Janey's been taking advantage of her tummy time lately. Shockingly, she's showing signs of crawling. She's got the foot movement down and can push her self forward with just her legs, but she tends to do so on her forehead. It's pretty funny. She hasn't figured out how to use her arms yet, but we encourage her because it makes us laugh.

Also, in some sort of freak accident, she rolled over last night for the first time. While hanging out on her tummy, I had turned to watch some tube when I saw a quick movement out of the corner of my eye, and there she was on her back! We tried to get to replicate it, but no luck. It was a legit roll over though and we're marking it down in the baby book as such! However we recognize that it was likely an anomalous event

Just because I love the pics

Update!

Since I've gone back to work, the posts have been few and far between and I apologize for that. Since the last post, Janey's weight gain has been impressive! She's eating like a champ and we have put the weight issues behind us.

Janey did pick up her first cold. She's been battling it for about a week. It's mostly consisted of the sniffles, but other than that she's still sleeping well at night and is generally a really happy baby.

A couple of weeks ago, grammy and Grandpa David came up to Stumptown to visit their granddaughter. As is always the case, I managed to get sick just before they came to town, so our activities were somewhat limited by the fact that I felt like poo.

Nevertheless, grammy and grandpa got a chance to meet Janey and hangout with the family's newest edition. They spent most of the time holding, feeding, and singing to Janey. Bean loved the singing and it's something that Kari and I continue to do for her. Of course, when we get lazy we just crack open iTunes and turn on some music for her. To date she's been exposed to the Beatles, Amos Lee, the Stones, Beans (of course), and Blitzen Trapper. She's love them all, but I think she's partial to the SGT Peppers!

For Halloween we traveled down to Eugene and spent the weekend with Kari's brother-in-law. We didn't get to go trick or treating, but Janey did go to her first live football game. Just like her Cousin Jack, we opted to start slow and give her a taste of small-time football before we step up and take her to a duck game. Although that time is coming as we are slated to go to the Arizona v UO game in a couple of weeks. She'll spend this weekend relaxing before she has to get set for her first visit to Autzen. Can't wait!
