Jersi loves agua!

This video is a little long, but she was having so much fun with her water. She also showed off her latest abilities to blow kisses, wave goodbye and even manage a vocal "bye-bye" at the end. Jersi was trying to splash Britta, but Jersi gets it herself in the end. When she starts laughing, it's contagious and you can't help but laugh along with her before its said and done.

Dancin' & Walkin'

She's our mini Stevie Wonder.


This news is about a week old, but our baby is walking! So fun!

BFF

Sam and Jersi have been friends since day one (at least Jersi's day one). They have done lots of things together this past year and have become great friends! At least Kristin and I think so. Too bad that we're all moving away in two months :( There was a possibility that Sam and his family would be moving to NC just like us, but that didn't work out. I think Jersi was pretty bummed about it. I guess they will just have to continue on with a long-distance relationship. Here are some sweet memories of their year long courtship:


Sam holding Jersi at one of her first Sundays at church.

Playing in the exersaucer at Sam's house. Sam was showing Jersi all the cool things the exersaucer can do.

Playing in the nursing room in BabyGap at the mall.

Going in for the steal!

Hanging out in a store at the mall. This is right before Jersi fell off the chair! She wasn't smiling then.

Sam teaching Jersi all about the big highchair. I think this is where she learned to climb under things and to duck her head.

The weather has been unusually warm here so Kristin and I have been able to get outside some with the kids. This was Jersi's first wagon ride and she loved it. Sam made sure that he had his fishing pole with him so he could 'catch some fish'.

Jase and I dropped Jersi off at Sam's house one afternoon so we could take advantage of the 30% off sales. They had fun playing and eating snacks together.

We'll miss you guys!

Visit home to NC

We took our final "visit" to NC before we move back this Summer. Jersi and I spent the first week with my family in Chapel Hill before Jase joined us. He had meetings for the business, but we found some down time to enjoy both his and my family. The weather and company made it hard to leave when the time was up. We look forward to moving home and enjoying it all regularly. Just a few more months...


Joby, Jerni, and Jersi in their Sunday Best. Jerni even has her purse. How cute!

Jersi discovered two new things while on vacation. She now loves climbing over, around, and especially under pieces of furniture no matter how cumbersome the challenge may be. She even knows to duck her head to avoid the all-too-common bumps. She also discovered the water tower with handles just within her reach. It didn't take long for her to realize that the red didn't work, but the blue one flowed every time. She'd let some out and then splash in the bin below. That cycle repeated as often as she could excape our watch: Pour, splash, repeat.


Busted, "wet" handed!


Jersi loved walking along with the support of the banister posts-her favorite place in the house. It wasn't uncommon to find her yelling to anyone and everyone down below. She loved the new place with so much to explore.

Here is the evidence of a "free makeover" from MaryKay. They lay it on pretty thick (in more ways than one) for you to buy buy buy. However, Jenn and I were strong and resisted the temptation. Don't we look nice!
