Puzzle Mania!

Jadyn's latest obsession is puzzles. She has a set of 6 9-piece puzzles and a 24-piece puzzle that she assembles regularly and quite quickly now. She can do all 7, one right after the other, in less than a half hour when she is really focused.




She also really likes playing with Mrs. Potato Head.

She is a big fan of the book Clap Your Hands, and a line in the book is "Tell me your name. How old are you?" She answers, "Jadyn....I'm two!" Here she is snacking on some numeral 2 butter cookies from Larry and Kathy. She really liked these!


Since our last post, we have seen the pediatrician for Jadyn's 2-year check-up, and she is in excellent health. We now know that two of her last set of molars have broken through in the last few weeks and that she is 25 pounds (25-50th percentile) and 34 inches tall (50-75th percentile). No wonder that she is no longer amongst the smallest in her class and that she is growing out of her 18-month sized clothes! We were also assured that her penchant for "no", constant quest for independence, and valiant attempts to manipulate us are age-appropriate and normal. So we are settling in with a strong-willed 2-year-old, who is soaking up new words, songs, experiences like a sponge and melting our hearts daily. How frustrated can you remain with a little stinker as cute as this?
