Not much going on....

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!!!

Professional Pics!!

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!

Jocelynn is 4 months old!

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!

Cloth Diapering!

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!

Easter

Jocelynn's first Easter was great!  Sticking with tradition I hid the Easter Baskets and not to my surprise Zane found them with ease!! Jocelynns basket was bigger then she is but she LOVED it!  It was full of toys and teethers, rattles and jamies!  I just love the basket it self!  After finding and opening the baskets we had breakfast and just hung out until the evening when we went over Zanes parents house.  It was nice just to hang out the 3 of us...

Jocelynn's first Easter dress was too cute!  She wore a yellow and green dress with white sandles and a big green flower in her hair!  She just looked so cute!

 Well Memere and Pawpaw hooked Jocelynn up with a NEW toy and she LOVES it!!  It's a jumper!
