Having a decent camera on your phone is great and all, but man, that
easy access equals a LOT of pictures!! Which I'm sure I will be/am
grateful for...so here is a random picture fiasco
Kimberlie invited us over for dinner a few weeks ago! It was fun to spend some time with them and see their new condo and it was delicious!. Jade loved checking out some new terrain! We had to keep a very close eye on her!
Cute dad alert!!!
Horrible picture, but we went to dinner with the Hunt's, King's, and Millers! It was so good to see them! It has been a while
Playing some weekend games with the Jones!! We absolutely love them!
 |
| This has been her new favorite way to sit. Leg cranked back and usually up on one knee:) |
 |
| She also does this INCREDIBLY cute thing now where after she finishes her bottle she whips around and just melts onto your chest with her head laying on your shoulder...It's THE BEST |
 |
| She loves playing in the sunlight of the morning |
 |
| TOOTH!!! Still just the one and only |
 |
| Go ahead, count them...........7! We normally try not to bring her binkies downstairs, they are only for sleeping...except when we are going to clean them, in which case, she has a hay day! It's almost like she has a guilty "I'm caught!" face:) |
So this has been our winter!! A frozen tundra! Beautiful and all, but crazy cold!
I still try to be a good dog mom and take the dogs for a walk when I can. If you can't tell, my hair was literally frozen!
She is oh so helpful in the kitchen as you can tell! And she constantly wants to climb up everything...example: me.
Peek-a-boo!!
This was soooo cute!...I know I say that about everything....she was trying to catch the sun's rays!! She is hilarious! I think she has a little obsession with the sun! And I don't know why these pictures look like she has a bowl cut!
She is absolutely loving books all the sudden! She will have her whole basket of toys in front of her and pull out the books to play with! She will now pick one and
bring it crawl and stumble-drag it to you to read to her
Oh and she definitely loves her BFF Swayzie! These two girls are 8 months apart and can now totally play with eachother! It's the cutest! Swayzie is so protective and mothering...she will bring Jade her toys and binkies and tell Jenni to "shhh!" while Jade is sleeping. Swayzie is so funny too, she can totally walk but when Jade is around she only crawls with Jade. I love when Jenni sends me pictures of when she babysits on Thursdays, she always catches the cutest things
Some other things Jade does right now are:
1) When she takes a sip of something she will do the classic, refreshing "Ah!" sound (I know you all just did it didn't you?!)
2) She likes to fake cough or fake burp after you do it and then she will do her -exhale so hard and drag out the laugh- laugh
3) She loves to stand up to and push everything around the room (high chair, boxes, her walker, her table toy she got for Christmas,etc)
4) She is taking steps on her own, running back and forth from Tom and I, but still no walking
5) She loves Pancake Manor, Small potatoes, and Yo Gabba Gabba video clips on Youtube
6) Whenever she drops something she will distinctly say "Uh-oh!"
7) She is kind of scared of animal noises haha! She has one book where it goes over the noises each animal makes and when either of us does it, she gets terrified and cries!. We do it very basic (oink, baah, ruff, moo) and she is nervous but ok.., but when we get to the birds (rooster, owl, pheasant) it's all over:)
8)She loves playing with the dogs, and thankfully they are so patient with her!
9) Not a "cute" thing, but, she is kind of a nightmare to take out to eat lately! All she does is squirm and whine to get down to crawl around! So I guess that's good for us-less eating out?
10) She is also down to taking just one nap now, which I was a little worried about, but has been great! She was ready. So instead of 2 broken up 1-2 hour naps, she does one solid nap from about 12:30-3:30pm
11) She is learning patty cake and does the "toss it way high" or "toss it in the oven" part (depending on how you were raised,..Tom thinks it's 'toss it way high'...what?!) really good and shoots her hands straight in the air!
12) She is a little shy and reserved around new people or too many people and becomes super clingy
13) She is smart! She recognizes the sound of the garage door opening and will get so excited and say da da da so loud, knowing that one of us are coming in.
And our downstairs is basically on lock down while we are down there (pantry blocked, stairs blocked, and doggy door blocked ) So if I forget something, she notices and heads right for it! And as you can tell, she knows where this dog door is supposed to go!
