We celebrated Jane's 1st birthday a month late when Jed's siblings were here the beginning of January. I was hoping she would dig into the cake a little more than she did. She is usually such a mess running a fork covered with syrup through her hair or grabbing handfuls of food and shoving them in her mouth. Oh well, at least she dug in a little bit!
Janie was sick on her birthday which is why we celebrated later. She had Roseola, which is not fun. She had a rash and fever for about a week followed by another week of a cold and teething (which she does not do gracefully). She cut four teeth all at once and had hives all over. Needless to say it was rough going! It makes me appreciate good health.
While Jane does not enjoy the actual time in the bath, she LOVES to run around naked after. I guess it's the age for that though, and I just think it's so cute! She runs around laughing and like to throw things into the tub for Eli.
Jane also loves to climb into or onto things. I find her in the toy box a lot. She and Eli like to climb on top of the toy box and give "speeches". Jane's involves a lot of gibberish yelling. She loves to say "ut-oh!" for everything. She also says, "mamma", "dada" , "ba", for ball, "da", for doll. She plays with our old cell phones and says "he-yo".
Jane loves kisses, especially for dad. She gets him right on the lips! She is good at cuddling her dolls before she tries to poke their eyes out and chucks them. She loves falling down on the bed and wrestling, but very gently. She is also a very talented dancer, bouncing up and down and shaking her head. Lately it looks like she is trying to beat-box while dancing. She swings her arms crossing them in front of her and spitting. She makes us laugh all the time!
She knows how to keeps herself busy (unless I'm cooking or taking a shower) she takes things from one room to another, drops them off and picks up something else to move to another room. The other day I found the floss in a kitchen drawer, a remote in the cupboard and a little book in one of my pans.
Jane has already developed a love for shoes. She will bring me shoes and beg to have me put them on. Sometimes we have to change the ones I chose for her and put on the ones she likes better. Yesterday she was wearing one boot and one Sunday shoe for most of the afternoon. This morning she pulled out one of my high heels and was looking fondly at it. So funny!
