Jadyn is stringing words together in new and exciting ways each day. Last week, when she was counting, she invented her own number: "...sixteen...seventeen...eighteen...nineteen...tenteen..." She is a quick study of small vs. big, light vs. dark, dirty vs. clean, etc. She repeatedly reminds us that penguins, flamingos, hippos, giraffes, and peacocks live at the zoo (she remember all of these from a recent visit). She is very interested in using the salt shaker and pepper grinder (even on an empty plate -- she's still not making the connection that they flavor food). She is also singing a number of different songs, without prompting, and has even helped to create an original verse of "Wheels on the Bus": "Jadyn on the bus goes toot, toot, toot; toot, toot, toot; toot, toot, toot...." Jadyn has a huge fascination with the Metro buses we see around while commuting. Mom is teaching her to say "articulated bus" for those double-long buses with the accordion-like joint. She says it like "ta-tick-oo-late-uh" -- good stuff! She has also learned "see you later, alligator," probably from her classmates, and it sounds, well, sort of like that, but not really. It *is* super-cute, we assure you.
Here are a few recent photos.

Jadyn's idea of playing with her toys is spreading them everywhere and then jumping on the couch
Another 'puzzle night' gathering at one of Jenny's colleague's homes: Jadyn played in the cats' tunnel toy
Wearing her bike helmet, some bloomers that match one of her dresses, and a new cozy sweater, at the kitchen counter while Mommy prepares dinner
Enjoying the activities at the Kids Fair, including a live Caspar Babypants concert!
Maybe those 2-yr molars *are* about to break through.... Next post should have some birthday pictures -- check back soon! ;-)
