After a long, exhausting, frustrating week where Josslyn virtually got no sleep, my testimony was super strengthened today. Josslyn has been struggling sleeping. She seems super uncomfortable, we could hear her in her bed in the early morning hours just talking and singing and playing and just generally NOT sleeping. No matter how much we rocked her, gave her warm milk, read to her, she just wouldn't go back to sleep. And what was worse, she wasn't taking very good naps either. We were all frustrated with each other, short tempered, and TIRED.
Last night Josslyn slept amazing. 11 hours straight, and went easily down for her nap. It was the best night we've all had in a while and I've been in such a better mood today. Not short with her. She's been a lot quicker to smile, and hasn't whined at all. After I put her down for her nap I looked at my phone to find a text message from my sister in law asking if we had slept good last night, because my 5-year-old niece and made sure to say in her prayers last night that we all get a good night sleep. Without even knowing, or possibly understanding, how rough our week had been, a 5-year-old little girl has been able to bring peace to my home from 1000 miles away.
There is absolutely something special about that little girl and I am so grateful to have her a part of my family. And Josslyn is lucky to be able to have a cousin like that. And Josslyn sure loves her!

The Happenings
Hello Blogger World!
Josslyn had her 15 month check-up the other day so I thought I would post an update on our little joy and post a few of our activities up here in Washington. Although admittedly...I sadly haven't taken many pictures. In fact I took out the camera the other day to take a picture and it was dead and I didn't even know it. So most of these pictures are from my phone, but still awesome.
Josslyn is 15 months and almost 2 weeks old. She is absolutely the best thing about every day. She is amazing. Here are some neat things about her.
-Josslyn is 30 inches long and weighs 22 lbs. 5 oz. Both of these things are in the 50% percentile so she is just the perfect size!
-She loves to be outside. If it's sunny we have to be outside, no questions. If you put her shoes on she will stand at the door saying bye bye until you let her out.
-She is determined to do things all on her own. She won't eat unless you give her a fork and spoon and let her do it herself. Which is super messy, but always fun. In her opinion, everything can be eaten with a fork if you let her try. This also includes climbing and walking. No need to crawl or down stairs, I'll just walk. Fortunately, no major injuries yet, but I'm not counting on that lasting forever.
-She is a talker! I seriously wish I knew what she was saying. She'll give you the lecture of your life, including pointing that little finger at you and I love watching her lecture strangers the most!
-Josslyn is learning to count. She loves to count everything. Her legos, her dolls, her shoes, her bows, the stars on her shirt. Whatever you point out, she will count it. Somehow there is always three of everything. I've been working on trying to tape it, but she's into the stare at the camera when it's pulled out stage.

She seriously just carries her ball around. Sometimes she'll kick it or throw it. But mostly just carries it around.
Josslyn's favorite spot in the whole house. Will spend hours here. My mirrors are always covered in fingerprints.
Super baby!
