Janalise

Janalise has turned 8 months old and oh boy has she learned so much. We love to play peek-a-boo, she will lift the blanket up over her eyes and wait until someone asks 'where's the baby'; she puts the blanket down and laughs. She has learned that she can crawl from room to room with ease and standing on furniture is exciting! She is trying to venture from the couch to the coffee table without hands....she reaches and reaches, then falls on her padding. She goes up the stairs (with back up).

She loves play fighting with Taylan, she hits Taylan, Taylan pretends he is hurt, she laughs hysterically. She likes to pull on Andi's nose and grab her eyes. Brenaya's hair is something special, Janalise loves to touch and pull it. Pat-a-cake is one of our favorite games and she loves to dance; especially to Hannah Montana karaoke. She loves her friend in the mirror and splashing in the tub.

She has found a love for food, especially rice cereal, fruits, pasta and breads. We are still working on veggies and meats. She has upgraded to a sipping cup and straws, she loves juice and water.

She recognizes the signs for mom, dad, bubba, nae-nae and andi, milk, 'na-num' (food). We are working on water, please and love.

What a blessing she has been in our family, everyone is so excited to have her here and the love is overflowing!
