Our chunky monkey, aka JoJo, is 3 months old but we both feel like she's been here for longer she's such an integral part of the family. At her check-up the other day she weighed 14 pounds 3 ounces and was 25 inches long. I can't believe how big she is already! For the most part she was very pleasant at the doctor's office. She even gave the doctor a smile as she pressed on her herniated belly button to feel for the size of the defect. However, the minute the doctor flipped JoJo onto her belly all hell broke loose. JoJo was so desperate to escape the clutches of her perceived enemy that she was doing a commando crawl across the examination bed. Of course this didn't help her in any way but the rest of us got a good laugh at her expense. JoJo has also started reaching for toys and using her little fists to bat at them which is fun to watch.
Alex definitely loves her little sister though she can be jealous of her at times. For the most part though Alex makes sure JoJo gets kisses all of the time and has even started to play with her a little more...though this mostly involves lying down next to her or sitting next to her since JoJo is still kind of just a little blob of a person. It will be an exciting day when the two girls can play together. JoJo is also very interested in Alex and watches most everything she does with great curiosity. About a month ago I noticed JoJo noticing Alex for the first time which was so cute. She just looked up at her smiling as if to say "Hey! I recognize you!"
That's it for now. I just wanted to give a little update on Miss Josephine. She's blossoming into the happiest baby who is even letting us sleep, God bless her.
