Living The Good Life

This is me with all my cousins and SHREK at Universal Studios!

WOW...Dora really is real!
I know I look pretty in this fancy bedtime dress!

Hi Friends,

I know it's been a very long time since my Mom and I have "blogged" - but you see we've been very busy. First of all you need to know that I can now walk, run, and climb and I usually try to do all three at the same time. I also went to LA and saw all my cousins at once...not to mention Dora and Shrek (see above for proof). Daycare is going okay and I'm now the biggest one in the "baby room" so I kind of run the show. I have two new favorite toys - my Mom's fancy button purse and my pretend cell phone. I walk around the house with both all the time and Mom keeps laughing...I'm not sure what's so funny 'bout a girl who knows how to accessorize!

Well I have to go to bed now...do you like my new nightie (see above) my friend Tressa sent it to me in the mail! Okay time for sleep. We are busy getting our yard ready for summer. We'll post more pictures when it's all set up!

Hugs and kisses...Jane

It takes the heart of a LION!

Jivin' out to the tunes with my funky new hair!
Did someone say DAYCARE?
From board books to journal articles...who says I can't help Mom study?
I've highlighted all the most important parts!

Okay - I have to be very quick because I am eating breakfast, getting dressed for daycare (more on that later) and doing this blog at the same time...a new age girl has to multitask. We've had a lot of changes since I posted those Christmas pictures...ahh the innocence...the blissful naievete of not knowing that the New Year would bring...wait for it...DAYCARE! Yes, I go to daycare 3 days a week so that my Mom can study without any distraction. The good news is that the daycare is just around the corner from our house so I'm convinced that, should it be warranted, I could scream loud enough that my Mom might hear me. All is all it's an okay place to go - there are different toys and friends to play with. I'm still a little timid and shy at times so I wear my shoes with Lions on them everyday and Mom tells me to look at my toes and know that I have more inner courage and bravery than I know. So...I glance at my toes often to garner up my inner strength to deal with the chaos of NINE 0ther babies around me at the same time. Okay - time flies when you are doing 5 things at once...I have to run out the door and greet the daycare world!

Roar,

Jane

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

It's 2008 and I'm a year old...what a way to start off a new year! Sorry that it has taken so long to post the Christmas photos. I've been a little pre-occupied with all the new books I have to read. I still LOVE my books and sit and read them out loud to myself all the time. Mom is also reading a lot these days as she is studying again. Dad's back at work and enjoying it. Oh yeah, and now we have a funny machine that Mom and Dad run on in the basement. They look pretty funny...running and not getting anywhere...why would anyone want to do that?

I had a great Christmas with my family. My Granparents came out and we had lots of fun. They even gave me a Gingerbread cookie covered in sparkles on the day I sat on Santa's knee. I tried to tell them not to even tell my parents but they were silly enough to take pictures. I'm thinking life will get easier when I can actually talk and we can work these things out prior to returning home and confessing.

Here are my New Year's Resolutions:

1. language development

2. master art of deception (refer to #1)

3. read books

4. develop style with goal of being the day care fashionista

Here are some photos from my Christmas. Hope you enjoy them. I have to go and get dressed now cause Mom says that "it's not a good start when you are still in your jammies at 9 a.m."

enjoy your day...jane
