Can't Get Enough of Our Baby

Here's just a bunch of what we've been up to lately:

Jane taking her first morning nap when we woke up freezing cold and realized we hadn't turned the heater on the night before. It was 64 degrees! Brrrr!


A little bit of this, a little bit of that...

Jane taking a bath in the kitchen sink :)


Phew! That was a lot! If you made it to the end, congratulations! :)

Janey had a Little Lamb...

Another really funny thing she does is cry when she gets really happy. Last Saturday, Peter and I went on a date while my mom watched Jane. When we got back and Jane saw us, she got really happy and was flapping her arms and kicking her legs, the she just started bawling! It was so cute! And she did the same thing today when Peter came home from work. I try to hold her by the window or take her out on the front porch whenever he comes home and today he pulled in the driveway and rolled down the window and started yelling her name. When she realized it was him, she started crying because she was so excited to see him!

She loves the stuffed lamb Aunt Loran gave to her more than any of her other toys! She has pretty much the same reaction I was just describing above, except she doesn't cry, she grabs the lamb and kisses, eats, squeezes, licks, cuddles, and plays with it like crazy! We hide it from her, then bring it out slowly and as soon as she sees it, she starts going nuts! (We sing "Janey Had a Little Lamb" to her all the time now :) Thanks, Aunt Loran! I'm sure it will be her favorite stuffed animal forever!

Yummy!

Jane loves eating solid foods and is so so good about eating her baby food. She likes trying new things and has liked almost everything we've given her, except peas. She HATES peas. After I sneak one or two bites in, she catches on and simply refuses to open her mouth. What a smart little bug! This is one of her first experiences with fruits and veggies. She gobbled up the carrots and as soon as I switched to pears, she started pulling these faces. The very last one is my favorite!

Dadada and Mamama :)

About a week ago, Jane started saying "dadadada" all the time. It is so cute! We just pretend she knows what she's talking about, especially Peter, who responds, "Yes, Jane?" every time she starts babbling :) I got kinda jealous and Peter started telling her to "say mamamama" and last Thursday she said mama for the very first time! Now I feel a little bit bad because we got this cute video of her saying mama and now that she has started saying that, she has stopped saying dada nearly as much :) I am so proud of her, for how much she is learning and growing every single day!

Jane, Jane Bo Bane :)

Jane is rolling around like crazy! When she first started to roll, she would go up on her side, then plant her face in the ground until her legs flipped and she was on her tummy. She was rolling just front to back and back to front not very long ago, but has now figured out that she can roll to get to things she wants. Yesterday, she rolled all the way across the living room the short way, just to explore her boundaries. When I started calling to her, she just looked right at me, then started rolling and rolling until she got to me! It looks hilarious when she rolls up on her side then flops over, again and again until she gets to where she wants to be. AND, it makes me so happy that she knows I'm her mom and that she loves me so much. :) (This video was taken about a month ago. Don't judge, it's tough to find time to blog these days.)
