Janie likes to hang out in her clubhouse right before bed. She was especially chatty this evening.

182 days
We made it to the half-way point to one year today! Janie is 26 weeks old! Hooray!!
This week, she got her second tooth (on Wed 10/17) and also started eating solids for the first time. Her first food was sweet potato and I think she enjoys the whole process of eating, playing with the food, and chewing on the spoon. She’s sitting up nice and tall now and was trying her best to roll from back to front today but hasn’t quite mastered it.
She can get around to her side and throws her top leg and arm over but then gets stuck. It’s ok…it’ll happen soon enough.
Here’s a video I took during our weekly photo shoot. I love this kid. Click here if you can’t see the video above.
Tickles and Giggles
Babies from 3-6 months of age are often considered the Gigglers because of their greater tendency to socialize, smile, and giggle. This was certainly true for our Little Janie. This was the time when she started to really enjoy our company, smiled at people through FaceTime, and got her first belly laughs. This video is an example of how she’s learned to anticipate my behaviors and actions and we got lots of giggles out of this game.

Belly Laughs
We hear Janie laugh or giggle most days but tonight we heard some real belly laughs. What’s so funny? Well, Koa is, apparently. I was sitting behind her when it happened so you can’t really see her face but you can hear the laughs and it’s awesome.

Playing on the Couch
This is how we spend a lot of our mornings. I take care of stuff around the house while Janie plays with her toys. She’s gotten a lot better at sitting but still needs some pillow bumpers because she’s still a little tippy to the sides.

Parachute
Janie’s loved this game since she was very young and somehow it hasn’t gotten old with her. This was taken today (at 24 weeks of age) and you can clearly see that this game can go on for quite a while still. I posted this for Uncle Jason, who also got a kick out of this the first time he saw it in action.

No more boogies!
After a week of boogies and difficulty sleeping at night, our little girl is back to her happy self. Phew.

Sick but Still Happy
It’s great to see how resilient our baby girl is even when she has a cold.

Raspberries
I came home today to a baby with a runny nose so I gave her a soothing bath. It seemed to work because she was happy afterward and started to blow raspberries. Funny girl.

Morning Playtime
I think it’s cute when she plays alone. She makes sounds and entertains herself quite well.
