Creating a beautiful life together!

Pretty girl

You might notice a little scratch on her face above. Stupid Cosmo. Our Great Dane jumped ont he bed when he was not supposed to. :( It is truly sad when they get little ouchies, but I am so grateful that nothing worse happened than a big scare and a scratch on the face!
Not going to be able to keep the windows open when she is around!
We found one thing that Jane will always chase down - my mom. We were at my parents' house this last weekend, and whenever my mom got up to go into the kitchen, Jane was soon crawling after her. It was so sweet!

That beautiful little blue outfit above is a size 18-months! Most of her normal clothes are 12-months now. At her six-month check-up, she weighed 21.3 lbs. and was 29 in. long - above the 95th percentile in both height and weight! She is a big, healthy girl, and we are so grateful.

Some fairly recent pictures

I know, it's been a long time. But, here is an update on Jane with some recent pictures! My most recent crop, a nice bunch of like 60 pictures, got deleted from my camera card during a computer crash! Grrrrrrr! But, Jane being the only child and all, we have LOTS more to choose from. :) (C'mon, you know you did it too.)
So here is the scoop on Jane - as of Sunday she is now eight months old. Crazy! Time has really flown. She is now crawling everywhere and getting into everything, including not always sitting still for pictures (as you can see above)! This last weekend she also began to pull herself to standing, and now she does that all the time. I just hope she doesn't start walking soon! She is growing up too fast for me.
She has some lovely ashy blond hair now, not long enough to do much with so we stick with headbands and bows for accessories. However, no teeth have decided to show themselves yet.
She has discovered all the fun things she can do with her mouth and she makes wonderful little funny faces.
See, it's not because she didn't like her peas. She is eating baby food now, all kinds of fruits and vegetables with some rice cereal and oatmeal mixed in.

Goofy Dougy

Some goofy shots

We also have a lot of fun during the photo shoots with Chad. Unlike other photographers that force you into uncomfortable or cheesy poses, he's really easy to work with.
I was picturing seahorses and stuff...

Heisman winner?
Okay, so Jane doesn't *try* to be goofy, but it comes across that way sometimes.

A white backdrop is pretty cool

We actually took the pictures in a church against a white backdrop - pretty cool, huh?



(Hello, we're in Texas...)

The COOL pictures!

We have a great friend named Chad Wright who is a photographer and marketing dude. He is extremely talented and we are happy to have had a couple photo shoots with him. At the end of October we had a shoot as a family. I am going to put up a few posts with pictures.
We brought all the dogs for a few pictures. If you saw our Christmas card, you saw that we only featured Cosmo, our Great Dane, on it. Unfortunately (for us), the little dogs have gone to live with my parents for the time being. I say unfortunately for us because I think it is great for them (and for my parents). They need a lot of love and attention, and they can get that now. With a nice backyard without crummy St. Augustine grass to boot. It was strange to go visit my family last weekend and see them there, but it was good. And they keep my parents company now that we are here in Austin and my brother is back at college.

A new year and a big baby!

Jane is getting soooooooo big and wonderful these days. Here are just a few pictures to start. She is now six months old, and I haven't gotten her to the pediatrician yet to see how she stacks up against the competition, but we're all pretty sure she's at the top of the charts, seeing as how she is transitioning from 9-month to 12-month clothes.
Happy little girl (most of the time).
She spends a lot of time screeching these days and she is using her voice to practice lovely little babbling sounds.
She is also very strong! She sits on her own, scoots herself backwards and rotates in a circle - thankfully no forward motion yet, although we can tell it is coming soon.
No teeth either - but yay for HAIR!

Oh my - a whole month!

Ug! I can't believe I accidentally deleted everything I just wrote! Bleg! Oh well. Jane is now four months old. At her appointment, she weighed 16.2 lbs. and was 26 in. long. That put her in the 90th and 95th percentiles for weight and height, respectively. She is doing wonderfully! She comes to the office with me every day, and everyone loves to see her and talk to her. At least she is getting a lot of interaction with other people. Here are some pictures to enjoy!
