Rest of June and into July

Somewhere around the middle of June Janey began to sit on her own.  I figure this means it is only a matter of time until she starts crawling after me.  But until then, I am safe!

 Papa Bear had another Friday afternoon basketball game to play in, so Mama Bear and Janey went along.  Apparently Janey likes beer cans:

 

Mama Bear's friend recently turned 40 and decided to have her birthday party at a Pole Dancing Studio - apparently these are the new rage!  They spent two hours learning a lap dance and were exhausted at the end!

My friend Dan is driving cross country and stayed with us for a few days.  I do not think the sun made a single appearance while he was here.  But we still showed him around.  I even went on a ferry for the first time.  It took us from Balboa island to the penninsula.  Pretty fun.  Janey came, too:

WE went for our regular morning stroll on the 4th of July.  BY 6:15 am all the firepits on the beach were already claimed- we assume they planned to use them during the fireworks.

Later on the 4th they took Dan to the local zoo - nothing compared to his recent visit to the San Diego Zoo, but still pretty good for a local zoo.  Papa Bear "wore" Janey for the first time.

Janey also likes the wine glasses:

In mid-July Janey began her swim lessons.  The first day was great.  Unfortunately she did not like it the rest of the session.  WE think it is because the water is so cold and by 4:30 in the day it is not so warm outside.  SO Mama Bear is only going to take her to heated pools in the middle of the day for now:)
