If we're buds on facebook, then you probably already know our news. Nope, not baby #2....
WE ARE MOVING!
Honestly, I never thought we'd move. I remember a conversation with my mother last year...
Me: "We'll never leave Columbia. We'll be here 'til we die."
(God says, "Ha!") ...
Andrew is the new pastor of Fort Johnson Baptist church on James Island, and we're so excited. Generation Church will always be a part of our family history, as we will always be a part of their story. We couldn't be more thankful for our time there and the precious people there.
FJBC has already been so welcoming to us! We are hoping our house sells soon so that we can set some roots in James Island.
Now, for Josie news (since I know you're just dying to know!)
Walking:: It happened. She finally did it. It only took her til 15 months...and one day! Dr. C said that he usually refers kiddos to babynet if they haven't walked by 15 months. Josie likes to cut it close...like her mama. She took her first consistent steps at BB and G-pa's house last week. The progression of events was mainly Josie walking a few steps, then she'd turn and look at all of us (for a round of applause, of course!) I don't know where that child gets the need to perform. Oh, my. Y'all...genetics are real. Also, I firmly believe that God has a sense of humor.
Words:: We have some pretty awesome communication going on right now with our little one. New words include:
"Preeeey" = Pretty
"Baah" = Ball
"Haaa" (like saying "Hat" without the "t") = a combination of Hey/Hi
"Baba" = banana
"Babeee" = blueberries (We actually don't ever say this word unless we can deliver the actual goods. Kinda like the word "bath." We have learned the hard way. She's so obsessed with "babees" that every time I open the refrigerator door, she thinks that's what I'm getting. Eek.)
"Papa" = Papa
"Mehmeh" = MeeMee
"Buh-buh" = BB
"Pa!!!!" = G-pa
**We're also doing a lot of jabbering. I'm just trying to be a good listening mommy, even though I have NO clue what she's talking about half the time. Guess it's my pay back for all the gabbing I've done my entire life. **
Other random things::
-Weighed 20 lbs and 12 oz at her 15 month checkup. She is teeny, but tall!
- Doing so well with the instruction "no." Seriously, I'm blown away. Maybe it's because I act like we won the lottery every time she listens.
- Is still enamored by Gigglebellies. If I could give a gift to every parent in the world, it would be gigglebellies. Google it, and thank me later.
-Likes to wear her (play) bracelets, brush her hair, and put on (play) makeup. Here we go...
-Prefers to play around the house in only a diaper, but I make her put on clothes ;-)
Well, that's all I've got for now. Thanks for checking in!
