54 weeks old

Now that she's over a year old Bobcat is growing by leaps and bounds although she still fits in the same clothes she has been wearing since October and weighs less than 17 pounds.

She just seems to be getting so ... sassy. Her personality is shining through more each day. She loves to be noticed and to be the center of attention. Bobcat is still a quadruped, however she does not see her lack of bipedalism as an impediment. She makes the most of what she's got right now with cruising and dancing and finds crawling a fast (enough) method of travel.

Drinking from her sippy cup all on her own

Josie loves to dance when her parents play her Pandora stations on the television. More than that, she loves to press the buttons on the video recorder so capturing her antics are a challenge.

Josie loves to rough house with her kitties, and, for the most part, they are very patient with her. For example, Reno will run away if she doesn't want to play or, at worst, swat her with her claws in to warn Josie. She knows that if Duckie sits on the chair with claws facing out -- stay back! Otherwise, it's open season for bobcats hunting fowl.

"I'll get you, my pretty!"

Here are two clips of Josie "petting" Duckie:

In this clip, Duckie gives Josie a little lick and she signs "more."

Josie loves to tend her parents' garden. This works out well because her dad likes to grow flowers while she likes to pick (and destroy) them. Luckily, marigolds increase their flower production when you pick them -- at least that's what we're telling Dad. You can see some photos of Josie picking flowers on Jenna's blog.
