September 2007

Jayna turned 1 year old this month! She has grown up so much. She weighs 19 lbs. 9 oz. and is 29.5 inches tall (she had a major growth spurt). She is starting to talk now and it is the cutest thing! She says: "mama", "dada", and "hi", she shakes her head "yes" and "no", points to things, and once in a while if she's in the mood she might do the sign for "more". She loves spending time with Gibb and I, and would rather be in the same room as us, than play with any of her toys. She'll crawl as fast as she can to follow us from room to room. Jayna loves music and dancing, playing outside, looking out the window, reading stories and being chased by Daddy.

Having fun with her birthday present

I'm One!

Now that Jayna's all grown up we decided we needed to put her to work

Edmonton

We went to Edmonton to visit Gibb's family, it was fun to see everyone again. This might be the last time we go visit before we move there. Jayna had fun playing with her cousin Luke, and seeing Great Grandma Gibb again.

Reading stories with Grandma

Great Grandparents

Jayna and I took a road trip down to Barnwell, Alberta to go and visit my Grandma and Grandpa Jensen, Jayna's Great Grandparents. I hadn't seen my grandparents in 4 years. It was so good to see them again! Jayna was pretty shy and we were only there for 2 days, so she just started warming up to them by the time we were leaving. The second night we were there all my Aunts, Uncles and cousins came over for dinner. We have such a great family, I'm excited that once we move back to Edmonton we'll be able to see them more often.

Jayna loved playing in Grandma's basket

Jayna in the old red high chair, my grandparents got this high chair for my mom when she was a baby, and used for it every baby since then. I'm sure my mom probably used it for us too when we stayed at there.

On the way to and from Barnwell we stopped in Calgary to visit my old roomie and one of my best friends Jody. It was so fun to see her again and her 2 kids, Ella and Jack. Jayna had lots of fun playing there in the hottest play room ever! (I'm so sad we didn't take any pictures though!)

1st Birthday Party

We had Jayna's 1st Birthday Party this week-end in Edmonton. She invited: Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Jo, Uncle Dave, Luke, Uncle Brett and Aunt Jenny. We had tacos and homemade salsa and of course birthday cake!

Jayna loved it when everyone was singing Happy Birthday to her!

Jayna's first taste of cake

I'm pretty sure she loved it

I want some more cake!

Jayna's One!

Today is Jayna's 1st Birthday! I can't believe it's actually here and that it came so fast. Our little baby girl is really going to grow up.

• playful
• timid
• observant
• adorable!!
  

Gibb and I got her a few presents for her to open today, but we're waiting to have a party until this week-end with Gibb's family in Edmonton.

Jayna loves this book in the store so we had to get it for her. You get to feel all the animals fur.

Jayna loves her birthday presents!!

We had a fun day with our big girl! Jayna is such a good girl, I can't imagine our lives without her.
