It seems like a lot has been going on, which leaves me with lots to write about, but not a lot of time to write. Jayda turned six months aug. 22nd. Of course we had to celebrate her half a year with half a cake. To bad she didn't get to try any of it. Jason was deployed for Abby's 6 month and wasn't there for the party so I don't think he was prepared for such a hoopla, but he did say it was worth the singing and the pictures and the video and the party dress because I actually baked a cake, and I never bake.

Jayda is growing up so much. She is such a funny baby. I don't even know how to explain in words to tell you guys, she's just goofy. It's not even what she does, it's just the presence that she has. She's always smiling her goofy smile or has some other funny expression. She's so easy going. Even when Abby is rolling her across the floor, smiles and looks at me like "here we go again". The other day I walked back into the room to Abby pulling her across the floor by her legs while she slid on her belly. I was just about to holler at Abby when I realized Jayda was laughing and loving it. She loves, loves, loves her big sister. Nobody can make Jayda laugh like Abby can. She's always watching her in amazement. Abby is a crazy, wild girl sometimes and Jade loves the entertainment. She's not officially crawling yet, but she gets everywhere with her military crawl. She's getting pretty efficient with it and seems to have given up on crawling since she's getting where she needs to go.

Gigi, David and there 17 month boy, Steven, came out for Labor day weekend (from Vegas). We had a lot of fun all weekend with the zoo, the beach, and Super Mario 3 on the old school nintendo. Abby loved Steven. She was following him around the last day demanding "Kiss me! Kiss me!" The night that they left, I asked her if she had fun with Steven and she said "yeah, I gave him kisses." I told her "You gave him lots of kisses" and she replied "He's just so cute in his blue shirt." Jason's ready to lock her up until she's 30.

I know there's a lot more that I've been thinking about writing about, but I'm done for now. Here's some pictures of the little ones....



Out of all the animals at the zoo, both of them were most fascinated with the ducks.









Jayda started solids a couple weeks ago, I forgot just how messy they are in the begining.

She's trying to sneak a bite.


Wishing she could have a taste.

Those are such cute stories about your little Jade. I hope I get an easy going, goofy daughter one of these days. Thats so cool you guys celebrate half birthdays with half a cake. I'll have to try that with the next one. I don't think Sam will be able to remember not having one anyway.
