Standing room only

She stands...or she did once and now still hasn't figured out how to do it again. Jensen has been trying to pull herself up on things, but is pretty much satisfied when she gets up on her knees and can see. However, yesterday during her bath (of all places) she figured it out and she was standing.



As you can see she was pretty proud of herself. Davis and Aggie were rather impressed too! She hasn't matched the feat yet but she sure is trying. She has been hampered by her growing upper teeth though. They have been bugging her all weekend and are slowly making their appearance.

But for now, we're biding our time until we're in for it. Soon she'll be walking...and then running - just in time for summer :)

Getting pretty good with this video stuff.

Here's another video for you all. Jensen and I were playing after dinner the other night and thought we'd share. I am thinking one of the next videos will be of her standing. She's starting to "crawl" in a downward facing dog position...hands and feet on the floor. She finds it very entertaining.

But for now you just get peek-a-boo with the curtains. Fun times at the Goodell house! I missed getting her royal fit on tape from the other night. I was trying to get some photos of her for her birthday invitation and she was NOT having it! She threw herself around and cried actual tears! Poor baby. She went down for a nap shortly thereafter! ha ha!

My baby is so smart!

"So, I know everyone says their kid is gifted...well I know that mine is." This is a Real Housewives of NY reference...not sure if y'all get it! If you get a chance to check it out on Bravo - Alex is a piece of work...especially how she feels about her kids. Anyway, Marc gets it. Ha ha. But it is the premise of my story today.

But I was amazed this morning about how much Jensen is understanding these days. She's really getting the "No" concept down which is great. But beyond that she knows what's going on. This morning we were playing and she started to rub her eyes so I asked her if she was ready for her bottle. She quickly looked to the couch where her bottle was in the cup holder, and then back at me. I said, "Let's have your bottle. Go get it." So she crawled over to the couch, got on her knees...realized she wasn't close enough to get to the bottle, got down crawled over a little and then got up again. She grabbed her bottle out of the cup holder and tried to put in her mouth. She was thwarted however by the top, but I was still so proud! She knew exactly where it was and how to get to it! She's a genius I tell you! Just kidding! No genius here, but definitely a little girl that's absorbing EVERYTHING around her!

TEN Months!

Wow. I know, I know. I keep saying how fast she's growing but it's so true! She's becoming a little girl...and it makes me long for her newborn days (not the 3:00 am feeding though!) when she was so soft and alert and was just discovering things. Of course, she's still discovering many things...like how to get herself unstuck from the bottom of her exersaucer, but you know what I mean!

We all got hit this last week and a half with daycare germs! Yuck...Jensen brought home a very nasty cold that we are all finally getting over. She is back to normal and Marc and I are almost there. Hopefully by this weekend we'll be as good as new.

Jensen is waving all the time now. In fact, she loves to wave to herself in the mirror in the car. She gets SO excited when she gets in her carseat and sees herself in the mirror. She starts to laugh and wave frantically. I don't think she realizes she's waving to herself but it gives her so much pleasure why burst her bubble?
