Daily routine

My work schedule is getting busier (finally) so Jane is spending more and more time with the family down the street during the day. She really enjoys all of the kids. They go to soccer and baseball games, piano lessons and the park. She gets to see baby ducks, chickens, cows and a rooster at their house as well. The cats are still her favorite.

We are starting to plan for the big party on July 5. We are excited that some of our family will be able to come visit and spend this special day with us.

Clapping!

Jane learned how to clap yesterday. She started clapping while she was playing on the floor by herself and now she won't stop. She loves it. We are so proud because for those of you who know a thing or two about child development- hands together on midline is a really big deal!

Good Morning!

Jane is now able to pull herself up and stand! This is the little face that greeted me this morning. We are very proud and we are lowering the crib mattress momentarily. She can pull up on most anything including coffee tables, chairs, beds and cabinets.

Dining al fresco

Jane always enjoys eating outside and when the weather permits we try to accomodate. We are proud to announce that not only have her bottom middle incisors arrived but her canines are here too! Her new smile is priceless and we have affectionately dubbed her "the little fruit bat" because with no other teeth on top she looks like a bat.

Julie

We are excited and proud of Julie for deciding to pursue a career in agility training and although we miss her we know that she is in a great learning environment and loving home. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
