She has already learned how to get into it!

Standing up.....

She thought she was such a big girl standing up in it!!

Update/Christmas

Here are a bunch of pictures from the past couple of weeks! We had a wondeful Christmas! Joshua and I had our ultrasound on Christmas Eve and found out we are having a boy, Jace Douglas!!! Jayna enjoyed Christmas, but didn't have much to do with opening up presents!

Other than that, we are just getting ready for her party tomorrow. Jayna has been a little under the weather. She woke up Monday morning with a cold. By Wednesday it was pretty bad and we ended up at the pedi's. After a breathing treatment (boy was that fun, thank goodness Grandpa came with us to help hold her), we were sent home with antibiotics and an inhaler (more fun!). She seems to be feeling some better now, but we are still using the inhaler every 4 hours or so to help her breathe. She just keeps going and going though!!! We head back to the pedi's next week for her one-year appointment and shots. We probably won't be able to move her forward facing yet though, she only weighed in at 19lbs. 4oz. This was the same as it was 2 months ago! She eats tons, but is so active that she burns it off so quickly!

Jayna opening up a gift (one of a couple she attempted to open).

Jayna in the huge stocking we got for her!!
Jayna and her piano...she loves this thing (minus the seat she kept taking off and throwing elsewhere!). She goes over to it and presses a key and it starts playing music, she just laughs and dances to it!

Jayna and her piano again.

Jayna with Pooh and her new backpack!

Jayna sitting in her Elmo chair from Granny holding her Pooh bear from Daddy and her backpack from the both of us!

Jayna in her Badgers onesie!! Great Uncle Larry and Great Aunt Laura gave it to her when we were up in Wisconsin back in February!!!

Jayna on Christmas Eve with her new bag and book from Aunt Stacie!!

Jayna playing with the big snowglobe.

This was taken a couple weeks ago.

Playing with Christmas lights before we put them up (she was more interested in her baby doll from Great Grandma Combs).

Playing with all the ornaments.

Sitting with Mommy when we were putting the tree up.

She finally has enough hair to put things in it (when she lets me)!!!

Christmas Pics

Here are a bunch of Christmas pictures from this past weekend.

We went and saw Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus at the mall on Saturday. Jayna did not like Santa! This picture was snapped before she started crying.

On Sunday we went to Lights of Lakeland and Santa and Mrs. Claus were there too. Again, she wanted NOTHING to do with Santa. She had a death grip on Daddy and Mommy and refused to go.

Nana with Jayna and Thomas. Nana was holding Thomas and Jayna just had to go to her too...a little jealous??Papa, Jayna and Thomas. Again, Papa was holding Thomas and Jayna had to go to him too.

Jayna on Aunt Stacie's shoulders.

Jayna with Papa. She was VERY tired. We had been to church that morning, out to lunch with everyone and then went to Nana and Papa's before going to Lights of Lakeland.

Jayna with Snow White...the only character she would go to (this was before Santa).

These are non-Christmas ones, but were too cute not to post.

Jayna and her cheesy smile.


Everything is going great here. Jayna is walking really well now and is becoming so independent.

Joshua and I are off to the doctor's next week for our gender ultrasound on Christmas Eve!! So should have more news to post by then, if the baby cooperates!

Videos and Pictures

Here are some videos and pictures!

Jayna found this battery operated dachshund in the TV stand the other day. She was a bit scared of it!

I bought some mittens for Jayna from Target. She was not too happy with them on! She couldn't pull the DVD's off the shelf!

Here is one of Jayna playing one evening.

Here are the ultrasound pictures from 12 weeks (October!). They aren't the greatest, but it was hard to get a good picture when the baby was moving constantly!

And here is 15 weeks (8 weeks first for comparison):

And here is Jayna and Cooper (a rare photo).

Update!

It's been awhile since I've updated, so thought I'd just do a quick one. I have a couple videos to post, but I'll try and do them later as one is long and will take awhile to upload. Here are a few pictures from Halloween...I know a little late, but they are too cute not to post!

Jayna is doing great! She is walking a lot more now and getting better at it day-by-day. We are currently teething molars! The first 8 teeth weren't bad at all, but these molars are a major pain. Nothing is touching the pain, so we finally had to go get some Wild Turkey to put on her gums. That does the trick. Hopefully they'll come through soon... Jayna has waved bye-bye for a long time, but only did it occasionally. She has started to wave bye-bye whenever you say it as well as say bye (it is more like 'bah'). She also started clapping to music at church on Sunday, it was soo cute!

I had a doctor's appointment a few weeks ago and the baby is doing great! It was moving around quite a bit. I'll have to scan the ultrasound pictures and post them. They aren't very clear since the baby was moving so much though. I was measuring a few days ahead, so they moved my due date to May 13. So we are probably looking at the end of April! My next appointment is next week and we get to hear the heartbeat!

Just a busy time of year, so I'll try to update when I can. Next week we are off camping for Thanksgiving with Nana and Papa!

Jayna and Thomas trick-or-treating at Nana's house!

Kelly, Jayna, Joshua, Stacie, Thomas and Michael

At Nana's House before trick-or-treating!

My favorite picture! Jayna and Papa on his motorcycle!

Jayna Walking!!!

Alright, here are the walking videos!! Jayna let loose today and has started to just walk around the house by herself. She will take about 5-6 steps and eventually fall down, but it won't be too long before she is really walking! Sorry that they are so dark. I'll try and get some more in the next couple of days!

In this one she walked towards the dog and then stopped and stood there for a moment!

Pictures!

Here are some recent pictures of Jayna. I'll post some from Halloween in the next few days or so.

Here is Jayna on her rocking horse from Grandpa and Grammy!

Jayna playing.

Jayna playing again.

In the bathtub with bubbles (Grammy put bubbles all over her!).

Here is a video of Jayna pushing her walker around the house. She takes a few steps by herself here and there, but hasn't mastered walking by herself completely yet. It won't be long!
