Jane: 2 Years, 8 Months



Jane LOVES the babies. She always wants to "pet" them. She still loves to feed and hold Cora but Cora is almost as big as she is!

Jane weighs 31lbs. We went to the pediatrician yesterday to get some places checked out on her legs. She has had this one spot on the top of her right foot/ankle that started really small probably 1.5 years ago now. It looked like a little cigarette burn (not that it would be since we don't smoke) or possibly a scar from scratching a mosquito bite. I've asked the pediatrician about it several times over the past year and she's always just told me to watch it. Well it grew and at first I thought it was just growing as her skin was growing and stretching but lately it's grown alot and is now bigger than the size of a quarter! When I started noticing other smaller ones on her other foot I took her in... and she has ringworm! And she's had it for over a year! I just couldn't believe it. We're using a topical prescription cream for the next 4 to 6 weeks. :(

Some of our favorites words/phrases are...

She's throw-up-ing.
pillow suitcase- aka pillowcase
She calls her prescription cream "sour cream"
sike= skype "I wanna sike Grammie."
is sucking= disgusting
bike= bite
sirk= skirt

Speaking of "sirks," Jane loves them. She loves to change her clothes now that she can do it herself and you most often find her in a "sirk."

She also loves pockets. Here she is tucking her sunglasses into her "pocket."


Jane LOVES to color! Often times at night and even random times during the day I'll find her at her little table coloring. She'll sit there for sometime 20-30 minutes coloring. And she's really good (or at least I think so ;)

Cora LIVE!

We used to do this to Jane and she would start blinking and bracing herself when she would hear me draw in a breath. I told Rob the other day that I wasn't sure Cora was as sharp as Jane because she didn't do that. :) Right after I said that she started doing it. It's official, her brain works!



Her new favorite trick. Jane never did this. I love that she's her own little person!



I have a video on youtube that was taken about a week before this one and is the exact same scenario... except Cora never smiles. Hilarious.
