My mom and I took Jocelyn to the department store yesterday to have some 3-month-old pictures taken. I was so excited about it. What I didn’t count on were all of the families there having Christmas pictures taken (duh), and that the crowds would be that much worse over the weekend (again, duh). So, it really shouldn’t have come as a shock when we found out that they were running over an hour behind schedule.

Thankfully, Josie spent most of the wait time asleep in her stroller, but eventually we had to deal with a messy diaper change and quick meal in the store. The portrait session itself went okay. She was a bit more bothered by the whole scene than I expected, but we captured some cute moments nevertheless. All’s well that ends well, I guess.

Tonight after we got home from going back to the store to look at proofs, Josie was up babbling and smiling at us for the better part of an hour. I love that she actually says “goo goo gaa gaa.” Besides being a lot more vocal, over the past week or two she has started being able to grab some of her toys (in order to put them in her mouth, of course). She even rolls over occasionally and insists on being held in a sitting position as much as possible.

I’m amazed at how active and expressive she is. I think I pictured us with a quiet, mellow baby — and I guess I equated mellow with “good” in my mind. Turns out that we love Josie’s wiggly, busy, chatty personality. She’s been a very good baby… although she’s anything but mellow.
