Welcome!

Jane Jane

You're walking! (or taking a few baby steps and then falling down).  This just started last night (3/18/2013).

sticking your little finger in every hole you see.  your nose, the bath toys, a cheerio, my nose/mouth

fake laugh (a ha ha ha)

your whole hand, fingers stretched out, reaching towards something.  for instance, you stretch your hand towards Pete, i say "thats Pete!" hand is still stretched out so i lean you closer so you can touch Pete, and the hand goes down just as we're reaching him, refusing to touch him.  one second later...hand is stretched out towards Pete.  repeat about 50 times.

night night jane.  you lay your head on the ground and lay reeeaaallly still with a big ol smile plastered on your face, to which we are to say "night night jane!" until you pop that little noggin up.  stella thinks this is a great game as well.

signing daddy.  you just did it for the first time this weekend, outrageously precious.  you take your little hand and almost pet your head (instead of doing the thumb to your forehead).  you did it over and over and over while in austin this weekend.  break my heart.  or really, break your dad's heart.

LOVE music.  this one's got rhythm.  bobbing that head, bouncing that booty.

you love little miss amelia.  screeching and kicking the minute her and shari arrive in the mornings.

you adore miss stella.  anything she does is magic to you.

lately you've been waking up at 5am looking for me or dad to rock you back to sleep.  its sweet but lawd almighty i need to you to quit doing this.  xo

love meat.  meat meat meat.  you're also a tad anemic (at your 9 month check up) which makes absolutely no sense to me.  am currently looking for ways to get iron into your diet without having to use those horrid iron drops.  after some research i'm going to make some beef broth using beef bones and marrow and then use this broth to cook/mash your vegetables.  yes?  yes.  i'll probably start doing the same for my diet.  sounds delish.

handing me everything so delicately with your thumb and first finger.  to which i am to say "thank you!" and you reply "dat!" and then hand me another something.   this evening it was acorns.  lots and lots of acorns.

you and the swing have a love/hate relationship.  right now its on hate.

getting better about the whole diaper changing/changing clothes bit.  your diaper must be changed every day, multiple times a day.  your outfit will be changed at least once a day.  this will always be the case for the rest of your life.  oh how i wish you would realize that and not act like its the apocalypse every time.






night night jane.  #bootypop


always.  always always always like this in a highchair now

at 9 month appt.  #chunks

did i mention the chunks?
