Yep, sweet baby Jane is 1 year old today! Janie is a total stereotype of a girl... she talks constantly, but rarely makes too much sense; she knows exactly what she wants, and protests loudly if she doesn't get it; and she is a big believer in beauty sleep. Baby girl is a handful! My dad very appropriately pointed out that watching Janie is a full time job. She is way more work than the other two put together. Mostly just because she is always on the go. She is so good natured about it though that it's difficult to be annoyed or frustrated by it. Jane has been taking small steps off and on for over a month, but yesterday she decided she was ready to really tackle this whole walking thing. She kept standing up, taking 2-5 steps and sitting back down only to repeat it almost immediately. You could tell that she had finally decided she wanted to do it :)
Jane's photo session was.... ummmmm, interesting this month. Between my bum knee and her total lack of interest in taking pictures, we had some challenges to face. Our first approach was to administer happy (apple) juice...
She stopped yelling at us, but all the pics now had the bottle in them. Hmmmm. Then the happy juice kicked in...
As long as Daddy kept holding her hand...
What you can't see in this pic is that she is unhappily attacking the calendar... she's an angry elf...
"Hey Daddy, wanna help me take out this calendar?"....
Approach number two... PUFFS!
Puffs = happy babies.... taking hundreds of pics = ending up with at least one of Jane facing the camera....
Approach number three, toys!
...and more puffs....
We absolutely adore our sweet little one year old! Jane, you have brought us so much joy, laughter and love and we feel blessed to be your parents. I cant wait to see what God has for your energetic life :)
