Dear Jaye, You are currently sitting in your bedroom floor, trying to work the zipper on your sleep sack. I just got you up from your nap. I can hear you breathing, slow and heavy in extreme concentration. You've been there for about ten minutes now. You are determined, but not frustrated. You seek out challenges. You love balls right now, and "bbbbuh" is the newest addition to your vocabulary. You especially love the NFL sized football, for two reasons. First, it's Daddy's ball. Second, it's … [Read more...]

Picture overload coming up because you were SO adorable during your ten month photoshoot. I'd tried earlier in the day and hadn't gotten any good pictures, but after a bottle and a nap, you were ready to turn on the charm. In some ways, Jaye, this month doesn't seem like such a huge leap from the last month. But then, in other ways, you are seeming bigger and bigger and older and older, and I can't believe you'll be ONE YEAR OLD before the summer is over!
