Ida Jane says hello

Ida Jane has begun using her hands as more than toy magnets recently. She's learned to ask to be picked up, as well as to express her displeasure when mommy and daddy don't realize what she's asking.

And now she's starting to get the gist of this whole "waving" thing that we've been doing for the past few months.



Pretty good, eh?

Ida Jane remains crazy about her animal friends, and her animal friends remain crazy about her, too. Here's a picture of Olivia and her relaxing together on our bed.



Dad just finished a whole month off of work with his little girl and started his new position on the first of the month. While he's excited about his new job, he'll miss all the quality time he had. Mom is next up, as the end of school keeps creeping forward on the calendar.
