Happy Birthday Lady Jane!

Jane officially turned one year old last week.  I can't believe it!  Time really does fly by when you get to be with someone you love all day, every day.  

She is quite a sassy pants and she loves to talk.  She has 7 teeth right now, one of which I randomly saw just the other day.  She started crawling around 10 months and has definitely mastered it.  She has this funny way of doing it where she only has one knee down and then sticks the other leg straight out to the side and pushes off with that foot.  It helps her move FAST.  She's a quick little thing.  She can pull herself up really well and has attempted standing on her own only a couple times, but hasn't shown much interest in walking.  I can tell she wants to, but she knows that crawling gets her to where she wants to go super fast.  She did decide to be fearless and crawl up the stairs, though.  Yikes!  Now we just need to teach her to go back down them...

She LOVES food, especially pasta, peas, and grapes.  She loves taking baths and likes to splash her dad :)  She loves crayons.  Not necessarily coloring with them, but just throwing them around and taking them out of their box and putting them back in.  Silly girl.  She loves animals, but especially dogs and horses.  She really loves our two cats though.  It's so funny how excited she gets to see them.  They usually just run away from her. haha.  She has started trying to make animal noises, and it is SO funny.  She really likes books and loves to go out for walks in the stroller.  She also still loves to watch sports with her dad.

We just really love our little miss and are so happy to came to be with our family.  I know she'll be a good big sister, even though I can tell she's going to get the littlest miss into some crazy shenanigans with her :)

We love you, Jane!

^Sassy pants.

We celebrated Jane's birthday during the reunion and tried to give her some cake, but she just didn't know what to do with it, so she didn't really eat any.  It was the first time she really had any sugar, so that probably had something to do with it.  In between the weeks of the wedding and her actual birthday we let her have some ice cream her and there, so she had a good idea of what the sweet stuff tastes like.  So once she got a taste of the cake we made on her actual birthday she stuffed her face with it!  I'm glad she was able to enjoy it :)

^Jane and Dad hangin' out.

^Here she is with her Birthday sign!  She colored on the horse a little bit after I made it.  And then she tried to lick it and crawl all over it.  Oh well :)
