First Kiss

Jack FINALLY gets close enough to give Dani a kiss.

But needs to work on his aim!

Sitting up (with a little help)

Jack finally got close enough to give his sister a kiss. It really wasn't that he was trying to show her he loved her. He wanted the attention we were giving her and jumped in the middle and kissed her after I kissed her. Then he laughed, made us laugh and wanted to do it over and over again to make sure he had our full attention. It worked. He's a crafty little devil!

For her part, Dani just thinks her brother is a pretty cool guy. She is always watching him whenever he is around. She loves to look at him. We think that this bodes well for their future relationship--Jack loves being adored and it appears that Dani is going to do just that! Now we have to work on making that feeling mutual.

Dani is getting more and more fun as the days go on. The poor girl has a terrible little cold and is very stuffy and congested. But you wouldn't know it from the way she is acting. For the last five nights now, she has slept from 10 until AT LEAST 5 and the past two nights made it to 6 and this morning, she made it to 7! Atta girl, Dani! Just in time for Mommy to go back to work! She's not a great napper but she's not on much of a schedule so maybe that will improve. Or maybe she'll be like her Mommy and just be a bad napper!

Dani really loves to interact with people already. She will stare at you and listen to you talk and she smiles her big goofy grin like crazy. She's also trying to talk back quite a bit. She's already proving to be a little chatterbox. I wonder if we will be able to handle it if she's as chatty as Jack--two motormouths going at once! I look forward to her sitting up and I think she is looking forward to that too, but she doesn't know it yet. She likes being able to use her body (even if it is pretty limited). She loves to lay on her playmat and look at the animals dangling. The purple elephant is her favorite. I think she's really going to think that the Exersaucer is cool too, once she can go in it--sitting up AND playing! We'll think it is pretty cool too, because right now she wants to be held a lot (which is understandable) but sometimes our arms need a break and she doesn't find the places we put her down to be all that stimulating! I get the feeling that she's going to like to observe and see and learn new things just like Jack. I sure hope so!
