Jaina

Jaina is growing and changing so much right now, I just had to write about her a little bit! We meant to get her a stroller to go with her dolly for her birthday, (back in December) but since she still wasn't even walking at that point, it kind of went on the back burner. Seeing how much fun she had with her friend's stroller, we finally remembered to get her one the other day. She is in love with it!

She is still obsessed with eating, but has gotten MUCH pickier. The only things that are always accepted are yogurt (accompanied by a happy-joy dance)... okay, that's the only one I can think of that she's never refused. (well, except for fruit snacks) She will usually accept cheese, rice cakes, cereal (with milk), fruit, dried fruit, milk, and pasta. She will often eat other things, but it's anyone's guess moment-to-moment. She does NOT like juice, and she gets tired of things easily. Still, she is constantly asking for something to eat, and just as often, actually wants "Up!" in her high chair to do it. Sigh.

If she's not having a stellar day, just telling her "no!" might lead to prolonged pouting where she drops down and stares at the floor, deciding whether to cry or not. She will NOT look up at our faces until she's done. Funny, most of the time...

She has finally learned how to start going down the stairs, which is awesome! I'm still not used to it though, and forget (especially when we're on the top floor) that she can escape downwards now... She is actually pretty excited about anything that pushes, and loves to move things around and manipulate them in any way possible!

She is a sweetheart, and I'm excited to see how much learning and growing she has ahead of her this summer! Now if it would only STAY warm, so she could wear all her cute summer stuff...
