10 months

Janie turned 10 months last Saturday, the 28th.

Here's what she's been up to in the last month :)

• Probably the biggest thing is that she'll stand on her own for about 10 seconds at a time.  I meant to put this in her 9 month post because she actually started this last month.  We're afraid she'll be walking before we know it, but we are not really encouraging her at all, so maybe not..haha.  It's funny because she'll realize she's standing on her own after a bit and then slowly kneel down to the ground.  It's like she's nervous when she realizes.  I remember Aiden used to do that too. 

• She's been a little more clingy in the last month.  She may be starting the whole stranger danger thing.  She'll come pull herself up on my legs, begging to be picked up..haha.  Pretty stinking adorable :)

• She's gotten another tooth up top, so now she has 3 on top, 2 on bottom.  I'm surprised more haven't come in on bottom because I've been able to feel them under her gums for a while now.  Unfortunately, she's uses pretty much anything to teethe on - just gnawing away ;)

• She's still into everything and pulls herself onto everything!!!

Every time we put the movies away, she almost immediately pulls them all back out..haha.

She always rushes to the fridge when we open it ;)

And when we were putting groceries away the other night, she actually stepped up into the fridge :)

Still always climbing onto the dishwasher ;)

• This girl has discovered the toilet paper and has already unrolled it several times :/  Oh my, it's so annoying to try to get it wrapped again b/c it's not possible to get it the way it ever was!! I need to start closing the bathroom doors!

• And little missy still LOVES to eat!!  She doesn't really want anything to do with baby food and just wants what Aiden's eating :)

I gave her avocado for the first time this last month and she made such a mess!  If you zoom into this picture you can see that her face is actually green from smooshing avocado all over..haha.  Not even sure how much made it into her mouth.

Here are some more pictures.

Aiden has started wrestling with Janie and she mostly just goes with it.  She puts up with a lot..haha.

Trent asked me to send a picture of Janie one day while we were out shopping (Aiden was playing with Grandma Knuckles).  Little poser :)

She was so funny sitting up in her seat for a little bit :)

We got Aiden a new puzzle and Janie crawled right onto the middle of it..haha.

I didn't get around to putting up a Valentine's post, so here are some pics.  I knew I wanted to find Janie some heart sunnies since I have some of my own ;)

I love hearts!

I posted this one on Instagram :)

Janie at Grandma and Grandpa Christensen's.

My mom got a little bike for Aiden at a garage sale, but he wasn't too interested, so we put Janie on ;)

My pretty girl when we went to the park.

This was a different day and little miss fell asleep on the walk home from the park :)

Trent left a little trail of Kix for Janie on the coffee table..haha.

It cracks me up that babies use their whole hand to get food into their mouth..haha.

Those eyes, you guys!

Grocery shopping buddies.

I turned the camera so she could see herself..haha.

So Janie has this sweatsuit and we think she's pretty stinking adorable in it ;)  I insist on putting her hood on because it makes it that much cuter!

Little cutie at Grandma and Grandpa Knuckles'.  She LOVES to go outside.

One night before I put Janie to bed.  She has such sleepy, puppy dog eyes :)

One day Janie fell asleep sitting up in her crib during her morning nap.  Aiden did this a few times too!  I pulled her legs out from under her after this pic ;)

Got lots of sleeping photos this month!  They're just so peaceful :)

Look at that little belly ;)

Her Valentine's jammies.

9 months

Miss Janie turned 9 months last Wednesday, the 28th, but we didn't make it in for her check-up until yesterday.  She is weighing in at 18 pounds 5 ounces (50th percentile) and is 28.5 inches long (77th percentile).  She had to have her finger pricked and get two shots in her thigh.  I posted this first picture on Instagram.  I got a picture of her before her shots (our doctor had given her popsicle sticks to distract her) and after.  She's just as cute when she's crying.  Love her!

Showing off her sparkly bandaids at home :)

Here's what Jane Jane's been up to in the last month:

• Oh my goodness, she is into everything!!!  She keeps us on our toes ;)

Taking all of the silverware out of the dishwasher.

I have since moved that bowl..haha.

• She is also climbing ON everything.

Including Aiden..haha.

Look at her all proud on the dishwasher..ha.

I was surprised this day when I found her on the chair.

And another day on the hallway table.

• Her top front teeth are really coming through and I can feel more coming on the bottom.

You can see those goofy top teeth if you click on this pic ;)

• I've finally started putting Janie in the shopping cart instead of always hoisting her around in her car seat.  I don't know why I waited so long!

Her first time was in Costco.  She was very serious the entire time..haha.

Thank goodness big brother was right beside her :)

Then I tried out putting her in the car cart with Aiden at the grocery store.  I had to put up this pic because Aiden "roared" at the camera right as I was taking the pic..hahaha.

• Janie will pretty much eat anything and everything.  In fact, it seems like she's always on the hunt for food..haha.

Sometimes she gets so messy and it drives me nuts!  This night she kept grabbing onto the spoon when I'd bring it to her mouth..grrr!

Haha, I totally caught Janie with one of Aiden's chicken nuggets in her mouth and another in her hand!!  She found his plate on the bench.

And another day she found his crackers up on the coffee table!  I guess she's telling me she's ready for more solids..haha.

Here are some more pictures:

This was actually supposed to go in last month's post, but sometimes Janie will go missing for a little bit and we'll find her in Aiden's room..haha.  She knows where to find the toys ;)

This is just a little video of the kids.  I was washing our bedding and they were loving the bed in the meantime.  I love Janie's little cackle laugh at about 13 seconds.  You'd almost miss it. 

Love these stinkers.  Too bad Aiden blinked..haha.

Just her eyes peeking over :)

She's such a beauty :)

We were watching a movie.  Seriously, how cute is she??

She's always checking on Aiden during his bath ;)

I love that you can see Aiden's shark diving in this one..haha.

This cracked me up.  Janie didn't even mind because she could still see out of her one eye..haha.

She has really been cheesin' lately :)

These next two pictures make me laugh.  First this one.  I love that she was clenching her fists.

Then this.  It's all about her eyes..haha.

Posing.

Just one sleeping one.  Love that little hand.
