apple picking

Wrote this post about a month ago:

Last week I set Jane down with some toys on the other side of the room while I finished buying a tp holder on amazon.  Yes, McKay flushed our previous holder down the toilet.  A tiny hand on my leg and a huge grin gave me a reality check.  Crawling?!  It seemed it had only been a few weeks since she started sitting solidly.  It has been chaos since then.  My little munchkins like to tag team.  Soon after, I found my diaper bag open.  Jane tearing every wipe out of the container, while Mckay got to the lipstick.  McKay likes to smother her with love and Jane likes to scream.   However every once in a while they play beautifully together and I love spying on them.  McKay has turned bossy: "No Janie, don't eat that!" This has actually been a blessing on a few occasions, like when he caught her sticking a lego in her mouth yesterday at my parents house.

In the morning, McKay loves to run downstairs first thing and wake Jane up.  "Hi Janie!! How's it going Janie? Wanna get out and play Janie?" They really are buds.  She loves him and smiles so big at him, even though he likes to invade her bubble.  I have a feeling my cuddly toddler boy and not-so-cuddly baby girl may always have conflict.  

Jane has a developed a few nicknames.  We have called her "Janie girl" since birth. My mom started calling her "bird."  We also call her Janers.

We love this happy little 8 month old.

Last month we went apple picking.  These little buds loved eating these apples right off the tree.
