What a Couple of Weeks!

Janie turned 8 mos., learned to pull herself up on things, and has learned to crawl all in the last couple of weeks. She's also sleeping through the night (usually) and is sweet as can be. Her hair has turned curly at the ends (didn't see that one coming), and she has a new goofy grin. I've decided to stay home with her next year, and we're loving life!

Janie loves to sit on her changing table window area and look outside.
Bows aren't usually her thing, but with all the hair she's got now, it's fun to try them out.

Her hair was so bone-straight at birth that we're surprised to see it start to curl up at the ends. She's so beautiful.
Jane loves the view from her nursery window.
This is one of her new grins. We think it has to do with her teething. Super-cute!
Her eyes seem to get bigger and brighter every day. When she's sleepy, as she is here, she can stare holes through you.


Monster baby!!!!!
Pulling things off shelves is a new pastime now that she can pull up.



I know it's kind of dark, but here is one of her early crawling attempts (to her Daddy, of course)

Tutu Cute!

-My little fairy princess
- She loves being outside in the sunshine



She can stand on her own with very little assistance. I can't believe how big she's getting. They say that it goes by so fast, and "they" aren't kidding. Where's my Little Skittle?



- The end... It had to be said.
Last Saturday, Abby and Mom made tutus for Rachel, Kristin, and Janie. So priceless! She sure is fairy-like in it. These are classic pics. Thanks, Mom.

Squinting in the Wind

I love the faces she makes when the wind blows. She looks completely different. She can't get enough of the outdoors these days. She loves it!

Peek-a-boo!

Yes, I know, I sound ridiculous, but I can't help myself with Janie. She's so funny!

When did this happen???

From Baldy to....

Brunette Beauty. Did someone slip her a toupee when I wasn't looking?

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.
