Jane's first time fishing. well with us while fishing (mid june)	At the park in may (nice hair dan)

We took Jane to the petting zoo last week. There's just regular farm animals but it was really fun. She liked the baby deer and the cows the best. We didn't actulaly get to pet the animals because we were wearing sandals but we walked around and looked at all of them. She loves animals -- especially dogs which means we'll probably eventually have to get one. She was following this puppy around at a barbecue we went to, letting it nuzzle her lick her toes. She also watches the squirrels outside of our window in the morning.

It applies to babies too....

So the other day i was going to take jane into the shower with me to give her a bath. On the way in I realized I needed to go to the bathroom. So not wanting to let the naked child crawl all about the house I decided to hold her hand while she stood next to me.

The first thought that comes into my head is "I wonder if hearing water running makes babies need to pee too?" As if in answer to my question Jane looks at me, smiles, and pees all over the floor and herself. It was one of the funniest and cutest thing she's ever done -- who would ever have thought that I would think pee all over the floor would be funny much less cute but there it is.

So the other day jane was lying down on my legs (face up) while I sat on the couch. She was content for about 4 seconds but of course started wiggling around. She arched her back and started to slide her way down towards the ground head first. I was holding onto her legs and decided to inch her down foiguring I would support her weight and then flip her over once her head was on the ground. But jane put her hands down first and started supporting her own weight. So I did a little experiment putting more and more of her weight on her arms until there was no more weight to give. I was just balancing her -- the kid was doing a handstand.

Yesterday we were at playgroup and a little 2 year old girl walks up to take janes toy away and slaps her right on the top of the head. I of course was ready to rescue my 'darling fragile child' but Jane didn't seem to notice at all. She just went right on playing. Didn't phase her a bit. Unfortunately we are starting to get some toy jealousy going on here. I watch an 18 month old every once in a while and Jane's started wanting all the toys she's playing with and yelling at her (she had a tug of war over a wipe box) Alas.

Jane likes food... well my food mostly. Every bowl of cereal I eat these days is a bowl o cereal eaten on the move. Otherwise it would at best be flavored by baby hand and at worst be flavoring the floor. So anyway... Dinnertime monday - I had eaten most of an apple and decided to give it to jane who was grabbing and staring at it -- just a little more than the core left -- she started to chew -- 20 minutes later there was nothing left...no apple, no core, no seeds and I can only hope there was not stem to start with but I'm not sure about that either.

We have a pool pass (lifesaver). I took jane down a tube waterslide-- the guard told me she was probably a bit too small but bah she loved it. There's a lazy river (of which I am a big fan) Jane stands on my stomach (with support) as I lay on the tube and float lazily, as it were, around. There is one part where 6 fountains of water spray into the river about 2 1/2 feet above the water. So on we float with Jane standing on my belly (she happens to be, coincidentally, about 2 1/2 feet tall) well as I'm sure you guessed we enter this area and immediately 6 fountains are spraying jane right in the face. She, characteristically, didn't care a bit. She just stared forward with a stern look on her face tolerating all these irritations her mother puts her through.

We're having a great time! Adventures all around.
