April!

What better time to blog then after an accidental 5-month break? :) I feel like this blog is mostly just about Jane and how she's growing and doing new things, and then when I think about it, my life is almost all about Jane too, so I guess it makes sense. Most recently, Jane has developed a little sassy streak. She's too smart for her own good and when she can't let us know what she wants or we do something she doesn't like, she gets really pouty and breathing in and out really fast. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help but laugh every time! Another new trick she found is when someone is trying to pick her up and she doesn't want to be held, she goes completely stiff except for her arms, which go limp as noodles, and she almost gets dropped. How does she figure these things out?!?!
Also, EASTER!! Jane was adorable! We filled plastic eggs with snacks that didn't have TOO much sugar and hid them around the house. She opened the first one and was VERY pleasantly surprised to find goldfish crackers! She ate them, then crawled as fast as she could to the next egg to get more. She was just as excited for every egg as she was the first! We had such a great weekend watching conference and spending lots of time with family. My brother Kyle and his wife came into town, and here's the moms with the cute babies:

It was so fun to see everyone and to just have a lazy weekend, full of general conference. Lauren and Olivia also came to visit us for a little while this week and Jane ADORES Olivia. She kind of attacks her with love whenever she sees her. Here they are in their matching PJs:
Compared to Olivia, Jane looks pretty big. But apparently compared to other babies her age, she's really little. She's pretty average for height and head circumference, but she is only in the eighth percentile for weight. Eighth! She is our little bird baby :) No wonder she won't walk more than a few steps--her head is too heavy for that skinny body! She's getting really close, though, and I'm pretty sure one of these days she's just going to take off running! :)
