New Accomplishments!

Thankfully, Jocelyn is feeling better, recovering from her ear infection. Her parents are relieved that the struggle of giving her medicine is over. I pray that she doesn't need antibiotics again for a LONG time! Her tooth is popping out even more and will probably make her even cuter-if that is even possible.. when we can see it when she smiles! She can now roll from belly to back as well as she can back to belly, so she rolls across the room sometimes- occasionally running into walls and furniture! She is also getting stronger and can stand holding onto furniture and can sit by herself for long periods of time- I still have to spot her or put her back against furniture if I walk away because she will fall over eventually. This last week, she is starting to resist her naps again. She is sooo tired, rubbing her eyes and needs to sleep, but will scream at me while I try to rock her to sleep. I will admit, Jocelyn and I BOTH had a couple of meltdowns this weekend while trying to get her to sleep. Every once and awhile she will just cry for a minute or will curl up on my lap and go right to sleep. I am so thankful for those times! When Levon tries to rock her she straightens her whole body up and yells and he gives up after about 2 minutes! Usually, Levon is the patient one out of the 2 of us... not when it comes to that!





Our big girl is also drinking from a sippy cup now! She would drink water all day long if I let her and wants a sip of everything we are drinking. I've let her try 100% juice and she makes a face and gags. In fact, she gags when I give her any fruit babyfood. On the other hand, she loves the vegetable ones! I'm happy with that! Of course, she still nurses for her primary nutrition!

Check out her cool Purdue sippy cup! Her grandpa got her a Purdue cheerleader outfit recently, but it won't fit her until she is 2. I can't wait!



Jocelyn got to visit with her girlfriend Ella last weekend. Below is a picture of them together. Ella is 3 months older and is crawling everywhere and starting to talk!! I can't believe Jocelyn is going to be doing all of that soon! In just a couple of days we will find out what Katie is having! We suspect it is a girl! We can't wait! We also can't wait for baby girl Rice to be born in just 3 months! God is blessing Jocelyn with so many new friends!!




For Jocelyn's first Easter, we went to church and then to Grandma and Grandpa Gray's for a visit. Nana got her a Hello Kitty Easter basket with some toy keys and a cross inside. She looked so precious in her dress and matching bonnet.



Here is our sweet girl holding her first Easter card from Great-Grandma in Florida with her Easter basket next to her



Jocelyn is going through what is hopefully just a stage where she is really out of sorts and not herself (very grouchy) at new places. She is to the age when stranger anxiety sometimes kicks in and she just isn't as playful and fun when we go somewhere else. Then, we get home and she is just as happy as can be, rolling around, laughing, and smiling. Either she just likes to be at her home like her mom, or it's just a stage, we aren't sure! Anyways, we love having visitors at our house so anyone who wants to see the "true" Jocelyn, please come visit us! We are almost always available!!!
