Happy Easter (Week 32)!

We had a great Easter brunch on Saturday with Mimi and a great Easter Sunday over at Gammy's house.

I couldn't get any great pics of her dress, but it had butterflies, long bloomers and matching shoes.

Unfortunately, she was being too shy to visit too much with aunts, uncles, and cousins, but she warmed up after a while and had lots of fun watching her cousins play. Next year she'll be tagging along.


This was Saturday night. She had just gotten out of her bath and was having a bad hair moment.

She's slept through the night 3 NIGHTS in a row! Sleepy, sleepy girl!

Some Older Photos

The sun caught my ring just right and she had to discover it.

Precious, sweet hand

I can't give her sweet cheeks enough kisses.

31 Weeks - Whoa.

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

The Pre-Crawl Scoot

She started out at about where mom had the camera, scooting on her bottom, then she saw mom's cat and tried the hands and knees approach. Janie was trying to get at mom's cat, Punkin. Nothing motivates her to move like animals! I know it won't be long till she crawls.

Bathing Cutie

These are the first pictures where she's showing her first two teeth!

One of Janie's favorite parts of her day is bath time. When she sees her bathtub she flails her arms and legs and wants to reach down for it.


These were such special moments. Thanks for the pictures, Mom.

Pretty Girl

Janie is 7 Months Old!

Janie makes us so proud. Her new little sheepish smile and all of the special things that make her Jane Cara warm our hearts. We had a terrific month. Other than an ear infection and teething troubles, Janie has been happy and healthy. We are so grateful. We had so much fun over Spring Break! Just spending time with her is fun. John took the week off, too, so we had a blast. Besides going to Mimi's, we also had a get-together at Gammy's, a play date with Jack, and Allyson's birthday party on Saturday.

Dinner with Mimi

Tonight we went to Rosemary's for a wonderful pasta dinner - YUM! We had a great time and got some great pictures. Janie loves her family.

Weeks 28-29

Mimi dropped by this afternoon and brought some spring surprises for Janie. She loves them, and boy does she look cute in one of her new outfits! Thanks, Mimi!








Janie has had 2 milestones these past couple of weeks. She has TWO TEETH! (Bottom, front) and she can sit up on her own without support. It's so weird to be laying or sitting there beside her when she's sitting on her little bottom playing with her toys all by herself. It's her first real move toward independence, and we're so proud of her. I wish I could get a picture of her teeth, but she cries when I try to mess with them. They're still pretty sore, I guess. She's got an earache right now, but she's been to the doctor, and she should start to feel better in a day or so. I have spring break this week, and John is taking time off, too, so we have a week of family fun coming our way. I can't wait. I talked to my boss today about working part time next year, and he said he would try to make it work for me if he can. Please pray for us! I'm holding out hope.
