Welcome!

For Jane

"good girl!" followed by a hand clap for yourself.  typically said after you get off the couch/bed by yourself, or if you color on the paper, or sliding down the slide, or if you eat your food instead of feeding it to the dogs.

obsessed with blankets.  obsessed!  i've never seen anything like it.  you will hold as many as you can and just wallow in their softness.  you will also try to walk around with them draping all over you and nearly tripping every half-second.

"manky" = blankey.  properly said with one or both arms stretched out in the direction in which you have seen your blanket.

good ol' blue sweet eyes. and smiles all the live long day.

nodding yes and no to questions.

just started climbing on and off the couch yourself.

lifting your arms to anyone so that you can be held.  ((see photo below with big stella, which is what you did 2 seconds before that picture was taken))

daddy gave you your first pedicure.  hot pink!

pretending to eat the food that stella has pretended to make.  its pretty cute to see you pinch up some imaginary food off of a plate and smack your lips together like it tastes good.  and then proceed to feed me the pretend food.  you might be a chef the way you force feed people.

Jane = chef
stella = actress

thats my prediction anyway.

still loathe the diaper change.

daddy chasing you around the house.  you live for these moments.  that giggle that happens from deep down in your tummy is the sweetest music to my ears.

throwing the ball for olive.  and you've started to say "ball"

feeding the dogs.  scooping up their dry food and pouring it in their bowls, by yourself!  and then picking out little individual pieces of their food to feed to them.  pete is surprisingly docile while you do this.

said "Kitty" just this afternoon.

refusing to give me a kiss, but making the sweetest eyes and laughing as you shake your head "no" when i ask for one.

your little sign language hands for more and all done.

liking the bath for 1 minute tops.  then wanting to get out.  then wanting to get back in after you already have your jammies on.

puckering your lips.
