She's so pretty!!

Jessi can put together puzzles! She likes the ones with the pictures underneath so she can match them up. I found her doing one all on her own (photos above). Totally amazed! She is repeating more words and likes to play "ready, set go" to run "really fast!". So sweet... She weighs about 22 lbs.

16 months old

She gives the BEST hugs!!

She is really trying to copy words now. She just learned to say "I love you". This is adorable....

This is an adorable dress from our friends in Sweden. It's made from organic cotton and it is a comfy knit. (it was chilly so I put a shirt under it)

Adorable!

This dress is adorable. It looks like it was recycled from an old pretty pillow case. It came in the mail with no note. Anyone know who this is from??

Ready to go outside.

Too cute

This girl loves shoes

So Jessi loves shoes. She carries hers around a lot. We went to town to take Trisha to her POL classes and I couldn't find one of Jessi's shoes. While we were at Savers I saw these shoes for $3.99. They are camo pink diamond squeakers. Too funny. She loves them. I looked on line and these shoes are usually $30. http://wesqueak.net/ But they are cute. Naked with shoes on. What's better?

First tub bath without Mama- Gabriel got in with her

She loved it!

My sweet little baby has grown so much. She has really left babyness behind- truly a toddler. She loves to do anything "big". She copies off the other kids. She walked around outside for the first time by herself. I am so scared of all the rocks she can trip over. But she did great. She walked for an hour and came in the house, nursed for about 30 seconds and fell completely asleep! She loves being outside. She is totally intrigued with shoes because they are totally the KEY to going outside. We have to had the shoes now in the shoe case because she wants to, gulp, carrying them around. Shoes are dirty, dusty and just plain yucky in this town. So I completely frown upon my baby carrying them around and licking the bottoms. Call me crazy.
