Jane loves to slide! We walk down the alley to the Harrisons and play on their play set. Jane prefers walking, with assistance of course, up the slide then sitting down by herself and sliding to the bottom. After getting comfortable sliding holding my hand, she will go down by herself. Yesterday she discovered gong down on her belly(feet first)and had a ball.

Kelly's Kids
Jane was asked to model in the Spring/Summer catalog for Kelly's Kids. We are honored to be asked and have loved hearing from everyone that recognized her-it has been fun to see who receives the Kelly's Kids catalog. Thanks Kelly's Kids!

New Notes
I enjoy blogging and reading other's blogs. Today I found a fun, new-to-me blog (simplifiedbee.blogspot.com) via a friend's blog (havenandhome.blogspot.com). Today's post was about Minted an online store for beautiful paper goods. Designers compete for spots on the site, which is updated regularly. Although I loved many designs, I made myself pick just one note card. I chose the turquoise Talk Bubble. It is simple yet bold, playful, and the color is my favorite! Did I mention the rounded corners? Love it!

Po (panda bear in Kung Fu Panda)
bee
hair
muff (mouth)
noff (nose)

A-the first letter but I can't get her to say A then B
others, that in the moment I know what she is saying, but not consistent yet

ghost: boo
owl: hoo
duck: says duck and flaps arms
chicken: bok and flaps arms
horse: neigh
cat: meow (I love this one, it is real soft and sweet)
dog: ruff ruff and sometimes wow

others:
-loves applying lipstick (to me and herself) and swirls a brush in a powder compact (empty) then brushes it on her face (or mine)
-feeding others
-tickling Maggie's belly
-sitting on Maggie
-hitting Maggie is she is mad (not necessarily at Maggie)
-opinionated about her food and likes to look through the pantry or refrigerator
-if you say the word knock, she knocks
-loves the slide! and will go down by herself (now that I know she likes going down with my assistance, I will work on a video) she will also try to walk up the slide (with assistance) or will climb up the ladder (I stand behind her ready)
-practices her faces in the mirror
-now has a step so she can help mom wash her hands at the sink
-can officially get on the coffee table, couch and our bed (when she is ready to get on the couch she r-emoves Maggie's couch bed because she knows she isn't supposed to be on it then gets up)
-she takes the DVD out of the case, pushes the open button on the player, takes the disc off and the new one on then stands up smiling at the tv
-pat-a-cake: she claps then rolls her hands
-this little piggy: reaches for her foot and holds her toes
-still loves to dance
-she now prefers standing during diaper changing time
-she still drinks her milk from a bottle
-she has been listening when we read! she finishes sentences, points to objects we ask about, gestures at the right time, etc
-suckers. we love visiting the bank now and receiving a sucker. it is a mess but worth it to see that cute smile
-Jane loves a juice box. "Big" (Big Bird) is on the box. She wants to/and does put the straw in herself.
-Jane is sleeping though the night!!! She sleeps around 11 hours!!! She takes afternoon naps lasting from 2-3 hours and will play with toys in her crib when she wakes. YAY!!!
-she loves her babies. she has 2 and sometimes one joins us on our strolls
-she used to love a toothbrush and would carry it around with her, but now I struggle with brushing time. Depends on her mood, but I can't get in there as much as I probably should.
-jumping. she loves jumping on the couch, crib and bed but now we are learning to jump on the ground and get both feet in the air. this also falls under the category of her new word "hop". appropriate timing with Easter around the corner.
That's all for now....

Bed Head and Banks
Warmer weather
I just had to take a picture of how dirty Jane was at the grocery store. She was very good, mostly because I was bribing her with graham crackers. With a sucker beforehand, the crumbs hand a great place to stick!
More dirt please
Rocks Rocks Rocks!
Nice Bed Head!
Biggest fan of the bank!

Our afternoon...Feb 17
This morning, Jane went to Aunt Gail's house to garden and play with Angel while I went to yoga and read for my yoga certification (which starts next weekend). After Jane's nap, we colored with our new Crayola Wonder markers. The markers are clear and color only appears on the magic paper. Yea Crayola! Jane may have had more fun arranging the markers than the actual coloring. And of course the first page we had to color was of the Beast!
Just checking her self out in the mirror before bath time.
PJs and Night Night!
