JO JO DESTRUCTO TURNS 18 MONTHS!

Josie Mae Farr

18 months on January 31, 2010

Height: 31 inches (30%)

Weight: 21 lbs 6 oz (10%)

OFC: 18.5 (63%)

Don't let her fool you, she might look innocent, sweet, and adorable, and she is, but her nickname is Jo Jo Destructo for a reason.
She can get into and on anything and everything. Garbage cans, dryer, top bunk, drawers, cupboards, opens doors, toilets, sinks...it could go on forever. She leaves a path of destruction wherever she goes.
Her favorite word is "MINE!" Does not matter what it is, she thinks the word "MINE' defines it. At least she is pretty good about not throwing a tantrum when she finds out the indeed it is not hers.
This picture isn't great, but essential. Josie does this thing where she bends forward just a little and flips her hands back(like in above pic). It is adorable.
This picture makes her look little, but she is getting big so fast!
She still absolutely loves milk!
Josie is a master study of her siblings. She had the perfect look down that melts her daddies heart along time ago. Jo has taken to liking sitting on the bar stools with the kids. Which can be a problem when she stands up. John was trying to help her understand the danger of it by scaring her with a mock fall. Then he set her firmly on the chair and walked to the other side of the island. Jo put on the saddest pout and peeked at John through her eyelashes. It was heart wrenching even for me. John gave her a big hug. She was immediately fine and smiling again...and ready to stand on the chair as soon as he moved away.

Macy wears that same dress! In fact, you bought it for us at target a few years back!

She pulls a couple Deeken faces in these pic's. I'm soo glad Belle doesn't open toilet seats, b/c that is her fav thing to play in. If I hear laughing, I head for the bathroom.
