39 Weeks (as of February 20)

Canaan has discovered the door stops. She likes to make them make noise.

She enjoys trying to get the spoon from us during meal time. Occasionally, she is successful in her attempt.

This has been a cold winter, and we've had snow several times recently.

If you look REALLY closely, you can see one of Canaan's bottom teeth in this picture.

• Canaan has discovered that she likes to spit with food in her mouth. We are trying to teach her to stop doing that, but it has been challenging. We don't think she understands "no" yet.
• Sometimes she gets her feelings hurt when we say "no". I'm not sure if it's the word or the tone of voice that upsets her.
• She likes to cuddle with a blanket and her frog in bed. She will pull the frog close to her face and suck on her thumb generally.
• She has thrown a couple of fits (i.e. when I wouldn't let her play with Max's toy).
• She laughs at Max.
• Canaan will sometimes stiffen up when you try to put her in the highchair or change her diaper.
• She has started being clingy when you try to put her down after holding her. She will hold tightly to your clothes.
• She doesn't enjoy baths as much right now because I won't let her stand in the tub.
• We think she's trying to kiss us. She will open her mouth and put it on our faces.
• Canaan has figured out when we are teasing/playing with her.
• When she holds her bottle, she holds onto the nipple rather than the bottle.
• She will follow us around and, when we stop walking, will pull up on our pants.
• She has started standing on her tip-toes to look at things or put something in her mouth.
• She stopped nursing this week. I hoped to make it a year, but that didn't work out for us.
