This is what happened after I said “NO!” when she was gnawing on the table. Oh boy oh boy. We’re going to have our hands full pretty soon.
Zoe and Janie

Zoe came over today for Chinese New Year dinner. She’s still learning how to sit up and it looks like Janie’s trying to help.
Janie’s also learning how to be the big girl of the pack. She’s usually the youngest but not tonight! Look at the confusion on her face as Zoe’s chatting-it-up with her.

Can’t wait for these two to start playing together!!
Peek-a-Boo!

Looks like someone’s mastered the art of Peek-a-Boo!
Baby Rhyme Time

Janie goes to the library for Baby Rhyme Time almost every Thursday morning at 10:15. Mirian says that she had a good time today without crying. I think she usually gets grouchy because it’s close to her 11:00 feeding but I guess she’s learning to enjoy herself now.

Anyway, it looks like she’s actually trying to shake the bells with everyone. It’s funny how she’s really paying attention to what the library lady is doing.
Pull to Stand

She makes it look so easy. Janie can pull to stand at 9 months of age! Textbook.
Swinging!

On our walk with Koa this evening, we waited for Daddy at South Park, which is on his way home. She got to swing for a while and still gets so excited! Here’s a little snippet of all the fun:

Now that she can pull to stand, Janie can do a full-on protest at bedtime. Oh goody.
I love my shovel!

I gave Kumquat a shovel and pail today and she loved the shovel. It’s so cute how she waves it in the air. It’s as if she’s singing a little “I love my shovel” song in her head.
Fake Crawling

Here’s Janie’s version of crawling right now. It’s not too coordinated right now but she can get from Point A to Point B.
