Songs and Sounds
Today I put Jaelyn down for her mid-day nap, and she would not nap. She talked and sang her way through the whole time she was supposed tobe sleeping. She is to smart for herself sometimes.
Wow I have not written in quite awhile. No excuses even though there may be an explanation or two but it would take the same time i could type to try to explain. So I will try to write backwards as much as I can remember.
Our little girl is experiencing breakthroughs on a daily basis. That is teeth breaking through her gums. She has approximately eight more teeth coming in at the same time. She has had some discomfort and bleeding but is doing better than what we could asked.
Today was a day that will go down in infamy. There was a battle royal of wills between Jaelyn and her parents. Jaelyn while sitting on the big chair intentionally dropped a paper towel on the floor and Jayne’ put her on the floor told her to pick it up. She went on the floor and picked up everything but the paper towel. We constantly told her to pick up the paper towel and next she stood over it and lookded at it and even bent down but refused to pick it up. After four hours (which included a 2.5 hour nap) while in the arms of dad she finally handed the paper towel to mom. Whew!!
The 13 month old will of a human is strong. This girl is extremely intelligent. I believe she has understood everything we have said to her from the time we bought her home. She has a very sweet disposition but is very settled and determined when she sets her minds for anything she wants.

It is hard to believe that we are one month away from Jaelyn’s first birthday. Today at 11 months she is a remarkable girl. She seems more like a 2 year old than a toddler. Now that she is walking we know the next frontier is talking which she is doing her best to get to ASAP.
Today Jaelyn climbed up the stairs by herself (which is nothing new), and went into her room to play (still nothing new). What made this trip different is that this time she (1) went into her closet (2) grabed her diaper bag and (3) pulled the container with her snack puffs out, (4) opened it and (5) ate as she pleased! By the time I found her the top of the container was by the stairs and the evidence was on the floor. Something remarkable to see.
