A Few Pictures with Dad

I believe they are both quite smitten with each other.

Trying to Find My Motivation

I haven't had much urge to blog lately. Too busy, tired, otherwise occupied I suppose. But the joy and wonder continue in our household. Jia is in a growth spurt so I got to splurge on clothes! Yooo hooo! I feel guilty if I buy anything for myself but not so with Jia. And I did get some screaming cute stuff at Gymboree yesterday! Ah, retail therapy. Jia hates Target though. Who could possibly hate Target? I LOVE Target. But Jia poops everytime we go there. What's up with that? It could be the third of the day but still, she poops. So her dad is very thankful b/c this means early departure and sometimes $0 expenditure!

Here are a few great pics from the last week or two. I have so many it's hard to figure out which ones to choose. I have a bunch of great pics my brother sent me of Jia with her Aunt LaLa but first I have to download those from email. I'll find the time!

Oh - that last picture? What the heck, right? Jia now tries to turn every possible surface into a chair. This is the bench to her miniature piano that her Grandma Barbara got her for Christmas. Whatever! She is adorable! And, as you can see, busy, busy, busy.

Our Nature Girl

Jia is a big girl now. Period. Done with crib. Hates diaper changes. Understands everyword that comes out of our mouths. Every former curse word is now "boinga" - (you'll understand where that comes from if you have the pleasure of watching Noggin' 24/7). She has an opinion about food, bathtime, shoes, clothes, activities - you name it. Is this normal for 20 months? I figured I had until at least 16 until this happened. Sigh. Here are some beautiful pictures of Jia with her Grandma this past weekend. They are great pals. I am indescribeably lucky to have such a wonderful mom who is such an incredible grandma. They feed the birds, explore the yard and generally have a grand time with one another.
