Heading to 3

Closing in on Jadyn's 3rd birthday, here are a few shots of what's been keeping her busy these days.  Puzzles are still a big hit and very engaging.

We had a week of crazy weather (snow, freezing rain, wind) with 3 days of no school.  Jadyn liked being out in the snow until she got too cold, so it took us several ventures out in the weather to get this snow person together.

 
As soon as the temperatures climbed enough to make the roads passable again, Jadyn tagged along on Jenny's hair cut appointment and decided she needed a hair cut of her own.

 

Not at all afraid of the hair dryer!

Here is Jadyn with one of her playdoh pizza creations.  She also likes to come up with interesting ways to lounge around the living room.

 She plays well with new friends, here, at a restaurant.  Sophie is 5, and the two of them drew for the better part of an hour!

We've been blessed with some lovely, sunny days in early February, and so we made another trip to the zoo with friends.  We didn't see very many animals on this trip -- the play areas were too much fun.

 
And finally, a baby update.  Jenny is about 31 weeks along now, and everything is "tracking normally" for babyj#2 at this time.  Jadyn has been attending some of the OB appointments, and she has gotten very good at finding her brother's heartbeat with the help of some of the doctor's instruments.  She gives Jenny's bump a hug and a kiss most nights these days.  Super sweet!
