Round two of pictures!

 Grandpa and Grandma

 Jane got a special birthday glass from Great-grandma Sal.  We did not make her the suggested Birthday Girl cocktail, which consists of equal parts white wine and lemon-lime soda, but she enjoyed her water anyway.

 Looking out the window

 Telling jokes

Birthday!

Picture time!

Jane had a blast blueberry picking and eating tons right off the bush.

 Triceratops rocker!

 No hands!

 Opening presents with Brisco keeping the peace

 Jane seems to be listening to me quite seriously.

 Helping herself...

 What is this cupped-cake of which you speak?

 Want some?

 Oh come on, Mom's cooking isn't THAT bad!

 Check out her elbow!

Lately she's been loving crawling the length of the couch and back.

 "Should I bite your toes?"

 "I'm gonna bite your toes!"

 Round of applause

 Hanging out with Grandpa Dick

 Telling secrets?  Kisses?

 Fun guy!

There are literally hundreds of pictures so I might do another post if more turn up in the next few days.

It's been quite the year.  She's an amazing kid!

Lots of pictures

Jane got an ear infection, a parting gift from last week's cold.  She's been acting OK, but her sleeping is getting worse.  She's now got three teeth up on top and two on the bottom.  Last night she peed on the bathroom floor.  Haha.

On to the pictures, in whatever order they upload in:

 Pea picking a few weeks ago.

 Take a bite!

 Stopping for lunch afterward

 Hey, there are some rocks in these slats.  I bet I could put them in my mouth...

 Walking with Dad

 We went to a concert at the Whately library a few Saturdays ago.  She was a little too young to notice or care about the music, though I have a few songs in my head.  A lot of his songs were bilingual, which is fun for me.  Anyway, they had watermelon out, so she tried that.  I had to finish most of it.  (Ew.)

 You mean I can play with Tupperware?

 All RIGHT!

 We went hiking on Saturday and Jane managed to fall asleep in her pack, her head bobbing around.  She got about 45 minutes, which is pretty good!  Not pictured: the boulders over which we had to pass Brisco.

Eleven months... nailed it!

Jane hit eleven months last Friday.  She's doing more and more every day--she pulls to standing and walks pretty well if you hold her hands.  She calls everything a dog.  She's still not napping all that well, and nights are hit-or-miss, but even with her current cold, she's been sleeping pretty darn well overall.

It's also been completely confirmed that she loves curry.  I think it's been the biggest hit, maybe tied with blueberries.

We went pea-picking at the farm last weekend and there are pictures, but I don't have them handy.  She ate some peas, even biting off some pieces with her fancy new upper tooth.  (Fancy because it's gold, of course.)

Future so bright...

 No shades if Jane can help it.

 Standing with a magnet in her mouth.

 She's very good with books, most of the time.  She likes The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

 Hey Daddy, were you trying to get a shot of me peacefully looking at a book?  I see you!

 Oh, I can't bear to look...

 How bad is it?  Give it to me straight.

 Last night Andy took out his phone for some distraction-time while I was getting ready to cook, and got some good shots.

Now, what kind of (cup)cake do you think Jane wants for her birthday?
