Learning more every day!

Jailyn is learning more all the time! She is so fast at cruising and crawling that we decided she needed a new playhouse to help her strengthen her muscles by standing and walking around in it. At first she wasn't too sure of it - but when the big kids came home from school and played in it she realized this is pretty cool. She has also enjoyed eating her snacks in it. This drives the dog nuts because he can't reach the food through the windows. :) She loves to tease mom at the stairs. She actually made it all the way up to the game room one time - (I was watching at a safe distance) Cosmo came running to me almost tattling that she was upstairs. Pretty funny!
Jailyn loved decorating Easter eggs. She wasn't excited about sitting in her high chair and not being fed - but once she saw what we were doing she was more then eager to jump in and join us! She did a great job!
Sunday morning she woke up with a nasty cold. This didn't stop her from looking for her Easter eggs that the Bunny had hidden! Each of the big kids took a turn helping her find her eggs. It was great!!!
Kenzie and Jailyn wore their China girl dresses to church. They looked just beautiful! I posted some pictures of the kids here but our home is getting so small that it is hard to get a good posed photo. - too many shadows in this spot! Maybe the weather will be nice this weekend so we can take some photos outside.
Jailyn is trying to use her words more and more. Her first official word is "Ella" this is what she is calling an elephant! This morning she was saying "mama"- but refuses to say it this afternoon. She greets people with a "ai" for "hi" and "uh" for "up". She also makes the same sounds for "all done" as she does the sign for it. She also tries to tell the dog (cosmo) "out". I was scolding Conner yesterday and she was sitting nearby - she looked at Conner with a serious face, pointed her finger at him and starting yelling at him. It was pretty funny!
At Jailyn's last appointment she weighed in at 18lbs 9oz. She has jained two pounds since we have been home.
Growing like a weed!!!

Jailyn is truly a blessing to our family!
