Ooooh!  A present!

Mmmm Mummph Mmmm.  Tastes like.....

SHOES!

Mmmm.  Actually - this wrapping paper's not bad!

Thank you MaryFrances for this delicious paper!  (Oh - and for the cute outfit and coolest shoes in the world, too!)

Jaynie on the move!

Jaynie sitting still!  =)

She's discovered the scratching posts.  

I'm coming to get you, Momma!

Ha!  Gotcha!

Madam enjoying a light snack of Nike out on the lawn.

Mmmmm.  Yummy sneaker!

Oooh - these are delicious!

No more pictures please!

I said we're done here!

Happy baby on the lawn.

I know, I know - could she GET any cuter?

Yes!  She can!  

Interesting - I don't remember either A) letting her chew on my sunglasses or B) taking pictures of it!

AHA!  Busted!

Be on the lookout for future pictures of me letting her chew his Cardinals cap.

Yet another foot picture.

Adorable dress - thank you jOy!

Adorable shoes - thank you Kala!

Look at those teeth!  (If I'd known they were showing in this picture, maybe we wouldn't have manhandled her for a tooth picture later on.  You'll see...)

Awwwwwwwwwwww.

Attempted family portrait.

Better.

Hmmm.  This explains why Joe wanted pictures of us!

Baby butt on display!

Joe thinks Jaynie has quite a future as a dentist.

Think Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors.

He retaliates by making all the blood rush to her head.

Mellow, post-bath baby.

Is it story time???!!!???

Yay!  I love story time!

OMG.  The cutest freaking kid in the world.

She's a princess and she knows it.

Finally she has the appropriate wardrobe!

Yah, Mom, it's about time you bought me a shirt like this!

Now the world will know!

Look out for Princess Jaynie!

Teeth picture.  =)

MMMMMmmmmmmmm!  Sweet Potatoes!

Uh oh - baby with a spoon!

Hmmm.  Maybe giving her that spoon was a bad idea.  She seems to be wearing an awful lot of that meal.

Just hanging out with my Daddy.

Cheese!

Look!  I'm a Princess!!!

It says so right here on these pj's!

A chubby Princess, but still royalty! =)

Who needs a computer monitor that is actually bigger than the tv in the den?  Apparently Joe does!

That is PRINCESS Jaynie to you, Momma!

What was that?  Did I hear you giggle?

This picture is so sweet, I'm having a hard time coming up with a funny caption.  Awwwww.

The thing about this kid is that not only is she super cute, but she KNOWS she's super cute!

I forgot the flash, but I had to keep the picture.  Look at that happy face!

Bedtime stories with the Daddy.

Look at that big toe.  It's verrrrry interested in the stories.

Avacado baby!

Mmmmmm.  Guacomole!

What you lookin at, Momma?

I don't think I feel like a photo shoot right now, thanks.

I'm outta here!  (The problem with the crawling baby is it's making it harder and harder to get pictures of her.  You wouldn't believe how many I have that are just like this - a shot of the ear as she crawls away!)

Mmmm!  Another new food!

Yogurt baby!

This stuff is delicious!

And so good for the skin, too!

Heehee.  Yummmmm.

Completely asleep, butt in the air. =)

Baby in a cute hat!

Oh Momma, why do you do these things to me?

Well baby, it's like this.  I'm the Mom, so I can pretty much dress you up in any ridiculous thing I want, and you can't do a thing about it.

GASP!

Heh.  I'll remember this when you're too old to dress yourself, you know.

Jaynie forgets all about the embarassing lamb hat when Clarence is put within reach.

Victoria, however, is stunned that Jaynie would permit such humiliation.

Mmmmmmmm.  Toys.

Jaynie wanna cracker?

Huh!

In the mouth?

Mmmmmmm!  Not bad!

I can't come up with a quote funny enough for this picture.  The look on her face is enough.

No more?  What? 

Naked baby in the kitchen!!!  Somebody call the Dept. of Health!

He's a brave (re: stupid) man.

All dressed and ready for bed.  How cute is this baby?????

Chubby bunny!

We got this outfit for Halloween.

Then we had a cold front come through.

Jaynie and I were bored inside, and wanted to go out.

I looked through her clothes for something warm to wear, and this was the warmest I could find.

I guess I could buy her a winter coat, but would it be this cute?

I doubt it!

Joe came home from work to find a chubby bunny out on the lawn.

Daddies.  Sheesh.

