We played at the Hyatt today and there was so much space to roam!
Crawler
“No”
Janie understands the word “no” now. It’s kept her out of the food bowl lately. Let’s hope it lasts. Not sure I’m looking forward to when it’s time for her to start saying “no”.
Kitchen
Janie likes to hang out while Koa’s eating his kibble and we have to make sure she’s on her best behavior. I don’t think he likes being watched while he eats. She also enjoys holding onto the drawer handles lately. The kitchen is so new and fun to her right now.
Not for you…
As you know, Janie LOVES Koa and now that she’s crawling, she follows him around the house. Today she beat him to the food bowl and tried to get her hands on some. Luckily we were around to see it happen so I picked her up and we washed her hands before any of it got into her mouth.
Pooping
Lately this is what it looks like when Janie poops. I try to give her prune juice but this comes with the territory when she starts more solid foods. She has a very distinct cry when she’s pooping and she’ll stop in her tracks to get it out. Poor baby.
Little Bear
Janie loves to get up on all fours. I’m amazed at how strong her abs are when she gets in a bear crawl position! It’s like she’s doing baby yoga all night long.
She was in a pretty good mood this evening too.
I love this kid.
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.
Playful
Janie was really playful this evening. Maybe it’s the new-found freedom of semi-crawling.
She’s also learned how to balance on her knees. Look! No hands!!!
If you look closely, you can sort of see one of her teeth on the top gumline in this photo.
And thanks for letting me borrow your really cool elephant top, Sophie!! Love, Janie
Obsessed
This little girl is OBSESSED with Koa lately. Look at her trying to chase him down around the corner! Too bad she can only go so far. She started crawling two steps last night while she was on FaceTime with Yai.
