Everyday Jada

I don't have much to blog about, just random pics of the J-Dawg.

Mother's Day Treat :) My favorite!! Snickers apple!

out for just another BBQ :)

gathering the balls at target...please and thank you she says

she wanted her winter boots on and to try putting on Dad's tie

That's her resting in her infant bath insert.  She loves playing with this thing.

and now hiding under the blanket on the infant bath insert

watching Dad flossing his teeth so often had inspired her to try it out herself

wagon ride time, but now she must stand and steer...we went frog hunting that day

not sure? Dad must have been talking too much :)

First day of nursery pose
First week...went well, put her on a rocking horse and snuck out the door
2nd week...screamed hysterically and wouldn't let go, she joined me in primary instead
3rd week..knew where we were headed the moment we entered the hall but stayed and survived! (after screaming and whaling of course)

chatting on the remote control "phone"

being a duck

I knew my parents love me!

This post will have a little of this and that, but most importantly the wonderful company of my Rents!  I LOVE that they came to spend time with us!  We didn't do much sight seeing this time.  It was nice just to be and to enjoy their company.  They were sooooo helpful.  Cleaning constantly, cooking, playing with Jada...Isn't family great! :)  It was such a relaxing time and we miss them so much.  Jada adores Grandma & Grandpa.

dane did her hair...haha, looks like a sweatband

havin' some spaghetti...bath time was a little messy

what is this? haha, funny.

Grandma brought Jada some Easter gifts.  Jada LOVES chocolates!

it got a little cold..brrr

let the Easter egg hunt begin!

Dane & I had the Rents judge our eggs and vote for the best ones...ended in a tie, since  Dad voted for the poop looking one thinking it was Dane's, but it was Jada's...so he gave a point to Dane since he really was going to vote for a different one.

She prefers to push the wagon rather than ride

At the Public Museum in Milwaukee

Butterfly Garden in the museum

 Our tulips that we planted in October finally came up!  The crocuses didn't really do that well, but their leaves are still pretty.  Dad wasn't satisfied (he never will be, he is a flower hoarder ;) and planted me some pansies to fill out the empty spaces.  I love them!! I have to stare and smell my flowers every time I walk by.  Jada too, she adores flowers.  I get many compliments as well.  Thanks again DAD! and Birgitta since she helped plant them back in the fall!

 We spend our warm days outside our door, playing in the sand and swinging away.

Heat Wave!

I have been meaning to post this for awhile, but uh, we had a beautifully SHORT Winter this year and had amazing weather starting mid-March (70-80 degrees).  It was amazing.  It since has died down and is chilly again, but it was great while it lasted!  
Jada had to spend every morning for hours outside on our balcony enjoying the air, birds, and sun.  We also decided to go to Port Washington beach...I LOVE IT!  Such a nice day, sand, sun, blue water!  Ahhh, who says you need to live by the ocean, I did!  But now I am perfectly sold and convinced that Lake Michigan is in fact its own ocean ;)

her zoo map

a little of pb&j and sand for lunch..this is the cleaned up version

Boy did she have a hay day with the sand & water!

Matthew, Mom, Birg, Dad..that's the lighthouse we walked out to.

They had these stairs leading down to the beach (which I later found out you can park at the bottom) that I had to climb up holding Jada, chair and big bag full of stuff (she refused to walk on her own... The one time she doesn't like to climb stairs, honestly child).  Being pregnant and sick for months now I hadn't exercised since this moment.  My calves were sore for a week!  Not only sore but so stiff I walked like a mummy for days!  Oh my word, now that was a workout.  Oh and let me add...once we got to the top, Jada jumped out of my arms to go downstairs again...yeah right!!!  Dane didn't believe me when I said stairs...he imagined one flight...oh sure, give me a little more credit than that!

accidental video, i guess.  Here is Jada on the phone for literally 1 second of video.  If she calls you, this is what it usually looks like or she has you held in front of her since you are most likely on speaker.  She likes to roam and chat.