He says holding a bunny by the legs is kinder than by the ears.  I may not let him near the baby ever again. 

She should've had a V8.

The end.

Joe folded Jaynie's laundry.  How can you tell?  Her little shirts are all folded like his.  He made fun of me for taking this picture, but now I get to make fun of him publicly for folding her shirts like they're on display at the Gap.  So ha!

Madam enjoys a chunk of frozen banana.

MmmmmGood!  Banana-Pop!

Hey!  Are you taking pictures of me when I'm trying to EAT?!?!

My little pumpkin!

I'm gonna get you, Momma!

Here I come!

Heeheeheeee.

This was the day she discovered that she didn't need to stay in the nursery if she didn't want to.

She immediately high-tailed it to the bathroom.

Ack!  Tooooo cute for words!

Pumpkin girl!

I love these pictures.

Momma and her little pumpkin.

Happy Halloween everybody!

And thank you Gil and Evie.

For this fantastic outfit!

Look how cute I am!  

Daddy and the pumpkin girl.

He put that on her lap and said "Now we're both holding little pumpkins!" =)

This place is GREAT!

Fresh air, straw to play with...

Eh - actually, I think I'm done here.  Home, Jeeves!

This new crawling development is hell on the cats.

I'm gonna get you George!

No fair!  Come back!

I swear I don't just put this hat on her for my own amusement - it was very chilly out that day.

Sure Mom, sure.

Kitty Power!!!

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Jaynie - are you watching that tv?

Me? Never!  I'm reading my books here!

Ahhhh.  So much for my little baby.

Now she's a big girl that crawls over to anything that looks sturdy enough, and pulls up on it!

Daddy gives her a hand up.

And I do mean A hand!

There's something on this stool!

Almost got it...

Ah - it was just my book!  Hey - did you guys put that there on purpose to get pictures of me standing?  Huh?  Hmph. 

Jaynie and Ethan go trick or treating a week early at "Boo at the Zoo".  Jaynie as a pumpkin, Ethan as a preppie. =)

Momma as a witch.  (No comments from the peanut gallery like "how appropriate" and "but that's what you are every day!")

Helloooooo Momma!

Look at this great box Dad gave me!

I chomp it!  Chomp chomp!

Hey, Mom, can you give me a hand here?

Heehee!  Thanks!

Jaynie's first picnic.

She ate peas out on the lawn.

Mmmph.  

Slurp.

Hmmm - she's right - these ARE peas!

So much for my hopes of another cherry Popsicle. 

Mmmm - yogurt and peas!  Somebody should alert Dannon to this taste sensation!

We cannot resist - when Jaynie gets her head wet Joe and I immediately give her another mohawk. 

When it dries it's even MORE impressive!

Madam does her ballet exercises using the kitchen cart as a bar.

And releve'...  

...and down!

JaynieBaby - can you show the folks at home your one foot / one knee crawl?

Sure Mom!  Here it is!

Anything else you need ?

I could sit and stare right into the camera like an angel.

I could climb you!  I'm gonna get you, Momma!

Or I could just crawl right past you too fast for you to get a good shot.  Ready...

Go!  =)

Daddy and Jaynie bonding over bathwater.

Cheeeeeeeeese!

The two of them got all dressed up to watch the Cardinals play in the World Series.

Go Cards!

Jaynie chomps the mascot.  Chomp!

Awwwww.  I luuuurve them.

Hi Mom!

Hey, Mom?  What's with this gate????

It's like you don't trust me to stay in my room or somethin!

Looks like sweet potatoes for dinner, with a yogurt dessert.

Yummmmm!

What's that I see???

Is it Jaynie standing up, not holding on to anything!?!?

Haha!  Look at meeeeee!

We went away for the weekend and didn't bring the ducky tub.

Jaynie LOVED having the entire big tub to splash in.

This is what I think of being trapped in that duck! Thhhhhhhbbbbbbbtt!

Clean baby in a towel!

What a cute little muffin she is!

Happy Halloween!  Hey - who gave that baby a blow pop???

Aha!

Here are some FANTASTIC shots of the baby through a bunch of balloons.  Sigh.

I'm not real sure why he didn't just ask us to move over a bit...

I guess all that sugar was making him a little loopy.  (What - you think we donated the candy people gave Jaynie to charity or something???)

It ended up being tooooo hot for the bunny costume.  (There's $20 we'll never see again.)

Thank goodness we had this adorable pumpkin outfit to wear instead!  Thanks Gil and Evie! =)
