The Thrill of Victory and The Agony of Defeat

This was an interesting week with Juju...
Tuesday, we stayed at her house and played with the little red piano and her new jumping seat thing (I bought it and don't know what it's called). She was somewhat content with playing today. She sat in her big girl high chair and had cereal. Some of it actually went into her mouth!
Wednesday thru Friday...
Juju came to Gigi's house after being picked up and each day we took a little drive. I talked to her the whole time and sang to her and she slept.
On Wednesday, we tried bananas in her cereal and I may as well put a lemon in it with the face she made! So, we will try bananas again another day. She took an awesome nap on Poppy's side of the bed anchored with a cat on each side of her. It was beautiful. This week she is really starting to reach for me and it melts my heart.
She loves the song "Itsy Bitsy Spider" but I changed the words to "Icky Bitsy Spider" because Gigi does not like spiders. She's cool with it.

I put her in her little umbrella stroller and, although our house is pretty small, I pushed her stroller around the house and wherever I went. She was quite amused.
She is more and more alert each day. It is such a cool transformation to watch.
I started winking at her and she cracked up. So, that's our new thing.

Today, we picked her and her mommy up and went to breakfast. She made eye contact with everyone and smiled the whole time. Poppy fed her breakfast to her and, it was so special, she stared up at him the whole time. Not sure if it was because she adores him, which I'm sure she does, or she was mesmerized by the weird hat he had on with his sunglasses on top!
Life is great with Juju!
