The Unique and Not-So-Terrifying Pterodactyl Raspberry Beauty Queen

As of late, Josie has been on an absolute tear.

These days she's chowing on everything from mushed up green beans to mushed up.... well, who knows what some of that stuff is, but she loves it.

But more impressively, she has recently learned a new bag of tricks.

First, crawling... but with the added twist of sounding like a wounded pterodactyl.



Next, the raspberries. My Grandpap made sure he taught me this one when I was a kid, and it's a skill I find incredibly useful in my professional career to this day.



And finally, she seems to have mastered the beauty queen wave. But unfortunately for Josie, she won't be allowed to wear make-up or pierce her ears until she's 45, so pageants are off the table.



We're working on the incredibly hysterical "raspberries while waving" combo. We'll keep ya updated on our progress.

Spontaneous Photo Shoot

This weekend was Daddy weekend, aka Sandi works all weekend so it's up to Jon to make sure Josie survives until Sunday evening.

Well, this weekend we decided to have a little spontaneous photo shoot with the ole faithful - my Droid 2. (I'm holding out until iPhone5...)

Fortunately, my subject was exquisite.

Someday all this will be mine!

What in the hell was that?

And over here we have the dining room, the patio, and the living room with exposed brick.

Hey, look. Dad finally said something funny.

And the pièce de résistance....
