What I do all day

I ran across this the other day... and I was grateful that my dear husband doesn't ask what I did all day when he gets home. The last week our house has been a total disaster. During Janie's first nap I have started doing my BYU classes rather than cleaning like I normally do. Of course now Janie only takes one nap so our house has been hit hard. I have tried to do my school work while Jane is awake and it just doesn't work out. It seems silly to shirk my responsibilities as a parent to do a class on parenting... Anyhow. Here are some of Janie's latest habits: Every morning while I get ready she makes faces at me through her pack'n'play.
It is amazing. I can hardly stop laughing long enough to get ready.


This is her "I'm so funny, right?" face.
I have learned the up-side to Janie's unfeigning love for shoes. When given her own shoes she can play with them for hours.
Lately we try to pull ourselves up on EVERYTHING.
Sadly she still gets pretty hung up on the technicalities of it so it takes her a very long time to get 75% of the way where she proceeds to get stuck because she is too tired to finish and she has forgotten how to get down.
Cue this face and "Nananana!" (because somehow her "Mama" has twisted into "Nana"—she always means me, but she has gotten lazy about her M's)
We are ALWAYS moving. Usually with this face.
*stop to admire the curls*
Another favorite activity is emptying out the bookshelf... I had no idea this started so young.
Life is SO SO good. I love seeing how curious and adventurous my little girl has become. It makes it hard to get anything done, but I am loving [almost] every second. Almost because it also means she is bonking her head on things a lot and it hurts me to see her hurt.

  1. haha! I have so many pictures of Naomi smashing her face against the play pen at this age. It really is pretty hilarious. :) What a cutie. And good luck with your classes! Let me know if you ever want me to watch Janie for an hour or something.
