One day until JoJo's first birthday (party at grandma's!), and we had three big events: Birthday pictures, a new crib, and mommy's return from California.
The times on the picture appointment were changed, and instead of 11 o'clock, after morning nap, our time was moved to 10, in the middle of nap time. The pictures turned out great, but the girls at Flash had to work extra hard because every time we got JoJo set up, she would either start crying or crawl/slide over to me. But, as usual, she looked very cute (www.flashportraits.com - search for my last name, password is her first name).
Mom returned around 8, and JoJo hasn't let her go since. She's walked to me, but she keeps going back, and she's smiling ear to ear.
The crib was given to us by Jon and Jenni Burgess, friends of my brother and his wife. JoJo has always cried when placed in the playpen I've been using as a bed, but she wanted to go into the crib and loved pulling herself up by the bars UNTIL she jumped up and down too much and the crib door bounced with her! It scared her so much she cried and wanted out, but she soon recovered and went back in (without as much bouncing!).
JoJo is also developing some fun food habits. As mentioned below, she has come to love blueberries. The last few days, however, she has started to eat the meat of the berry then spit the skin out. She loves pieces of chicken, bread, and chips, but she did not like the roasted garlic hummas that she helped herself to! Daddy was eating the hummas with pita bread, and all she was getting was bread, so she reached out and took some. She could not spit it out fast enough!
She has stopped protesting when I put her in the high chair, and she has gotten really good a putting her hands up to be picked up instead of whining (which is very nice!). We're working on "all done," "hungry," and other baby signs, but "pick me up right now!" is the only one she's caught on to.
