The new month begins with new gorgeous pics of my JaynieBaby.

What did I tell you people!?1?s.

Gorgeous!

This one violates my "no fuzzy pictures" policy - but look at that Cheerio stuck to her cheek!  Ha!

Hahahaa!

Wait a minute, what are we laughing at?

Cheerios?

Haha - ok - they are pretty funny! 

"Hey Daddy!"

"Pick me up!"

"Show me some love!"

She's pulling up on EVERYTHING.

And it amuses her to no end.

Also - coming after me amuses her.

I gotcha Momma. 

Heeheeheehahahehehaaaa!

When I put this baby in the car....

She was wearing 2 shoes, 2 socks, and a hat.

5 min. later, this is what I find.  If she catches pneumonia this winter, it won't be my fault.  (Also - notice that one flexed toe in all the pictures.  That toe cracks me up.)

I bought Jaynie some new pacifiers in an attempt to get her to nap on her own in the crib (instead of in my lap).

Seems to be working - look at that super-comfy looking sleep position!

What Momma?  You want me to stand up so you can take a picture?

Here you go!

Ha!  I'm getting pretty good at this!

Jaynie teaches Introduction to Anatomy.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is an eyelid.

Yah, Baby, it's a diaper.

Just like the other 400 you've examined and flung about the room.

Ooooh - you're right!  A diaper!

"dad dad dad dad dad" (Jaynie's one word)

"Wake up and play with me!" (what she implies with her tone of voice)

"I love you, Mom!"  (what she clearly says with her eyes)

Another completely gorgeous shot of our princess. 

Ahh!  Naked baby butt on display!!!

Would you look at that Buddha belly?  

Some new, ever-popular bath pictures.

What is it about a baby in a tub that makes everyone go "Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!"?

One day, she's gonna absolutely hate us for posting this on the internet.

This room used to be perfectly neat, before Jaynie came to live with us.

Oh Mom!  you're so full of it!

Look me in the eye and tell me again about the fictional spotless house you used to have.  (Ok ok - she's got me there!)

It was a lovely fall day, so we headed outside for some pictures.

Hmmm.  Mom seems to have posed me with a pumpkin.

And yellow flowers!

And leaves!

Silly Momma!

Don't you know I don't need all these props!

I'm gorgeous all by myself!  (and so humble, too...)

Dad came home and caught us outside.  (Jaynie says "Hi Dad!  You don't need this hat, do you?")

Hey Joe!  I think there's something in that laundry!

Holy cow!  There's a Twinkie in there!  =)

Jaynie and George both love bath time!

Jaynie!  Are you actually eating any of that - or just playing with it?

I'm eating, I'm eating.  Seeeeee!

Although this broccoli smells really gross.

I'm forcing it down, ok Mom?

Ugh.  Too...Much...Broccoli.

Waaaah!

Hey Mom!  C'mon in and play!

Seriously - I've got tons of toys and books and stuff in here...

Pleeeeease!

HaHA!  Look at me standing!

Yah - I am pretty pleased with myself!

Look look look Momma!  One-hand!

Man - I love this kid - she's so beautiful.

Seriously - how could you argue that?  Look at her!

Joe calls the double swirl here "The Perfect Storm".

More hamming it up for the camera.

It's the truth - I am a ham!

But you love it, Mom!  Look at all these great pics I give you!

It's a bird!  It's a plane!  It's SUPER TWINKIE!

Oh MAN!  Somebody's Momma found a sweet pea costume in the post-Halloween clearance stuff!

She loves it!

It may look like I snuck up on this baby...

but trust me - she's totally aware of the camera.

This is a little camera-ham posing for a picture.

Oooh!  Time for another photo-shoot?

Here - how's this?

Now this is a baby caught unawares.  

Mmph mmm chomp. 

 Ack!  Are you taking pictures of me while I eat these cheerios???

Mommy getting some feet kisses.

Hi Dad!

We take Jaynie to New Orleans and the first place she wants to go is Harrah's Casino!

She did so well she immediately had us go to Saks so she could spend her winnings.

Jaynie at the Aquarium of the Americas.

Ooooooh!  Fishes!

Posing with the diver.

Can you guess...

what face Daddy was making...

when he took these pictures?

Hahahaa Dad!  You're so funny!

New Orleans turns out to be too much for Jaynie to take.

Soooo exhausted after a morning of strolling around the French Quarter.

Jaynie and Aunty Kim model for the camera....

and are kind enough to show off their bellies for posterity! =)

Mmm mmph mmm.

Oh Mommy!  I love staying at this hotel!

Waffles for breakfast every morning!  Yum!

Pizza night at Grandma Sharon's house.

Jaynie loves pizza!

I can't imagine where she gets that from!

Jaynie, honey, can you hold still for 3 seconds so I can get a picture of you in that cute outfit?

Ummm, no Mommy, I can't.

Fine fine fine.  How's this? 

Holy Cannoli!  Jell-O Baby!

This is great!  Can we have this every night?

The day begins with a piano recital at Great Grams and Poppy's house...

and ends with a dinner date with that gorgeous boy, Mateo (again - we look disturbingly pale next to them, no?)

I like this lady, Mommy!

She just lets me chew on anything I want!

Madam and Nikki smiling pretty.

Mom - now there's this strange guy trying to sit near me.  Also - I lost my sock!

I'm outta here!

Daddy figured we needed an extreme-close-up of Jaynie eating applesauce.

Dad. What are we gonna do with you?

Bath time!  Yeah!

We could not get her to hold still long enough to get an in-focus shot of this, but I had to include it anyway.  She has a PEA IN HER EAR.  That kid is one messy eater!
