Josie Lyn Five Months Old
Here are some baby pictures of us all. First is our little Josie who will be 5 months old on Monday. The next photo is Savannah at 5 months old and then Tabitha at 5 months. Next is me at about 2 1/2 months and last is David at about 2 months old. It's fun to see us all as babies and the family resemblance! Pretty fun! Below are some pictures that I took of Josie this morning. She will be 5 months old on Monday the 12th. She is just so precious. We all love her to the extreme! She is the happiest, smiliest, chillest baby ever. She is super easy to take care of and loves to cuddle. The past four nights she has slept 10-11 hours straight through the night and the past two nights she has fallen asleep on her own. I just swaddle her (leaving one arm out) and make sure she is fed, then lay her in her bed and without even a fuss she goes to sleep! It's like magic. She brings so much joy to our home and her big sissies love her!
The Iowa State Fair
They loved it! They put so much produce in their baskets though that it all kept falling out!
Me and Savannah at the end of the giant slide! Super fun!
David and Savannah on one of the rides together. It's one that goes round and round. The g-forces push you to the outside of the seat. After the ride started he realized he should have had Savannah on the inside instead of the outside. He had be careful not to smash her! :-)
Gotta love this face!!
And yes, we did indulge in some over the top food from the fair. The corn dogs were enormous and we loved the funnel cakes. Yummo! Thanks for a fantastic time Iowa State Fair!

Summer so far in Iowa
And now for some recent updates from our Summer so far here in Iowa. Boy has it been hot this past week! We've been 99 degrees the past 3 days with a heat index of 106! Whew, we've been playing in doors a lot. The girls are happy and well and play pretty well together. Josie is the sweetest angel baby and hardly makes a fuss unless she is hungry or tired. She is our chunky monkey and is always willing to give a smile!
Josie at 2 months old.
Josie Lyn at 3 months old. When she was first born I thought she looked a lot like Tabitha but now that she is getting older we've gotten a lot of comments that she looks like Savannah and I can see it here in this picture. She definitely has her own cute look though.
Fourth of July parade here in Iowa. The girls had a blast and got tons of candy. We were lucky enough to get a spot in the shade.
And sparklers that evening! I love how Tabitha is sticking her tongue out the side of her mouth in this picture because I have a lot of pictures of me doing the same thing when I was her age!
We've been doing a lot of swimming and playing in the water. Des Moines has so many free splash pads and wading pools plus we had this awesome blow up waterslide donated to the residency program here. It's a blast!
Funny Savannah can be so sad one minute and then so happy the next! She's got a really expressive little face and is such a HAM!
Thought I'd just throw this in here. This was Savannah's attempt to put a video in the VCR! ha!
Big Sister Tabi loves to hold baby Josie. Isn't she a chunk?! Her smile melts my heart!
And finally, here's me and David, the proud parents of three little princesses who make us so happy (and tired sometimes). We love you all and hope everyone is well. We can't wait to see you all in November/December!
