He's Here!

So it's time to share the blog! It's okay, though. I really like this little guy- my "baby Jay" and Mommy said that I could still do the story-telling for the blog.

So here's how Jay's first couple days have been. He hung out in the hospital with Mommy and Daddy for a couple days, while I had an extended visit with Papa and Grammy Majerus after a weekend trip to the cabin. They really like him too.

I think he's trying to look like a little tough guy here or he just really needs a nap.

Mommy is really happy Jay is here now instead of having to carry him around in her belly. She said she feels much more comfortable. Daddy is really happy too because now he only has to listen to Mommy complain about being tired, not tired and uncomfortable.

Here is our first family photo. Don't we look . . . tired!

Jay had some nice friends and family come visit him in the hospital. Here he is with Mommy's friend Roz and Aidan. Aidan is a really busy little guy. I think Jay will enjoy trying to keep up with him. Grandma Ryan came to see Jay too.


I think Jay is upset that his big sis isn't in the picture.

but I gave him this nice puppy (named Spunky after me) so that he can always have a reminder of me near him

We've also had some fun visitors since Jay came home. Here I am with one of my favorite uncles- Uncle Tanner.

Everybody in our house is also a little tired this week, but it's worth it- Jay is a wonderful addition to our family!

My New Purple Room

A couple months ago, I moved into "my new purple room" and I sleep in my "big girl bed". I love my new room! Mommy and Daddy love it too! I sleep much better here than I did in the "baby's bed". I love to show off my new room. I'm very proud of it. It's still missing a few finishing touches but it has lots of butterflies and is VERY purple! Aunt Missy even painted the bed and nightstand for me!
I have a little table in my room perfect for tea parties!
So, I invited my friend Cow over for a tea party.
Hmmm, something doesn't look right???
Cow needed more to drink!

What I've Been Up To Now That I'm TWO

Hi! So you've been wondering what I've been up to lately??? Well, mostly I've been patiently awaiting (much more patiently than Mommy) the arrival of my new brother or sister. I've grown pretty accustomed to Mommy's growing belly. The baby will just stay in there forever, won't it? I'm okay with that arrangement. Sharing is still not one of my best skills but on the other hand, I am eager to have someone else to boss around. I am very good at being "the boss". Daddy says I get that from Mommy's side. Mommy agrees.

I've been practicing many of my "big girl" skills, like drinking out of my own cup and dressing myself. It's not uncommon, if you're fortunate to be in the pleasure of my company, to hear me say "I do it myself".

Yes, I am full of all the attitude a 2 year old can muster,

but I am also the sweetest little girl full of love who warms her parents heart every minute of everyday!
