Happy Birthday to ME!

Jane had a great time helping me blow out my candles. Ahh--the relighting birthday candles were just an appetizer of what was to come in 15 days!

May 2008

We had a great time on our Florida vacation. We stayed in Yankeetown with Pete and Debbie and then spent some time in Clearwater. Jane loved chasing sea gulls, making sandcastles and swimming in both the pool and the ocean.

Playing Catch Up

I know. I know. I've been a bad blogger. But I do have an excellent excuse! I am going to do my best to catch up by spotlighting the big events since May!

Stay tuned!

Toddler Idol

Who can resist a bargain? Not our GooGoo, that's for sure!

This incredible toy has become Jane's absolute favorite, and can you believe it only cost twenty cents?!? And, it came with working batteries. And all of the buttons work, except for the microphone button which only works about 1/2 the time. Oh, let me tell you about the The Wheels on Elmo's Bus and The Elmo Pokey and my personal favorite the E-L-M-O
(I guess the YMCA had too many negative connections).
Thanks again GooGoo.


Andrew and I are going to buy Jane that drum set she has been asking for
but she'll have to keep it at your house!

She ate a smurf.

Just kidding!

The blue icing was from her friend Gwen's birthday cake. Jane went to her little friend Gwen's birthday party today and it was great fun. The party was held in the play room where Jane takes her Busy Bees class. I don't know who was more excited about climbing on the equipment, Janie or Daddy.

Choo Choo!

Jane has a new love for trains. She insists upon getting out the same "Little Train" book from the library every week. We got her this train set for Christmas, but today was the first day that she set up the track by herself. I was still instructed to "sit, sit" and supervise the construction.

Tuckered Out

We had a busy morning. First, Jane woke up an hour earlier than usual. Then, we had Busy Bees. Next, it was time to do some shopping. She fell asleep in the car on the way home for maybe 30 seconds. She seemed pretty lucid when I got her out of the car seat and plopped her onto the chair. Lucid enough to demand "tubbies" (Teletubbies) and her "apple lunch".
I was in the kitchen for less than 5 minutes preparing her lunch and this is how I found her.
Transitioning her into the crib took about 3o minutes, but she had a nice nap and woke up bright eyed and bossy-tailed!
