Playtime.....

The weather was great here on Saturday. Jocelyn and I decided to enjoy it and just have fun!! We blew bubbles, drew on the sidewalk, and threw a ball around. We had a great time!! Doesn't the smile on her face just say it all?? Sorry the pictures are blurry. I had trouble with my camera.

I can throw the ball really high!! I haven't quite mastered catching it though.

Look at me mommy!!

I love to cower (color) with all of these pretty colors.
I have also started something new this week. When I get ready to give Jocelyn her bath at night I go into her room and pick out 3 sets of pajamas and let her choose which one she is going to wear to bed that night. The smile on her face each night is from ear to ear. She just thinks that this is the neatest thing. I think next week I will start this with the clothes she gets to wear during the day.
Potty training is still in progress. We have graduated to big girl panties at home and she has had a few accidents but they are getting fewer and farther between. I do put her in a pullup during nap time and at bedtime still.

Updates.....

Sorry no pictures today. Jocelyn has been keeping me pretty busy the last couple of weeks. She is talking so much more and in 3 or 4 word sentences. She has learned some animal sounds, we are still working on potty training, but most of all we ar e enjoying being together. I received her birth certificate in the mail this past Saturday. It was a great moment to see my name under the title mother. I am still amazed that I have that title at all.

Right now I have swimmers ear in my left ear and let me tell you that it is no fun. It started last Thursday, I went to the doctor on Friday, was in the emergency room on Sunday and back in the doctors office on Monday. I am feeling much better now but still have a wick (basically like a sponge) in my ear as my ear canal has completely swollen shut. I go back to the ENT on Monday and have the wick taken out and so that he can see how my ear is healing.

Jocelyn has a rash on her back and a little bit on her legs. She is really scratching at her back. It is a heat rash, we are putting hydrocortosine cream on it and hopefully it will be gone soon as we are planning to go back to the zoo on Labor Day. She is now wearing 3T clothes. She still soaks up everything like a sponge.

Will post pictures soon I promise
