Puppies!

Benelli's puppies have arrived.  She had seven pups, and Jewell
loves them.  In this picture, she is sitting on the trampoline playing
with her new found friends.  Jewell sitting up and playing independently
has opened up a whole new world of discovery!

Clapping is her newest form of excitement.
She is clapping her hands as she gets to play
with the puppies.  It is great to also see her
clap for herself when we tell her, "Good job."
For example, when she helps me put her spoon
in her mouth while eating, she claps. :-)
Seeing her have great joy is so much fun! 

"Yeah!!"  Jewell is cheering as she plays with her
new friends.  She finds the puppies fascinating.
However, I think they find the way she grabs them
less than fun.  She is still learning how to pet them gently.
