December II

Jane got some new bows in the mail, but I didn't wait until Christmas to start using them.

Helping Scott with his Spanish lesson.

Not happy about being removed from the action.

Very happy about snuggles with daddy.

Her eyes are so beautiful, but the camera only really captures them properly in the daylight. So striking and bright.

Little ruffle bum.

Scott got some size 8 clothes from my friend's son  and he looks even taller and thinner than ever.

Chunky nakie baby

Jonah loves holding Jane.

Even when she grabs at his face.

Sucking her baby thumb. Lately I can put her in bed tired and she'll suck her thumb to fall asleep. I'm really trying to encourage that so she won't be dependent on bottles.

Little elf

Everyone needed a picture with her cuteness

Family movie night

When Amanda was over, she read Harry Potter to them by Christmas tree light. They were trying to have a sleepover, but one by one they ended up in their bedroom.

Perry in racing position, ready to run home from school with me. I love his big sweatshirt and soft leggings, he looks so cozy.

Jane thrilled to be grocery shopping.

Snuggle time after we got home.

Jonah's teacher gave us a drawing activity to try, which we did after dinner together and it was really fun. 

Helping John take out the recycling.

She throws the best shade

Perry decorating Christmas cookies. His approach was the more sprinkles, the better.

She can reach the toys in the bouncer now, so she likes it a little more, but is getting too wriggly and heavy for it.

Seeing who can grab their toes like Jane.

I was most flexible after Jane.

Jane and Amanda Jane.

Well hello there!

Happy baby position is called that for a reason.

Jonah's lego creation

Scott playing with his robotics kit.

Perry in full Catboy costume

Jane happy to have everyone home for break.

Having a little taste of her dress

She loves standing up

Perry fell asleep on the way to Miranda's to feed the cats again. He said I was really tired, I just needed a little rest.

They loved giving the cat treats and playing with the laser pointer. The other cat never came out of hiding.

Jane loved their leather sofa.

No concept of personal space for either of them.

Such sweeties

Such a tiny, big girl

I sat her up more so she looks more proportionate.

Such cute little bloomers. Joseph and Adelaide sent Jane this outfit and I love it.

Changed into her stretchier, softer dress after church.

Getting distracted by noises. Her face cracks me up. Excuse me? I'm trying to eat over here.

Holding Jane in her pjs and they're both awake. A rare sight.

Jane watched the boys take care of guinea pigs at another friend's house. She loves the leather, just scratches it with her fingers.

This is the more common picture. Jane wore him right out.

She's alert and ready for more.

Sporting the dino jams like her brothers before her.

Walking around the park while the big kids play on the playground.

Broke out our new puzzle Katie and Ryan gave us for Christmas.

John and I finished it on New Years Eve while watching the Mandalorian. Perfect end to the year.
