This little standing turkey loves her ABCs.

This month has brought the arrival of two more teeth, which gnaw on everything in sight. She is especially fond of eating the corners off of any books she can get ahold of. We have to limit her paper pulp intake to one teaspoon a day.

This is also a baby who is ready to walk! Juniper is standing, moving from one object to another, dancing, holding her arms up in the air, presenting us with objects, and playing with more curiosity and rigor than ever.

She is a very smiley baby, who reportedly hugs and kisses all her friends at daycare. Yes, we have a little lovebug on our hands, which is great until she starts kissing strangers. Then, we'll have to have a talk. I'm already playing it out in my head. Lol.

She has also begun "talking" quite a bit. Yesterday, Andy & I were convinced that when asked if she was hungry she said, "hungry" ...and when Andy walked into the room, she said "Hi Dad!" We both heard it, acknowledged by wide eyed glances at each other and lots of laughter, but also we think it was probably just a coincidence that the sounds coming out of her mouth actually formed words.

Despite, she is a constant joy and amazement. And tiring. Oh so tiring. Keeping up with this little nut might be impossible. Watch out world!
