Pull-Up Game

Well, it's not really a game, per se, but it's just as fun as one watching and helping Jessica learn new things. Her latest "trick" looks like this: She's lying on her back trying to sit up by lifting her head off the floor. We help her out by holding her hands and gently pulling on her arms. She pulls herself the rest of the way, accelerating just to get her hands into her mouth! Russ and I play the "pull-up game" with her often because she's so funny to watch - I wish I could post a video here! She just loves to be upright, looking around and enjoying the new view from that position.

She is also trying to roll over! The other morning when we went to get her in her crib, we found her like this (I think she's been trying to roll towards the Lion):


Her feet were almost trapped between the slats!! Many times when I get up to feed her in the middle of the night she has been completely perpendicular to her crib.

It's pretty amazing how quickly she is developing. Last week we noticed she was trying to reach for things and now she reaches and grabs everything. The lion in the picture above lights up and sings when you pull his blue "tail"...last night at 4:30 in the morning we heard the lion come on a couple of times! Needless to say, we've had to move it so she doesn't "play" in the middle of the night! And now she just loves playing with her toys in her bouncy chair, now that she can actually reach for them!!

That's it for now!! =) Until the next "trick"....
