Happy Birthday Miss Jade E.!









Pictures from her last day a zero-year old girl. Now she's one. The way things seem to go, I'm sure next week she'll be 20. She wasn't feeling well today, not that you can tell from these pics. I hope she's feeling better for her birthday, but if 20 minutes ago is any sign she won't be in top form. Losing the contents of ones tummy is not the way for a child to spend their birthday.

Jade is growing up so quickly. Took her first step and a half unassisted. Obviously knows how to pose for a camera. Knows how to let people know what she wants without being rude or noisy, and won't let other people take away what she believes to be hers. Has a number of words, between eight and ten I think (not that everyone can understand them, but I can - ball, book, mom, dad, that, duck, her version of button for her belly button, a word of her own for Quentin, and...) She dances to music she likes and can keep the beat to a song. She enjoys books. Jade LOVES splashing her hands in the water. She likes going swimming, to gymnastics and music class, plus daycare where she gets to play with other children and gets all the attention. She can blow kisses, can whistle a little bit, and sings while she walks (holding hands). Her favourite thing to do is to climb, it doesn't matter if it's stairs, a chair, the couch, or a stool to get to the bathroom sink. And if she isn't allowed on the one set of stairs, she'll just move to the other ones.

Happy Birthday Jade. May you continue your life with the same amount of smiles, intelligence, love and charm that your days are filled with now.

lol, Cara, I just realized that if you were on this side of the world, our daughters could share a birthday (and they probably shared a due date because she was overdue too). Shows you where my head's been. Jade says thank you for the birthday wishes.
