Fun filled 2010

Ok, so I am still a slacker. I have been updating Facebook over the blog but need to do both, so here is my attempt to catch up. First off, we went to Disney in January so Daryl could run the Disney Marathon. He did a great job and finished in just over 4 hours. Jamie LOVED the characters!!! She thought they were so neat and loved on all of them. Jamie also had her first haircut while we were there. Some pictures of Jamie being her happy little self. She LOVES to dance... Show of bed-head.... Play indoors... And outside.... ESPECIALLY in the snow. She asks to "build a no-man" a lot. Here she is playing with her neighborhood buddy, Nathan. He is 9 months younger and sweet as can be. I had to go to Boston for a business trip. Never been before, so that was pretty cool. Went to see Menopause the Musical with my friend Jill and our moms. Our mom's are best buds, too. Jamie is learning so fast. She is just getting to be such a big girl.

• She is becoming a climber now - I'm thankful that was a skill she waited to learn.
• She can open ALL the door knobs, but didn't try to leave... until today... we will be buying knob covers tomorrow.
• She can read a few words (the ones that are repeated over and over in her books)
• She is getting much better at counting
• She is doing GREAT with coloring. She works so hard to stay in the lines and becomes so serious when she is coloring - totally ignores us.
• She has been in her big girl bed since January and has only been back to our bed twice - once when we had a guest and needed her bed, and once for some reason that I can't remember - but YAY - she is sleeping thru the night and out of our bed (although I must admit we miss her sometimes.) :-)
• She has been sleeping without her paci for the past week. I just didn't give it to her one night and she hasn't asked for it since. Go figure she is being so easy with this whole sleep thing!
• She is still progressing with the potty training. We need to make her stay in big girl undies more. When we put her in pull-ups, she doesn't always tell us when she needs to go. But #2 - she ALWAYS tells us - Hallelujah for that.
• She is in the phase now where I can kiss a boo boo and it is instantly better - I like that. :-)
• She loves to make up songs and dance. She thinks it is fun to exercise with us and she is so cute trying to do the work out moves with us.
• She is just a complete joy - when she isn't having a melt down - which luckily are few and mostly happen because she has skipped a nap that day - which she skips about every few days now.

I will try to do better about posting!!!
