Our little Diva

Sunday was such a beautiful day here, so we took Jacinda to the park. I put my sunglasses on her just to see what she would do and she loved them. She is very hip to be wearing huge sunglasses! She wore them all the way to the park, but then I took them off so she could swing.








She liked walking in the sand, but she definitely did not like feeling the sand when she caught herself! Can you see her tiny little handprints in the sand? At least we can guarantee she won't try eating the sand. While we were there a family with two little boys were playing and the littlest one kept eating sand and we heard the mom say, "Why do you have to be that kid?" We thought it was hilarious!!

Jacinda's First Haircut

First of all, I can't even believe that it is January 14, already. It seems like I just updated this. Jacinda refused to leave barretts or pigtails in her hair and so with it always in her eyes, it was definitely time to get her first haircut. I never thought that day would come. I just assumed my baby would be way older before she needed a haircut since I and all my sisters were bald until we were two. So, here are pictures from her first cut.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BABY??? This is a little girl!!!

So, YES, she is sitting on the potty chair. That seems to be the only place we can put her since she has become mobile to where she will sit still. We've actually been putting her on the potty since she was 8 months old to condition her to go right when she gets up in the morning. She does go and knows when she needs to go as sometimes she will have a panicked whine when you take her diaper off and then she'll go as soon as you set her down. So, we're just waiting for her to be able to say, "potty" and we'll start potty training her.

Jacinda is saying more and more words every day. Some of her latest are "meow," "teetee" (kitty), "dedut" (Peanut one of our cats), "see" (for I want to see), "Dijin" (Christian- she loves her cousin Christian) and "Aydee" (Hayley- she also loves her cousin Hayley).

Other updates, Jacinda is actually teething ALL four of her first molars and her bottom two incisors. She hasn't been cranky at all... (I hope you sense my sarcasm). The biggest change right now is her bedtime. She just does not want to go to bed. So, her bedtime for the last week has sadly been closer to 9pm. I am not adjusting well! We have been so spoiled by having a good 3-4 hours in the evening to have for ourselves, but now I am spending a good majority of that fighting to get a very tired girl to bed.
We have pretty much given up on having her wear the oxygen to bed because with her teething she wakes up more often and moves around which just makes the canula come out of her nose and get all twisted and then makes her completely wake up and we get to start over. Or if she does stay asleep she wakes up without it in her nose in the morning anyway or wrapped around her neck. I have spent a good amount of time calling the doctors to try to talk to convince them to just order her off because it can't do any good if she won't leave it in or if the tubing strangles her. They just said to do our best and wait to see the pulmonologist again.... thanks Dr!

Happy New Year!

Just before Christmas Jacinda started taking her first steps by herself. Now she's crawling very little and keeping us as busy as ever! Jacinda has 6 teeth with her first molars on the right side, both top and bottom, breaking through along with one of her bottom lateral incisors. I'm still a little in shock that she's getting molars already.




Jacinda and I were at my parents' house as my dad was just finishing getting all the lights out. The little drummer boys were an addition my dad made when my brother was one and they took a picture like this for a few years in a row to show how much William grew. He turned 14 this year. Soon he'll be hanging the lights for my dad.

Happy New Year!!
Jacinda only made it up until 9pm, so we have yet to get our first 2009 family picture.
This year the Bill Weaver family didn't make it to the annual Weaver family New Years Eve party, so Jeff and I had them all over for dinner and some games. The big draw was Guitar Hero, even Mom played againsts Todd. We never did talk Dad or Kim into playing, though. We had fun playing Skip-Bo and Uno, probably some of the longest games I have ever played.
