Wow! Well it's been a while! Where to start..I forget where I left off, but I'm sure LOTS has happened since.
Lets see...
Jocelynn had her Baptism on June the 6th. It was great. We had a little get together here after. Although it rained it turned out ok. She was awake and fine during Mass, then when her time to shine came, she fell asleep. When she was actually Baptized she woke up screaming. When the Deacon went to draw the sign of the cross on her chest we pulled the 100 year old gown down, and it tore..go figure. We tore the 100 year old gown.
To the left is Dave and Anna, they are the god parents! We love them. They both have a great relationship with Jocelynn. They come over to see her and play with her and buy her wicked cool cloths!!! We love you Nanny and Paran!
In other news..We took Jocelynn on her first visit on the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans. It happened to be my first time there as well! It was AWESOME! I loved it! The baby liked it too. We saw Penguins, and Otters. Sea Turtles, Sharks, Tuna, Jelly Fish and Sea Horses..I mean it was all there! It was great!
We also got to touch a Sting Ray!
This is the Reef Tank. It is made to symbolize how great oil rigs in the gulf are to sea life! Notice the sponsors of the Reef Tank. Besides that, The reef tank is really cool. Although most of the sea life in it was destroyed for hurricane Katrina, they are building it back up.
Jocelynn has started crawling, and just recently she is pulling herself up. I cannot believe she is 6 months old already. She weighs 16lbs 13oz, and its 26 1/2".
Oh, I almost forgot. Since the family has invested in a motor home we have been campings fools! Well we've been twice in the past month or so. WE LOVE IT! We go to a little campground in Bay St. Louis. We camp with some close friends of ours and it's like a mini-vacation. It's awesome to relax at the pool and just not do anything!
So that's about it, I guess. We are just waiting for our trip to Boston! Can't wait!
We've mastered the tummy to back roll...today she rolled from her back to tummy! I can't believe it. Yesterday I really noticed a "laugh" and today she rolls! It's amazing how fast things come at you.
You can see the video here!
I havn't posted in a while and for no good reason.
We have been really busy. Getting Jocelynn's Baptism in order, getting the camper ready for it's maiden voyage. Just daily life...and I must say how fast time is going by now-a-days!
First of all I can't believe in 2 days will be May 1st! Jocelynn is coming up to 5 months old, Zane and I made 3 years this past month and Nathan is getting SOOOO OLD!
So first Jocelynn's Baptism is scheduled for June 6th. We have having the celebration here at our house. 50-60 people will be invited. Dave and Anna are the godparents. I am so excited for it. My theme for the celebration is "I am Jesus' Little Lamb." We have the menu planned and the invites typed up. All I have to do is print out the invites and mail them. The cake I want is a 2 tier white butter cream with a lamb topper that has somewhere on it Jocelynn's name and the saying "I am Jesus' Little Lamb"
My mom is coming down! We cannot wait! I am so psyched. We have plans to go to Grand Isle but since the oil rig blew up in the gulf I'm hoping it doesn't disturb out mini vacation! If we can't go there maybe we can go camp somewhere else, but it is Memorial Day weekend. I have been cleaning the camper for the past 4 nights...I think I have finally got most of the stank out. I've been a carpet cleaning fool!
I had Jocelynn at the Dr. for her pulling at her ears. Turns out her ears are fine and she is healthy as can be. But we did get her weighed she is 15lbs 3oz! I can't believe how big she is getting!
Lately she has been doing the normal things. We are working on sitting up. I've noticed the past few days she has a little laugh...it's so cute. Kind of a lull right now with that.
Anyways, that's all to report! Keep checking back!!!

I have FINALLY received the password to the professional pictures we took a couple weeks ago!!! If you go here and click on "proofing" the password is jocelynn. The pictures will be online for 3 months. I am so psyched! ENJOY!
WOW! I can't believe it! It has already been 4 months! As of right now she weighs 14lbs 8 oz, and is 24" long! At her 4 month well-baby visit everything is going good. She got her shots and is growing strong!
She is hardcore teething but no teeth yet. As for milestones she rolls over, gives kisses and loves to smile!
We are working on sitting up. She can sit on her own for only a few seconds so we are getting there!
So I did it! We made the decision to go to cloth diapers. I'm using prefolds and covers and wraps. I haven't totally made the transition on Jocelynn yet becuase I only have 12 diapers right now. I am so excited. I can only imagine all the money we are going to save! No running out for diapers or worrying about not having any diapers!
For those of you that haven't seen cloth diapers now a days, they are not like the old times! There are NO pins, I use a little "T" shaped rubber thing called a "Snappie." The Snappie makes it SUPER easy to keep the diaper snug and tight.
With the prefold choice of diapers there is some "learning" that needs to be done by whoever is going to be changing Jocelynn's diapers. There are many different "folds" you can do, but you don't have to know origami to fold them! I use an unbleached Chinese prefold. There are MANY videos on Youtube that talk about cloth diapering.
For covers I chose for now to go with Thirsties covers and I have 1 Thirsties Duo wrap.
I do plan on getting a couple "All-In-Ones" diapers. Essentially they are just like disposables as far as there is no folding involved, but you don't throw them away. Extra easy for those that don't want to deal with folding.
I am so psyched we chose to do this. I wanted to since I was pregnant and was so shied away from it, but deep down I knew I wanted to cloth diaper and I am doing it. I figure if I can breast feed I can do ANYTHING!
