Pedometer

28029
In an effort to increase my walking, I bought a pedometer...and you know what, it's working!

Boing

270209
The Jolly Jumper is definitely one of Baby J's most favourite things to do!

With Mommy

260209
We have a definite lack of pictures of Baby J with her mommy, so this morning I resorted to using the timer. Not the best results, but whatever!

Distorted View Of The Living Room

250209
This mirror is for the car so we can see Baby J from the front seat even though she's facing away from us. We haven't taken the car out since we picked it up the other day, so it's been propped next to Baby J's play area and she's had a great time babbling to the baby in the mirror. I noticed it's a convex mirror, so things are a bit distorted.

Contemplating The Jolly Jumper

240209
Baby J tried out the Jolly Jumper for the first time this morning. She wasn't quite sure how to make it work. There was a lot of arm flapping and not a lot of jumping, but I'm sure she'll get the hang of it soon!

Project Complete

230209
This was a joint project between me and my mom. I started it ages ago and it was for Baby J when she was born. Well, she's been born for a long time now! Oh well, it's a lighter weight than most of her blankets, so it will be good for summer.

Cousin Time

220209
Connor and Baby J seem to enjoy hanging out together. Love the nonchalantness of this picture...especially because Connor was very happy to be sitting with J! (And yes, I just made nonchalantness up!)

How Did I Get Here?

210209
Baby J has been able to hang out a bit on her hands and knees, but she's still not sure how she got there or if she likes it! Soon after this, she kind of collapsed onto her tummy.

Eyelashes

200209
My kid has the longest eyelashes I've ever seen. They actually curl up and touch her brow bone. I'm not sure where they came from - neither one of us has eyelashes like that!

Out Like A Light

190209
Baby J fell asleep just as we left her baby group this afternoon. Rather than come straight home and risk her waking up 20 minutes into her nap, I went for a walk with another mom. Then I picked up a few groceries. Then I came home. She slept for almost 2.5 hours. And 20 minutes of that was after I got home!

Sneakers

180209
These cute little shoes make people thing Baby J is a boy. No matter what she's wearing. Even if the rest of her outfit is head to toe pink. Sneakers+bald head=boy?

Red Head?

160209
We're not sure about the hair, but it just may be red...the cheeks are definitely red and, poor baby, they're super chapped right now too.

Those Are My Feet

130209
And boy, they sure are fun to play with! They're even more fun today because someone gave me shoes laces to pull on too!

Early Valentine's

These pretty flowers walked through my door a few days early for Valentine's Day.

Moving Backwards

110209
Baby J has started scooting backwards and in circles - she's not too thrilled about it since it usually means she's getting further away from her target, not closer to it! She was facing the mirror when she started!

It's Coming

100209
V-day is not far off...and if this bag of cinnamon hearts has anything to do with it, we'll have cinnamon-burnt tongues!

Hurricane

090209
These Hurricanes are brand new, but they're a few years old. I've had them hiding in my closet - I love them, my feet love them, my plantar fasciitis is happy when I wear them. Unfortunately they've changed the design since I bought these ones and my feet don't like the new design so much. So, once I wear these ones out, I'm going to have to find a new shoe.

New High Chair

Baby J got a new high chair today. She hasn't eaten in it yet, but she sure loves hanging out in it!

Pat The Bunny

This book is fun to touch. My mom said we went through multiple copies when we were kids. Baby J got this one from her great-grandma.

Possum Magic

Baby J hasn't actually seen this book yet - it's not sturdy enough for her!

Happy All Around!

050209
This crazy book sings! Well, maybe not sings, but it certainly plays music! Baby J loves playing with it - she can pull and move various parts of it. She likes the sound the velcro makes when it rips!

Sing-a-long Book Set

040209
Baby J got this from one of her great-greats. This set is great because they're all familiar songs and rhymes. It also came with a CD recording of the songs.

Babies

030209
Baby J got this book for Christmas from her k-town grandparents. I had this book when I was a baby and I wore it out, so when my mom saw it in the bookstore, she had to buy it for Baby J. Baby J loves it too!

Guess How Much I Love You

020209
Baby J and Daddy like to read this one together. Baby J got the book from us and the matching Little/Big Nutbrown Hare from Heddy (lucky Hare has its own copy of the book hanging off its belly button. For real.). Heddy also gave Baby J the special Velveteen Rabbit picture that Little/Big Nutbrown Hare posed for. And, yes, I am going to end that sentence with a preposition.

Hello Pooh!

010209
Baby J just got this book and she loves it. It has three pages and it's made of cloth AND it's got that crinkle stuff inside it. She's so thrilled with it! Plus it's got chewy bits at the bottom and a loop/hook thing to grab onto. Yup, she's happy with this one!
