Weekly Goodies

Janie has been conquering all sorts of milestones lately.
#1: Jane can feed herself. Sort of. She gets an ounce of apple juice a day, and in her tiny bottles she handles it beautifully.
#2: Jane has started having an opinion on various issues. If I hold up two pairs of pants she will look carefully from one to the other for a while and then very deliberately select one. I have tried to trick her into taking the one she didn't initially want, and she is very sure of herself. She will CLING to her decision. It's pretty entertaining.

The other day I was digging through her basket of hair bows trying to decide on one and Jane was watching very carefully. Every time a pink one would come up she would reach out and snag it from the pile. It was very cute. I guess our little one has her first favorite color.
She actually was having a good time... this photo just demonstrates that she also tried to eat the hair bows and they weren't as tasty as she had hoped.

#3: Jane played her first game of Candyland. She took it very seriously. She also won.
She was a little confused by the name "Candyland". She thought she could eat it.

I finally broke the news to her that the game itself is about as tasty as her hair bows.
#4: Airplaning. Jane has perfected the art of touching the earth with only your sternum.
But it's tiring.
And then when she is about to try again... she shoves her little bum in the air.

Tonight Jane spent tummy time telling me what a terrible person I was for taking photos when she was obviously suffering.
Imagine her glee when she accidentally rolled over.
A dance ensued. (hence the blur)

And tonight our photos ended as they often do... Jane eating my camera strap. Because nothing is safe anymore.

I apologize for the terrible quality of photos here... this week's Weekly Goodies are brought to you by my really old phone
Janie's first pony tail.
Janet wasn't sitting by us in Scott's student lounge. This photo demonstrates our sadness. It also demonstrates my awesome phone camera skills.
and finally... Jane's seduction face.

Here is the beginning of a little segment I will call: "Things I meant to blog about but didn't" except "Weekly Goodies" sounds better.
Without further ado:

Today Jane learned she can breathe through her mouth. No, her nose is not stuffed, she just thinks it's cool.

I see a lot of this cute little pant lately.
Once upon a time we ate smore pizza. it was awesome. just ask our neighbors.
For family home evening we were learning a new skill: latte art. (except in hot chocolate)

Here is our final presentations.
yeah... apparently you do need a latte machine for that.

Jane is finally interacting with toys other than her zebra. Here she and her Bedbug Microbe were playing some intense space game.
She also noticed her jumperoo (borrowed courtesy of the Wheatley's) is for more than just eating. It has toys! Which she likes to stare at intently.
Learning to reach for things is working well for Jane. We didn't have a binky handy so she gently placed her teether on her mouth and started sucking on it like a binky.
I still can't decide if she was being clever or very sarcastic...
