Jayda's new do!
Posing for a picture.
For whatever reason I feel like Jayda has grown up overnight! I felt like this back when she was 6 months old and there were lots of changes going on with her, and I feel the same way now that she's 1 1/2. It's not a bad thing, it just hit me hard recently that she is really growing up to be a big girl! She is now sleeping in her OWN room! Hallelujah! Most nights she is even sleeping through the night! It is so nice to have her in her own room now! The next step will be moving her out of her pack n play to her toddler bed, but I'm sure it will happen when she's ready. She is pretty much off of bottles (besides the one I give her at night because I'm paranoid she's not getting enough calcium), but that will probably not last very long. She only has her paci when she's sleeping or in the car and she even puts it down on her pillow when she wakes up. She's wearing a pony tail! She's going potty on the toilet! She likes to pick out what shoes she's going to wear! It's all so crazy, but also so nice for mama to have some more freedom!
We have been pretty busy lately doing all kinds of fun stuff with Jayda! To start the week off we had playgroup on tuesday morning. We recently joined a playgroup with some ladies and their kids from church and Jayda loves getting to play with everybody. And, it's really nice for me to talk to other moms, get advice, share stories about our kiddos and just be ourselves. We are loving it! We are alternating playgroup between our houses and fun places around here like Chick-Fil-A, parks, playgrounds, etc. On Thursday we went to toddler time at the library and that was a ton of fun. All the moms bring their little toddlers and the librarians read books to them, sing songs, do puppet shows and even have a craft for the kids to do at the end. Jayda and Riley had a lot of fun singing, playing, and making their polar bears. Then on friday we went to a new place called Stomping Grounds. It is an indoor playground for kids and they have a toddler area and a big kids area. They also have a coffee shop and cafe for the adults to get food and drinks and chat with their friends. Jayda was in little kid heaven at this place! She LOVED it sooo much and did not stop playing for 3 straight hours, besides to get a small snack and drink for about 10 minutes. It only costs $5 to get in and you can stay all day. Adults can also get in the play area and climb around, so of course I did and Jayda loved me chasing her all over the place. She kept wanting me to take her down the tunnel slide over and over! I don't know if I've ever seen her have SO much fun! Then on saturday the 3 of us all went down to memorial park to go running and take Jayda to the park to play. We let her play first because she was so excited to get to the park and then we went to run. It was such a beautiful sunny, cool day, couldn't of been more perfect! I got some cute pictures of her at the park. On saturday afternoon Oma came for a visit and Jayda loved getting to play with her. She stayed the night and watched Jayda while we went to church on sunday(thanks Oma!).
Going down her favorite slide at the park for the 50th time!
She loves to go down slides!
And yet another slide!
Playing at the park, check out that face!
Sunday afternoon we headed to a super bowl party at Jacob's brother Klint's house. We had a lot of fun watching the game, eating a ton of food, and Jayda had a blast running around with all the little kiddies there. As soon as we put her in her car seat to go home she passed out! Whew, last week was sure busy, but so much fun! Hopefully we get to do some more fun stuff this week!

What a big girl! Her hair looks so cute!! I bet you are thrilled that she is sleeping in her room. You are a great mom, letting her do things in her own time!
Her hair is so cute! Like Pebbles. I love her face on the horse. Those faces are always priceless!
