Here we have random cute pictures of the Twinkie.
|
Sometimes I start taking pics and I just can't stop.
|
Standing up - like it's no big deal.
|
Is that your duck?!
|
It sure is, Momma! You wanna hold him?
|
I need both hands to teach this thing a lesson.
|
A lesson in CHOMPING! Ha!
|
More standing. What a big girl. (sniff sniff)
|
Eventually, if you chomp a duck enough...
|
...he chomps back.
|
Whoa. I didn't see that coming.
|
I will try to be nicer to this ducky from now on, Momma.
|
I can be good! I can be nice to him.
|
Look at this angelic face! Does this look like the face of a
duck-chomper?
|
Aaaah! I couldn't help myself.
|
But I held out for, what, 20 seconds?
|
That's not bad at all!
|
Jaynie - show me your belly!
|
Belly belly belly!!!
|
|
|
Ooooh! Peas and carrots for dinner!
|
Yummmm.
|
Drunk on peas.
|
Trying to decide between a pea or a carrot...
|
Ah - whatever! I'll eat them both!
|
She loves her veggies.
|
Heeheeheeeeeee
|
Oh peas! How I love thee's!
|
What Mom? You want me to do the "Yeah!"?
|
Ok ok - YEAH!
|
This is Madam blowing kisses. Mmmm...
|
...Mwaaaa!
|
I love you, Momma! (Of course - the kisses could've been for the
peas for all I know.)

She started off the day with pig-tails and an unstained shirt.
|
Unfortunately I didn't bother to pull out the camera until after lunch.
|
If you are wondering what makes pink stains, the answer is - strawberry
applesauce.
|
And the pig-tails? Well - Jaynie only puts up with them for so
long. =)
|
Then we move to the "Pebbles" hairdo.
|
Jaynie - who do you want to be your Valentine???
|
Gee, Mom, I thought the shirt was a dead give-a-way! (We were each other's
Valentines. We gave hugs and kisses and snuggles all day long.)
|
|
|
Hi Mom! Let's read some books!
|
I've got this one all opened and ready to go!
|
Haha! I love stories! =)
|
15 Feb.
Early morning shenanigans.
|
Well hellooooo, Momma!
|
I didn't wake you up, did I?
|
I don't care if this is blurry - I think it's great. And so does
Suz, the photography major, so it must be true!
|
You didn't think my bed was duck-free, did you?
|
Is it just me or do they have the same expression on their faces here?
=)
|
|
|
Still working on self-feeding.
|
She sure does love a nice yogurt mess, doesn't she!
|
Yeah I love it!
|
It's fun, and good for the skin!
|
You should try it, Mom! (hint hint)
|
|
|
After that super-messy breakfast, poor Madam was subjected to an
early-morning shower.
|
Jaynie - can you show me your belly?
|
Heehee! There it is!
|
Yeah, I know that one already Mom! Now teach me where my nose is!
|
Awww - sitting in her chair like a big girl.
|
Uh, Jaynie - you are supposed to SIT in that chair!
|
Sigh. I should've never let her hang out with Zoe, the
climber.
(AKA - the "bad influence")
|
|
|
Yes - this is a picture of the baby in the middle of Target.
|
Yes - people look at you funny when you are taking pictures of your
baby in the middle of Target.
|
|
|
Yeah! Quesadillas for lunch!
|
These are delicious!
|
Mmmmmm.
|
Chomp!
|
Uh oh - I think I dropped some.
|
Ahhh. I love it.
|
That was pretty good Mom. Now let's hit the cookie stand!
|
|
|
We almost made it out of the mall before she took out the pigtails.
|
(Yes, people look at you funny when you're taking pictures of
your crazy-haired baby in the middle of Dillards.)
|
|
|
I just felt like every picture I've taken of her since Joe left has
been in the nursery.
|
And wouldn't it be nice to have a little variety!
|
And I was right! Look how great all these came out! What a
fun day we had. =)
|

Jaynie poses with me for some birthday pics.
|
Seriously - we are two gorgeous girls!
|
Inside Olive Garden (where do you lunch on your birthday?) - what's she
laughing at?
|
It's Aunty Suz! Tickling the baby right there in the restaurant!
|
Oh Aunty Suz, you sure are funny!
|
More outside pictures. Maybe the cutest one of Jaynie EVER.
|
All three girls.
|
|
|
It occurred to me that I've been wearing Jaynie like this for months,
and had no pictures of it.
|
So here is Madam wrapped up close to Mommy. So comfy!
|
|
|
A baby's day is not all fun and games.
|
Every now and then, the bossy mean big people strap you down to a chair
for no good reason!
|
Mom - are we there yet? Can you get me OUT OF THIS THING???
|
|
|
Miss Jaynie going for a little walk with her hippo.
|
Doot - do - dooo. What? I'm walking here!
|
|
|
Hmmm. The lens cap seems to have come off the lens again, Momma.
|
Here - let me get that for you.
|
(What you are looking at here is the lens cap, and an extreme close-up
of her chubby fingers trying to fit it back onto the camera. Sigh.)
|
|
|
Here George! You want a drink of water from my duck?
|
Oh! The duck and the frog are squirting me!
|
Hahahaa. I love the bath!
|
I could use a little more hot water though, Mom.
|
I can't remember for sure, but going on that intent look on her face,
I'm assuming the cat came back into range..
|
Ooh! Who is that gorgeous baby in the mirror?
|
It's ME! Aaaahhhhhhh!
|

Oh my goodness! Jaynie! Who got you that cuuuuute outfit?
|
Grandpa Guy sent it to me! Yeah!
|
Look how nicely it goes with my duck!
|
Are you through yet? I'll just relax here until you put the
camera down.
|
Mom - you are picture obsessed, but I still love you.
|
|
|
Wow. I must be getting better at this baby massage thing.
|
Because what you are looking at are pictures of her passed out on the
CHANGING TABLE after getting her legs and feet lotioned.
|
I took the opportunity to take lots of sleeping baby pictures.
|
I mean - how could I not?
|
I'm just thrilled the camera was within reach when she fell asleep!
|
Sweet little hand.
|
Greasy foot. =)
