Skye has started riding her bike and scooter more!! She loves to play "tea party" and is developing quite the imagination. She calls the snack "fruit by the foot", "fruit by the toe". She loves going to her dance class and wearing her tap shoes.

Valentines Day Pictures: I sure love these two! Skye had a valentine party at preschool where she gave sticky hands valentines to her friends.

Valentine from Skye to mom!!

We had some friends from Seattle and Oregon fly out for a long weekend. We showed them our local trails and had fun hanging out and catching up. Skye had lots of fun playing with Sarah and Chris's son.

It has been a little cooler and much more rainy than usual. Skye didn't care and wanted to go scootering in the rain.

We celebrated Dave's 36th birthday!

13 Months

Alisha says: Jade has grown up so much this past month. She is officially a walker now! Although she still prefers the safety of holding on to a finger or some furniture she has walked 10+ steps all by herself. She fully understands the meaning of and can sign "more" (although it just looks like she is clapping, it is her version of more). She makes lots and lots of noises and some of them even sound like words. I'm sure we have heard her say "ball", "ma", "jade". She has an opinion and lets you know what she wants and will throw a fit when I take something away from her that she wants. She watches Skye and thinks she is just as big. She will occasionally give kisses which as so adorable, she basically will plant her wide open mouth on yours. She will give stuffed animals big hugs and will cover her own eyes and play peak-a-boo. She still wakes up almost every morning at 5:30 am. I know she knows when she is being mischievous because she will look at me with her super cute smile and even though I tell her no, she will continue to do whatever she is attempting weather it be climbing on something or getting into the cupboards.

My girls!

Alisha says: We also had some pictures taken of the girls together that make my heart melt. We did one that was the same pose from when Jade was a newborn that turned out really well. I am going to have to keep having this picture recreated each year.

Cake Smash

Alisha says: I loved Jade's newborn photos so much that I took her back to the same photographer for some one year pictures. Once again they are super cute!!
