5 monthes later...




So, Jonathan is fired and I am taking over the blog. I can spell better than he can anyway! :) Ja`el is now a one year old. It makes me so sad to think that my little girl is already a toddler and no longer my little baby. And I am not sure if I would even call her a toddler either. She does not toddle whatsoever. She is more like a bumble bee, buzzing everywhere and never landing for longer than 5 seconds or so. She is still in an infant car seat facing backward because she is still under 20 pounds. The doctor was a little concerned until she spent some time with her in the office. "oh", she said "you have a VERY ACTIVE little girl" and sent us packing with a list of high fat foods. Along with perfecting walking, she has a litany of words in her word bank (her favorite being "pretty")but she also has made up her ownlanguage as well. At first I thought she was just making noises until I went into her room one day and she was telling me all about what her toys did, pointing and allowing her pitch to rise and fall with her excitement. I have no idea what she was telling me, but it was intense. (and no, she is still not sleeping through the night -sigh-)
Jonathan is also another year older. He has been healing slowly after knee surgery in June and has been telling me about how he wants to see the mountains covered in snow already. Terrifying thought to me. He just ordered ANOTHER pair of skies (I think this makes 5)but I think that my real rival for #1 place is in heart is cycling...Either that or "the West Wing".
