She was all dressed up and very popular!

Tummy Rubs for Everyone

Jolie enjoys her playtime on the floor and of course, Petey loves to join in. And we discovered that both Jolie and Petey love tummy rubs! hehe



Jolie has Roseola, so she's had a couple fevers and rash all over, but she's been fine otherwise. The fevers come down with Tylenol and its not an itchy or painful rash so I guess its not a big deal (not a big deal to a crazy, obsessive mom!?!?--yeah right!!). She sure enjoys keeping us on our toes trying to figure her out all the time! Good grief! We're just hoping she does okay for our trip to Sioux Falls this weekend--especially for Uncle Matt and Arah who are planning on riding with us!

Yummy in my tummy and nose and face and hair and chair

Josh had Tuesday off so they got a Daddy-Daughter day to play and even visited me over lunch at work. Nothing makes my day go faster than a lunch time snuggle! Thanks Josh and Jolie!

Jolie is still digging her food but it seems like each feeding is getting to be a bigger and bigger mess! I've even had to clean sweet potatoes out of her nose with Q-Tips! She also has quite the powerful sneeze and can easily launch food quite a distance.

Pardon the Interruption...

Jolie has a very important announcement just for you.

Hehehe!

The Inchworm That Could

We have a little inchworm at our house and she is trying really hard to crawl. Here's a little video of her inching her way to her pacifier. It was so hard for me not to help her out, but she was so determined and never got upset at all! What a champ!

Get over here Petey! And hold still!

Jolie would really love to feel Petey's fur, but she's just a little too slow. Every once in awhile she'll get a little bit of fur and her fascination with Petey just continues to grow! Beware Petey--you've been warned!

Hi Henry! Do you like my foot?

Henry and Jolie were had a great time at Great Grandpa's 75th birthday party a couple of weeks ago. They both liked playing with Jolie's feet and she can't wait to sit up big like Henry!

Dad, Guess What?

Jolie and Josh have so much to talk about--sometimes I can't even keep up!

Eating Cereal, Take 1 and 2

Video overload! After some technical difficulties, I finally got some videos downloaded! However, this means I have some catching up to do and Jolie has a lot to show you! So here are several video posts for all your Jolie-needs.

We tried feeding Jolie cereal at 4 months and FAILED!

Check out when we tried again at 5 months! Success-ish...

A Tisket, a tasket, a Jolie in a basket

Here's a few pictures Sara took last weekend. Can you believe we were in a ditch? How cool! Be sure to check out her photography blog too. She's pretty awesome and a famous photographer so we are honored that Jolie got to 'model' for her! :) Thanks Sara!
