The morning after a long, hard night.

Considering how wide away Jaynie looks, you'd think we took this photo at 1am instead of 1pm.

What is Daddy doing to me?!?  Make it stop!

What was that?  If you wanna do that again, you'd better shave first!

A homemade dress from Mema, worn on...  Well, whatever the one month "anniversary" of your birthday is called.

Looks like it's time to change that diaper.

Jaynie strikes the Heisman pose.

Oh!  I'm surrounded by idiots!  Daddy, I'm a girl!  I can't win the Heisman!

Jaynie strikes her Supergirl pose

The cats want to know what's going on, and why we don't take as many photos of them as we used to.

"If you don't stop it with that strobe-light-thing, I'm gonna knock you out!" 

"You think I'm kidding!"  (Must...control...fist...of...death!)

"Fine, then.  I'll just pretend I'm catatonic and pretend you're not even there."

This kid really thinks she's Supergirl.

Only, instead of getting her power from the Sun, she gets it from checkerboard patterns.

Jaynie's getting ready for her first walk

Jaynie on her first walk.

Post-walk Jaynie.  Notice that she's wearing a different outfit than when we left.  We had a blowout (and I don't mean a flat tire).

The pediatrician's attempt at curing Jaynie's thrush.  It was directly applied to the inside of her mouth, and it looked like lipstick when she was done.  However, Jaynie's palette wasn't the only place it was applied to.  Notice in the above picture that the medicine is only on one cheek (after the first half of her meal).

Notice in this photo that, after finishing her dinner, it is all over her face.

Now, notice Mommy's nursing pad on the arm of the chair.

A friend's baby was born about 7 weeks before Jaynie -- he weighed a pound more when he was born than Jaynie weighs now.  Look at the difference between her thigh and his!  It's like comparing my butt to Suzannes!

Mommy rubbed away all of Jaynie's hair in attempt to scrub away her dry skin.

Doesn't she look a little like an alien here?  I'm considering a DNA test.

Jaynie's getting angry!

Or maybe just bald.

Mommy tries in vain...

to adjust Jaynie's sleep cycle to that of mortals rather than vampires.

Jaynie falls asleep reading Daddy's textbook.

Here comes Jaynie Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail...

"What is this thing on my head?"

We're so mean to this kid.

For Easter, Jaynie received three books, a stuffed bunny, and a chocolate rabbit that mysteriously disappeared shortly after these photos were taken.

The reason her mouth is open for most of these photos is because Jaynie has (another) case of the "Easter hiccups."

Since I know you are thinking it, yes, that little head thing is to distract the viewer from all the hair her Mommy rubbed off.

"Geez, not the camera again!"

Not all photos of Jaynie turn out as perfect as you'd think by looking at this site!

Though every picture is super cute.

So often, I want to use the exact same caption for a dozen (or three dozen) different photos:  "Is this the best looking baby on the planet, or what?"

You gotta love the feet.

"GET THIS THING OFF OF MY HEAD!"

Still learning how to properly suck her thumb.

Interesting sleep position...  Reminds me of a cat.

Talking to Mema on the telephone.

"Can you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?  Quit taking photos of me."

Jaynie is too fast for the camera...

What is she doing with her hand?

Not stretching.

Sleeping.

Jaynie's first bottle.

Jaynie's second bottle.  Jennifer is right, feeding this kid sucks the energy right out of you.

This kid woke up in a very good mood.  That's how it works, more often than not.

It sure didn't take Jaynie long to pick up Mommy's bad habits.

(Jennifer has pointed out to me that Jaynie is not, in fact, picking her nose in this photo.  My bad.)

The Newland's first meeting with Jaynie.

The center of attention.

Jaynie with Poppy's newest woodcut.

How many Newlands does it take to build a baby swing?

Suzanne apparently entertains Jaynie about as much as she entertains the rest of us.
