Fancy Baby!

On Friday, I passed my prospectus defense, which is exciting.  We had to celebrate, so we took Jane to the fanciest restaurant in Waco, which also happens to be our favorite. Based on the enthusiastic greeting of the staff, I don't think they see a lot of babies in there.  I was a little nervous, but Janie conducted herself beautifully even though we kept her up a bit past her bedtime.

Jane's Smile

 I'm pretty sure I have already done a post entitled "Jane's Smile," but we are so overwhelmed and blessed by her beautiful smile everyday that it's impossible not to take pictures of it.  Lately, she smiles all the time, and also laughs and squeals in delight.  She loves just smiling back and forth with us and with anyone she meets, and she loves going out and seeing the world.

Cutest Video Ever: Rolling Over

This is such a perfect video of Janie's rapidly developing skill of rolling over and also of her beautiful smiles!

New Tricks

Standing...sort of

Eating...sort of

Grabbing her feet

Walking on Daddy's feet

Forming a bridge

Holding a ball with all four limbs at once

Rolling over (see next two)

Crib Mobility

Seems harmless

I just like to push against the slats, Mommy

But then, legs all the way through the slats, and baby is trapped

This is how we found out that Jane could move around the crib, and why we have a crib bumper now.  We're still not really sure exactly how she moves, but she turns all the way around and travels from one end of the crib to the next.   The bumper solved the problem of the slats. 

Now, she wakes up because she turns over onto her stomach, which is about the cutest and funniest thing ever.  She can't figure out how to turn back to her back and cries out for help in the middle of the night.  A few times now she's managed to sleep through turning over, and we've found her peacefully sleeping on her stomach, which made us a little nervous.
