22 months old

Josephine is 22 months old and learning & growing leaps and bounds. She's also pushing boundaries and expressing her independence which is challenging at times. Still a sweet little girl, very curious, and smart as the dickens. When daddy asks her mommy's name she says Julie Anderson. When asked daddy's name she says daddy. This morning Josie said she had to go potty so off we went armed with some books. Sure enough she did go potty after sitting for awhile. She hasn't asked for awhile to use the potty so maybe she's interested again. She's enjoying all the Christmas festivities like decorating the tree, seeing lights on houses and listening to Christmas music. She received an early Santa Lucia gift from Karen, Luke and Katie, a nativity set that she is having fun playing with. She does lots of imaginary play with Christmas ornaments, her animals, and dolls. Here are a few pics from the last month.

Still loves to be read to and to read on her own. She's now "reading" out loud and makes up the story when she can't remember how it goes. Very cute.

She still loves going to the library.

Enjoying lots of Stanford football on TV and women's soccer live. When any football game is on tv Josie say's "go Stanford". We'll be cheering from afar for the women's soccer team to win the NCAA finals on Sunday.

Decorating our tree.

Only place in the house where a tree will fit so had to get a small one.

Fun on the tractor with Daddy.

She likes to color and post her artwork.

She still loves to climb and jump and say "ta da". Today she asked if she could go to gym class. I told her she had to wait until tomorrow. Here's a video of her jumping with two feet off her stool. She practiced a bunch of times and finally got it.
