Janissa is 11 months old. She is 26.8 inches tall and weighs 15.4 pounds. She looks great, although I've only seen her smile once. She is very skeptical of strangers, especially those with cameras that flash. She can sit without support, babbles and reaches for familiar people. She also cut her two bottom teeth (darn, I missed it!). She is a thumb-sucker. It doesn't look like she favors one over the other. In the video I received (thank you, Michael), she goes from the right thumb to the left in a matter of seconds.
I am anxiously awaiting my May 19 court date (35 days away for those who are counting down with me). I still expect to travel mid-June.
We celebrated Easter at my parents house yesterday. I made my first Ethiopian dish called Fosoleay. It is green beans and carrots with lots of spices. I think it went over pretty well.
Here are a few photos, starting with Mom's Traditional Easter Cookies:

Finally, the cousins enjoying each others company:
