Jodie having fun

a tiny update

There is so much to say about Jodie and her progress over the last few months I wouldn't know where to start. So for now I'll just make it quick.

She's smart, coordinated, intelligent, is starting to talk a lot.
We finally took her swimming the other day for the first time, she loved it and thought she was supposed to march like a German in the water and wouldn't walk any other way.

The gruesome twosome.

Ryan visits Jodie once in a while, Jodie always remembers him and yells his name "RYRY".

The park

She loves kicking the ball around and keeps it in front of her while she runs around the park, I think she'll be a soccer player.

snow in Feb - 16 months

Jodie's been growing so fast and learning so much in the past months. Don't think for one second that babies are dumb, they are incredibly smart.
Jodie knows her colors, her shapes, knows that if she ejects the DVD and pushes it back in a video will come on. She's not saying a lot yet on her own but she copies really well.
She shouts "daddee" when she needs help and keeps calling till he comes.
She's always bundled up because its cold in england so she gets so so so excited and shy when any clothes come off and wants to stare at herself in the mirror.
When she's naughty she gets time out in the corner, the problem is she likes her corner time wants to stay there and gives me a smirk, rascal.
I don't want this to be long but she's grown so much over the past months, I can even put a pony tail in her hair now!!!!

We tried to take her sledding and she hated it, guess she won't have a future in snow sports. Will try to update more regularly.
