Charlotte has been spending some time in her Bumbo seat. She’s easily movable while she’s in it and it’s helping her to sit up straight.

I was cooking dinner the other night and put her on the floor near the cupboard. She’s far enough away that she won’t get splattered with anything but close enough that I can grab her if she starts crying.

She’s sitting there, babbling away so I turned to put whatever I was cooking on the stove and she got real quiet and let out another one of those little giggles…

Otis was checking to make sure she had her rattle to keep her occupied.

The dogs know that they will get the scraps at some point while I am cooking.

They only get scraps if they SIT…so, upon seeing me watching the two of them Otis sat. That action called the rest of the dogs into the kitchen.

Otis knows that they must look at me to get a treat (I have a suspicion that Charlotte does too)
