saturday at the lake
Yesterday we met up with my sister's family and my parents at the lake, and we had a blast! It was hot outside, but the water was perfect! Before we left home we woke Jo up from a 2.5 hour nap so we could head over (she had already taken one long nap in the morning). Apparently that was not the move to make because she wasn't her usual happy self. She just wanted Phil or me to hold her and after an incident of trying to eat the sand she was a little upset. But she still had a good time swimming around and splashing her arms and legs as we played in the water.

summer nights
Oh, how we love summer nights! There is nothing better. Last night we went to Dinner at the Depot in downtown Kennesaw, and it was literally my perfect summer night. Amazing food, being outside, live music, watching Jo play in the grass. Jovi was in heaven too. She LOVES touching and pulling the grass (and trying to eat it) and people watching. Plus, we let her taste our watermelon pomegranate and chocolate salted caramel popsicles. Best night of her life. Haha. Here are a few pictures from last night.
And here are a few more from last week when we had a picnic.
^She looks super happy, I know. Haha. She didn't want to be held for the picture. And she was getting sleepy.^

nine months
Jo,
Here we are again! Another month has come and gone. I feel like every morning when you wake up you have grown so much just overnight! You recently started eating more and more solids (as in not pureed). You LOVE to feed yourself. It is so cute to watch you pick little pieces of food up and feed yourself. Your pincer grasp is awesome! Your favorites at the moment are bread and bananas. You have started to not want to eat your veggies, even though we offer those to you first in hopes that you will eat them before you see the yummy stuff (aka fruits, yogurt, bread). We've been successful so far in getting you to eat most of your veggies at meal time, but I can foresee some difficulties with that as you get older. Haha. You continue to be the sweetest baby ever, and you're so smart! We've been working on clapping, waving, and signing for 'more' when you want more food. When you clap and sign it is usually one-handed, and it's so adorable. You LOVE when we read you books, and you love pointing to all the parts of my face and your face and saying the body parts. You think it's pretty funny. You love playing in grass and pulling it and trying to eat it. Although you do NOT like it when we tell you not to eat it. When you get upset you throw yourself backwards and push your legs against the ground so your body goes up and down. We call you a little bucking bronco. You are starting to feel some stranger danger when someone you don't know or aren't used to holds you. You will start to fuss and reach for either me or daddy. You continue to fill our home and hearts with so much love and happiness, and we can't imagine life without you!
Happy nine months, baby girl! We love you!

singing
Jo,
You have always loved dancing, and if there's some music or some sort of beat going we can be sure to find you bopping along to it. But lately you have been singing, and it is the sweetest, goofiest thing ever. When there's music playing in the car I can often hear you singing along in the backseat. And when one of your toys plays music you will sing and sing until it stops. And then we'll play it again and you will sing and sing. It really is the sweetest. Keep singing, baby girl.

videos
I take TONS of pictures (that may be an understatement) of Jo, and I absolutely love looking through pictures and seeing the moment as it was captured. But my favorite is watching videos and being able to see exactly how Jo acts and how sweet and goofy she is. Here are a few of my favorites from lately.
Lizard baby.
She laughs at the most random times at the most random things. This time it was me wiggling my feet.
Smiling's her favorite.
Being a little goof.
bath time
This little girl LOVES bath time. Whenever she sees the bath she gets super excited. She usually ends up splashing so much water out of the tub that I have to use two or three towels to get it all up. Haha.
This picture cracks me up.
