Joanna Clapped

Monday, Joanna clapped for the first time!
We were next door and I was holding her facing away from me. She started putting her hands together over and over.

Rubber Duck With Water Scared Joanna

I gave Joanna a bath last night and I think I may have made her afraid of
her rubber duck. I put the duck under water and let it get water pulled up
inside the squeaker. Then I pulled the duck out of the water and squished
the water out of it. I think it freaked her out and she started squalling.
I reassured her, but didn't get too excited myself. I showed her that the
wash cloth did the same thing and then repeated the trick with the ducky.
She wouldn't grab the duck after that, but she wasn't crying anymore
either. On that note, I ended bath time with a warm towel and letting
Joanna smile at herself in the bathroom mirror.
