We've got teeth!




It's official! We have teeth. And we say teeth because Jaycee has not only one, but two teeth coming in. The middle, bottom teeth are coming in simultaneously and we can now see the tops of both teeth. How exciting!

When Jaycee eats from a spoon, she now bites down on top of the spoon to make sure that she doesn't miss a single bite. Sweat peas didn't go over so well, but the rice cereal mixed with any juice is always a sure hit in Jaycee Land.

The other day after Jaycee got out of her bath, she had a mohawk starting, so we thought we'd take some pics of that too. Too cute. She has also been sitting upright on her own. She doesn't quite have all the balance figured out, but we're getting there. She also discovered her toes as chew toys once she sat upright. She leans forward and inserts her big toe directly into her mouth, just like a little monkey.

Naps? Who needs those?


We thought we'd post some pictures of Jaycee from the 4th of July. She had a very cute red, white, and blue dress. She even wore sunglasses for part of the day. 

Jaycee has had a runny nose lately, along with irritability and a small cough that started today. We think her teeth are on their way in. She can't live without something, anything, in her mouth now. Hopefully she'll feel better soon. . . 

Jaycee does think she's a big girl now when it comes to her naps. She only sleeps about twice per day, and those naps are usually only 2-3 hours total. She is still sleeping through the night, but doesn't want to miss a thing during the day. We were hoping to go to Sea World this next week, but we'll postpone that visit until the flu-like symptoms have gone away.

Just Chillin'



If these pics aren't the cutest ever! Jaycee was chillin' like a villain, just watching TV. Check out the legs crossed. If she comfy or what!?

We're pretty sure Jaycee is saying, "What up, Mom?" and "How's it hanging, Dad?" That's out little girl, full of herself, that's for sure.

Creeping and crawling




Jaycee is doing wonderfully with her rice cereal eating. She now eats one bowl per day and she will soon be trying her green vegetables. She is on a mission this week as well. She is determined to crawl. She is lifting herself on her knees, pushing forward, and creeping a little way each time. She hasn't gotten the concept down of lifting her arms simultaneously, but we're sure that will soon follow. Her efforts are persistent, what a surprise. . . We are in for some serious trouble and chasing once she masters this new skill. It's amazing how quickly they change and how they automatically knows what development to try next. Before we know it, she'll be a whole different person, walking, talking, and bossing everyone around. 

Look how big she looks in her new highchair! Where's our baby?
