It's been a few weeks.

As you'll see in the pics below, JoJo made her first trip to Phyllis' cabin. She was a little disconcerted, but she loved hanging out with the Girl Scouts at the Stirniman's cabin across the lake.

JoJo also had a rush trip to Urgent Care for a rash that covered her body. It turned out to be Roseola, a common baby condition that usually appears in rash form only after a few days of fever. No fever, but the rash sure did cause a scare. Because of the danger to pregnant women and other babies, she stayed home all weekend and skipped church (so did Daddy!).

Otherwise things have been good. The days are getting hot enough that she runs around in just a shirt and a diaper, wearing her orange foreign legion hat outdoors.

You'll also see JoJo being held below by one of my former students - Alicia (formerly Ferrall) M. (no clue how to spell her name Italian last name). Alicia lives in Connecticut now and stopped by on pool night with her brother.

She loves books! Every librarian's dream!

Little Miss Curious also loves shiny metal objects, like the camera!

From the back porch of the cabin. Yes, we're blocking the view, but hey, she's cuter than the grass and trees anyway.

A fun video of JoJo:



Here are some pics from Sheryl's camera:

"I couldn't find my camera" is my main excuse for not blogging. Below are some new pics, especially cute is her new hat. The tip is stitched down with an animal face on it.

Mom trying to take a few pics. JoJo was more interested in the camera than posing.

If you look closely, especially behind the ears, you will see some hair!


JoJo loves to "walk" around with someone holding her hands above her head. She refuses to try to crawl, although she did get a foot or two when she got desparate the other day. Mommy was in the kitchen cooking, and daddy was on the couch, so she leaned forward and dragged herself a few feet before giving up.

She is loving her new daycare at Jeanie's house. After a day or two, she started shaking her head back and forth. We couldn't figure out what it was until Jeanie told us that they did a music time each day, and the older kids dance, so JoJo was just imitating them by moving back and forth. Lately, however, she's begun to shake her head when she doesn't want something. It's fun to watch.

We've also begun trying to get her to sleep without being held, especially the "bad habit" of sleeping on daddy's chest.
