Jayda's updates

One thing I think I will always be able to give Jayda credit for is that life is never boring with her around. Just the other day she cut a huge chunk of hair right off the top of her head, better enhancing her already prominent mullet, I don't have pictures quite yet!

Jayda decided about a month ago that she was not going to be taking naps anymore. Glenn and I relented figuring that maybe she was old enough and could handle going through the day without a nap. At first it worked out and we didn't have any problems. After a few weeks though, we started coming across more and more of this at about five in the evening...






Her behavior also seemed to be declining with each passing day. Finally, after a horrible day at the store and two hours of her constant whining and screaming, I put on my mean mommy face and MADE her take a nap! After a lot of resistant, she finally gave in and is now sleeping like a baby. In fact, everyone in my family except for me is sleeping like a baby, which explains the endless blogging!

Jayda also went through a phase where the only thing she wanted to wear was her fluffy whit church dress. I resisted at first, but finally the skirt was ripped one too many times, so now she can wear it whenever she wants. I even caught her in bed with it one, she had changed after we left her room and just zipped it in the front!



I guess one thing I can be grateful for though is that Jayda's got great taste in jewelry. I caught her flipping through my Lia Sophia catalog while watching Dora, that's my girl!



Jayda has become very comfortable going to the kitchen and just getting what she wants, like pretzels, a string cheese, etc. Sometimes I'm okay with it, sometimes I'm not. This was one of those times that I wasn't. She pulled this out and refused to let me microwave it, it's frozen solid!



Jayda has formed a really sweet bond to her Grandpa J, which has been so fun for me to watch, because besides me and my siblings, I've never really seen my dad interact with other kids. And they really love each other. This is Grandpa J teaching Jayda how to drop goldfish crackers into her mouth. They were at this for probably a half hour!


She's a fun girl, but very busy. I'm looking forward to her growing up just a little more, but I'm also really enjoying her at this age, peeing her pants and everything. This age goes by so fast and there's just no need to rush it!
