a tiny update

2009-05-30T16:08:00.000-07:00

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.

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

2009-02-05T08:18:00.000-08:00

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.

Very Belated Birthday Post and update

2008-10-14T07:13:00.000-07:00

Jodie turned 1 Sept, 17th.

Se loves cars so much so we got her a car for her birthday and her daddy made her a car cake.
She cleans up after herself, loves anything with wheels, balls, sword fighting and she's got that girly love of SHOES, when she gets a new pair she gets sooooo excited, has to put them on.
She's finally gotten her 4 top front teeth in her 12th month, eats well. She's got plenty of personality, yells her dad's name when its time to eat and he's late. Her fav cartoon is Lion king, she stands by the computer roaring, waiting for someone to come and put it on. There is so much more but I don't want to make this too long.
Thanks Grandma for her Lion King stuffy and Aunty Anna for her barbie laptop and all her friends that gave her little gifts. I know there are tons of pictures here but I liked them all and couldn't cut any, so enjoy all of them or some of them. Thanks for the pics Jonny.

She discovered the tap outside and LOVES it

When someone is playing piano she does the cutest thing, she has to go on her tippy toes to reach and she plunks along, barely reaching the keys.

Don't know why but I love pictures of her sleeping

she loves soccer balls

9 month update

2008-07-09T12:31:00.000-07:00

This month has been a big month for Jodie. She started walking on her own, standing up from a sitting position on her own, claps her hands in praise for herself - she'll only use it for please when she wants to pull on your heart strings. Her fav place in the house is the stairs, every time she goes up or down she thinks someone should be chasing her and starts getting jumpy and excited hoping for someone to play with her. She eats well and I think is gaining weight cause her cheeks are getting cubbier, I love it.

OH yes, she's gotten her first tooth too. Hurrah!!

The last shot of her stand is a over exposed but she was so pleased with herself that she stood up I had to post her little expression anyway.

8 Month milestones - 8 Kg

2008-05-25T12:53:00.000-07:00

Last month has been a big month for Jodie. She started to get real interested in walking while holding someones hands, she runs or takes GIANT steps, no such thing as baby steps for her. She supports herself real well, has taken her first step and often stands by herself. She's also learnt how to waive "Hi and bye". This week she started crawling but most important of all she started saying "Mama" I knew I could get her to say mama before dada, I LOVE IT.

P.S. Anna pictures as promised

I don't fit, someone take me out.

Her outside swing, she loves it and kicks her legs around

Ok, since this is a blog to keep family and interested friends updated I decided to post something about Jodie milestones every month.
Jodie is 7 months old, rolls, sits up, loves to walk when someone is holding her hands, tries to stand holding onto something but is a bit wobbly, she's got a very loud voice and talks nonsense most of the time. She loves to eat paper and hates food, seals her mouth shut so tight when a spoon comes close, we try to trick her and make her smile so she'll open her mouth but she knows so she smiles with her lips still together.
She thinks she can play piano and gets very excited when she smacks it and it makes noise. She's pays very close attention to detail, she loves to play with the tags on her toys not the toys themselves, she'll notice a tiny little dot in the kitchen or steam and be facinated with that instead of everything else in the kitchen that might be interesting to a baby.
She'll look at designs on clothes and find that much more interesting than a goffy face. She doesn't like new faces but doesn't mind new kids. She's generally a happy baby so all is well.

Oh big news, she's starting to grow some hair on her head :) Mummy is happy.

Little Miss Picky

2007-09-23T12:21:00.000-07:00

She definitely is her mother's daughter. Picky, picky pete. She won't nurse if she has anything in her diaper. She also loves to pick her moments for doing a big poop, like allllll night long. Its amazing how little miss cuteness can make such amazing colorful surprises that don't even fit in her nappy. Bless her little soul.

Pretty in pink

She's a nocturnal baby. Sleeps all day and is up all night. Grandma was an Angel and stayed up all night with her the first night so Michelle could get some rest.

Oh Boy, oh boy it's a girl
