Sorry, this post is SO overdue! We received the news that the Davidson-Rothmans will indeed be jetting over to Paris for a stint while Jeff takes a terrific new job, so things have been a blur! Josie is ON THE MOVE -- crawling, pulling herself to stand, experimenting with standing unsupported. She eats almost everything: mac and cheese, chicken, bread, even a bit of ice cream in Oak Bluffs which she just found much too cold. She has 7.5 teeth, and a new "Social smile", that indicates not merely that she's happy about something, but that she's smiling at you - it's totally hilarious. She says "Ball," "up," and "Da," but "mama" is still a bit slow/questionable.
We had a wonderful vacation in Martha's Vineyard with Gram and Pops, both Jeff and I unplugged from work and played tennis, swam, went to the beach, ate lobsters, read (a bit) and of course watched the Repub convention news with relish. Jeff turned 36 and we celebrated both with a fancy dinner in Edgartown and a lobster dinner at home with everyone. Josie loved spending so much time with Gram and Pops, and it was just a great time. Now, back to work, I'm working through the election writing, and Jeff will start his new job in Paris Oct. 1! Very exciting stuff. LOTS of photos in 2 new galleries!
