Easter weekend

Saturday, we were invited to the Holder's Easter Egg Hunt. After Stella, Jane and I received at Hawthorne in the morning, Jane powered through her afternoon nap to attend the hunt. Webb Ratcliffe and Isabel Jenkins were also there to show Jane the ropes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Easter 2010

Jane's first Easter was great. We were invited to an Easter Egg Hunt at the Holder's house on Saturday afternoon after receiving at Hawthorne. Jane was able to see how an egg hunt worked and was able to visit with her friends Webb Ratcliffe and cousin Isabel Jenkins. She must have hunted hard because Jane slept through the night!!! For the first time she slept 10.5 hours!! Easter is a sign of Jesus's miracle and of hope. On Easter, Jane also brought hope to us that she might start continually sleeping through the night. Jane wore her new Easter bonnet to church then we had lunch at the Carriage House with Philip and Stella. After lunch, Stella and I received at The Elms. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Move Your Head

Jane is very attentive and persistent. When you are something gets in the way of what she wants to see, she really works on looking around it. We laugh whenever she does it and Hyde was able to catch it on video. I laugh every time I watch it....

Jane's Wave

Last week Jane started showing us her wave. Since the day she was born, Jane has been expressive with her hands and we think she will do something with her beautiful hands. She loves to conduct as she drinks her bottle and wave to adoring fans (the tourists love it) as well as her adoring staff (aka family members). Hyde was able to catch just a second of her waving, but we will work on getting more footage. My favorite part about this video (other than the wave of course) is the looks Jane gives Hyde as if she was saying "Okay, I have waved for your, what now?" Aunt Grace, she may need a few more pointers in perfecting her wave.

Jane's 1st Dip in the Pool

Spring has finally decided to stay in Natchez as we have had several warm days in a row and the azaleas have finally bloomed. Today we had a playdate with several Natchez babies and we decided to take our first dip in the pool. Becky and Julia Claire Jex swam with us. I have a feeling there will be many more pool appearances in the future months!

Who needs sleep??

 

 

 

 

Still not sleeping though the night...... We are trying some new sleep methods and they are working out well for everyone so far! Still not sleeping all night, but it is much easier to get her down and naps are much longer. The answer....sleepy time on the tummy!

Jane and Max

 

 

 

 

Max Mason and Jane are long time buddies. They met up at Fat Mammas for their parents to have a margarita since it was so pretty outside. Is spring ever going to come and stay? I thought these pictures were cute of the two of them. We are so sad that Max has moved to Pennsylvania, but are excited about the thought of a pen pal and future visits.
