Cribs, Changing Tables and Coos

Jovie is really developing some cute habits! She loves to be on her changing table (usually), and really smiles and talks to us when she's up there.

We are also trying to get her to say "Mama" and "Dada" - may be a bit of healthy competition :) - and she LOVES it! When we say either word, she gives us a big grin! Her whole face breaks into a smile, and she makes a lot of movements with her mouth. She's not really close to saying anything, but we appreciate and vigorously encourage the attempts.
She loves when we interact with her in general, whether she's in her bouncy seat, on her blanket, etc. She'll stare at our mouths and faces while we talk to her, and she smiles and tries to imitate us a lot. She sticks out her tongue more times than I can count each day. :)

And, she's starting to sleep a lot more at night! For the past week or so, she has slept between seven and nine hours each night. So, we've started to put her in her crib. First, she took naps there. Now, she's sleeping there at night. It makes me a little sad, but happy too. And, her first night in the crib, she slept for ten hours. Yay, Jovie!

This is her first nap in the crib.
Her other favorite thing to do in her crib is stare, laugh and talk at her mobile. She does that for several minutes on end. She loves it!

Jovie is developing into an even sweeter and cuter baby, if that's possible! I'd love to freeze this stage, if we could. But we're excited to see what new things she learns, too, as she grows.
