Baby J's Road Trip

We just returned from a quick road trip to see Baby J's cousins.  The twins are 3 today and my oldest nephew will be 7 in a couple days.   Baby J does pretty good traveling and for the most part sleeps in the car.
While out of state we went to the aquarium and Baby J actually stayed awake the whole time.  We had our very first major blowout of her diaper and I feel horrible...I'm hoping it's not related to taking her into the hotel pool (which really isn't the cleanest pool).

Baby J can now sit unassisted and even catches herself most of the time if she starts to fall sideways.  She sometimes still falls backwards though, but we are very excited she is sitting this week on her own.   That was our Rainbows (early childhood) goal.   She eats like CRAZY and is now finishing a container of baby food at every sitting.  Unless she is asleep she now sits in the high chairs at restaurants (though she is a little wobbly in them).  She is very happy though to sit at the table.  It's amazing how many restaurants though that have high chairs that do not fit their tables.

Baby J is eating stage 2 foods as well, but she is definitely not ready for anything very thick or real food.  I tried to give her a mashed banana at lunch today and it was to chunky.

On Monday, we went to get our pictures taken for the hospital charity thing from where she started out.    It's the care line that gave me money for food and gas so I could be up at the hospital more.   Baby J (and I guess me) will be part of their fundraising campaign.  I'm excited to see the final product that will go out.  It was a lot of fun taking pics and we got lots of compliments because she did so well.

Other than that we are keeping busy with rehearsals, playing and learning.  I can't wait till the summer when I get to spend more time with her.  She's getting pretty good at moving around in her walker.   I'm sure she will be crawling as well...soon.  She is starting to pull herself along.    I do wish her teeth would come in as she is pretty fussy sometimes and I know they are driving her insane.  Poor baby.  Chews on everything.  oh and we are officially in 3-6 month clothing...probably won't be for long.
Hopefully everyone got to enjoy the nice weather this week.  I know Baby J did some with our Aunt.
