Saying adios to Puppy Pals

I will really, really miss those blue striped pajamas with the puppies on them.  I took them from Maria after Alex outgrew them (five years ago!) and have been waiting a long time to put someone in them.  It always made me smile to see Jane in them.  Now they're stored away (for the next baby, of course).

Anyway, for as long as Jane would tolerate it, I put a bunch of different clothes on her yesterday to see what fit and what was ready to store.  She's comfortably in 6-9 month stuff.  She's just about outgrown her bouncy chairs, too, as she keeps crunching her head and shoulders forward.  But we went out Saturday and bought her what's called a Bounce Bounce Baby that will keep her contained.  Want to see it?  Of course you do.
You can't see the bottom of it very well, but there's a platform underneath her, on springs, that her feet are supposed to graze (but not be flat-footed).  She seems to like it.  It's eventually going to work with Dad, but for now, it's at home.

 Jane spent some time with Calvin a few weeks ago, as I mentioned.  They seemed to be good friends.

We've still only gotten two roll-overs from her.  I think she's just content to be on her belly for a decent amount of time.  That's not a bad thing!

 Everyone in jammies doing tummy time
 "What do YOU want?"

 Her hair has really gotten thicker in the last few weeks.  Ignore the cradle cap.  We're doing our best to fight it.
 Don't let the pictures fool you.  She's actually pretty bad at napping.  At least, with me she is.
 Did I do this right?
 Andy and I can't stop laughing about this one.

Jane and I will be heading to Michigan next week for Thanksgiving.  She's got some new family members to meet!  And I've got pumpkin stuff to eat.  If you'll be in the Mitten too, let me know!  We'll party until 6:30 PM!

Quick pic

Andy's been out of town since Sunday, so I haven't taken any new pictures of Jane.  Our friend Serena agreed to watch Jane while I worked (THANK YOU!) and snapped this shot of Jane and her son Calvin.
Andy's on his way home and we'll see him tonight!!!

Jane's First Halloween!

I think the idea to dress Jane up as a TARDIS came while I was still pregnant.  So I solicited my mom to make her a TARDIS hat, which she did handily, I dressed up as Rose Tyler (though really the only costume part of my costume is that I was wearing way too much mascara, which you can't really see in the pictures).  Andy was the 10th Doctor, and Jane, in her Puppy Pals PJs and TARDIS hat, was our space-and-time-ship, bigger on the inside.

Plus some other pictures.  Random order!  I'm good at blogs.

I thought we needed some good shot of Jane in this onesie, since it's her-specific and can't be used on another child.  Well, it wouldn't make sense.  That doesn't mean we won't do it.

 Who wants all the candy?
 Jane wants all the candy.
P.S.  Jane totally would have slept through the night last night if I hadn't woken her up at 5 to nurse.  I call that a WIN!
