Jocelyn's 1st Ranger Game

A couple of weekends ago we took Miss J to her first Ranger game.  We had a lot of fun and Dad was even able to get us a suite!

 In front of the stadium about to go in

 Watching the game with Dad

 Hanging out with Aunt Blaire

 Hanging out with Miss Kim

 Don't judge.....remember who her parents are

 This one makes me laugh.  That is one of those ice cream "bowl hats".  We were all laughing so hard!  She is a good sport.

Jocelyn's 5 seconds of fame.  She got on the jumbo tron with her Aunt Blaire. 

My 1st Mothers Day

My first Mothers Day was wonderful.  Derek and Jocelyn got me some flowers, a nice card and some bling (thanks honey!)

 Jocelyn "made" this picture frame for me at school.

Crawfish Boil

Several weeks ago, Derek wanted to have a crawfish boil.  He worked so hard, but we had a fun time!

 We had two pots going at one point.  Derek cooked 60lbs of crawfish!!

 I thought I would be the "fun" hostess and got a blow up pool with balls in it.  It was a BIG hit!  Jocelyn, Gage and Liam had a blast!

 I thought this picture was so cute of Jocelyn and Liam. 

 We kept her up a little past bed time, and I think this picture is like "Hey, Mom, I'm tired"

Yummm!  It was really good.  Thanks honey!  You did a good job.

8 Months!

Time flies by when you are having fun!  Jocelyn has been so much fun lately and her personality is really coming out.  She is the happiest baby I know.  She doesn't really get upset about much of anything...only when she is hungry or tired.  She sits up really well and has excellent core strength.  She can't crawl yet, but I am sure as I click on "publish post", she will.  She can get up on all fours and rocks, and rocks.  You can tell she want's to crawl SOOO bad!  Since she can't crawl, she just rolls everywhere she wants to go, kind of funny.  She also does this weird thing with her hands?!? She rolls her hands around in a circle at her wrist??  I don't know why she does it, but she does it all of the time. 

Jocelyn is loving her food that I make for her.  It is very time consuming especially with a full time job, husband and 8 month old to worry about, but I love doing it for her.  Her favorite foods are pears & apples, avocado & bananna, butternut squash....well, it is just easier to list what she doesn't like...mangos & broccoli!  Weird, huh?  She is still taking about 27-30 ounces of formula a day, which is why she is literally 20 lbs, hehe! 

 Before

 Some of my work

 In the freezer

Dishes in the sink for Daddy to clean up

She sleeps like a champ at night, going to bed at 7pm and sleeps till 6:30-7am.  She also takes a couple of naps during the day.  She is easily entertained, but does get upset when I leave the room (this is new).  She will also reach out for me to hold her, which I love.  However, when I hold her and Dad wants her to come to him, she just continues to hold onto me. 

Jocelyn loves baby einstein videos, paper, cell phones and of course Toby.  He still hates her, which sucks.  I worry about when she starts to crawl, I think he is probably going to growl and bite her possibly.  Jocelyn also can kind of drink out of a straw.  Several times we have put a straw into her mouth and she has sucked on it and swallowed the liquid! 

Above, I mentioned that some of Jocelyn's favorite things are paper, cell phones and Toby.  I don't know why I even spend money on toys for this kid when all she needs is this..............



Easter

We had a great Easter! Jocelyn got not one, not two, but 3 Easter baskets!  She particularly liked the plastic eggs, which were constantly in her mouth.

 She wore bunny ears at Poppy and Lynna's house for Easter lunch.  She actually kept them on for a really long time. 

 At one point in time, I looked up from the pallet we had made Jocelyn on the floor to see 10 adults staring at her.  I have no idea what she is going to do when other grandkids enter the picture and she is not the center of attention anymore?!?

 The best family photo we were able to get.  She is getting increasingly harder to photograph, as she is starting to move and wiggle all of the time.

                            Gramma Joyce and Grandaddy got Jocelyn all sorts of fun things too.
