Our Mischievious Little MoNsTeR

Well Jocelyn continues to entertain us.  She is getting so smart and cuter if that is even possible but clearly it is.  Here is just an update of her progress and shenanigans.

We discovered that Jocelyn enjoys a good massage.  This can come in handy during Sacrament Meeting.  It calms her down.

 

We also learned that Jocelyn enjoys writing utensils.  I often give Jocelyn pens to play with.  They are a perfect fit for her little hands and she loves to hold them and move them around.  I like to call them her wands.  Expelliarmus!  Well recently she discovered how to take the caps off.  It was probably more out of chance that she got them off but she did it nonetheless.  Here is what I found.

You might have to enlarge the picture to see the ink on her cheek.  Clever girl.

Jocelyn is also able to sit up on her own.  She can last for several minutes and then usually topples over or  moves to a new position. 



With that being said, Jocelyn is getting really close to crawling.  It's crazy.  This past weekend she figured out how to get on her hands and knees and I nearly burst into tears.  I figure within a week she'll have it.  She has also learned how to growl like a monster.  You will see both in this next video.

Sorry this is so long.  Don't feel the need to watch to the end.

And lastly comes a silly picture from this morning.  Jocelyn discovered her little frog friend on the back of her chair.  And yes, she has learned to turn herself around in her chair. I guess we'll need to actually start using the straps.  And in other news, we will be lowering her bassinet seeing as she can now get up on her hands and knees in her bed.  Yikes, she is getting too big, too fast.
