Easter, etc.

It's been awhile since we posted. Just after our last post, family came to town, and Jadyn chose that week to skip a few naps and start night-waking again. Unfortunately for the whole household, sleep disruption has been a fixture for weeks, and we have all had a very sluggish spring -- fitting, though, as Seattle had the coldest April in recorded weather history, and it took until May 20th to hit 70 degrees for the first time in 2011. Because of the cooler weather, the scarcity of sleep, and overall busy schedules in our house, we haven't taken as many pictures as we usually do. But here are a few of shots from the past 6 weeks or so.

Potty training, to put it plainly, is not going anywhere. Jadyn is completely capable physically of jumping on this bandwagon, but has little internal motivation to doing so. She occasionally chooses to wear panties over her diapers. Less frequently, but still more often than she uses the potty, she wears her panties in other interesting ways. We believe she will let us know when she is ready to rid herself of diapers, so for now, we are all enjoying the panties as accessories.


Jadyn so enjoys being outside! She loves to play at parks, chase after the neighbor Cleo in our yards, walk around the neighborhood, ride in the stroller while Mommy jogs, and try any bike or scooter she can get her hands on. We will be getting her a tricycle very soon. Here she is enjoying "outside."





We did have an Easter egg hunt -- indoors, due to the weather -- that Jadyn enjoyed immensely. Next year we'll hope for better weather, so we can try it outside.





Our Saturday AMs at Lighthouse Roasters are routine, and Jadyn looks forward to the friends she sees there and her weekly scone. (She fancies the frosted ones -- blame that on Mommy, who shares the preference.)

Stay tuned for more adventures in the world according to Jadyn!
