Jaynann and her Daddy

My Diddiiii

One day after putting Jaynann to bed, Ed mentioned to me that he didn't want Jaynann to grow up. His mom also ask often "when're you gonna stop calling her Baby Jaynann?" To Ed, I know Jaynann is everything. Even though back then when there were just us two, Ed didn't show much intertest in babies. Now Ed is Jaynann's "favorite biggest toy." She adores him and likes to be around him. Every night, Ed put her to bed. He always says to her, "good night, daddy loves you." Every morning, Jaynann cries for him to pick her up. I love seeing their relationships grow. I believe Jaynann is the luckiest baby in the world.




First few days at home, Ed and Jaynann too many naps together often. It was nice to see Ed became a dad.


Ed had proven me that he could give our newborn a bath. Go Ed!


Angela's wedding, both of them were tried.


4th of July night


A few days before moving out from the Tree. We sat outside after Ed got home from work. Jaynann and Ed were enjoying the nice weather. Jesse took this picture.


One day when Ed arrived home from work. Jaynann was so loving and wanted to be in his arms. Ed was in heaven.


The night before Christmas, we decorated a ginger bread house. Ed fed a bunch of gummy to Jaynann to keep her away from troubles.


You know what they say about being daddy's little girl.

Where we are......


I'm 15 months.

Saying hi to Dusty, the dog next door.



Jaynann is now almost 15 months old. She is still lively like always. Her little brother in my tummy is now almost 20 weeks. He is also happy and active. Can I say that I LOVE having a tummy and really don't mind it at all. I can do this again and again. As for Ed, he is almost done with his MBA. He has about 4 more months to go. When Ammon, the littest one is here, Ed will be done finally.





Jaynann...
She now has about 15 teeth. Luckily she doesn't bite. She still walks funny and has begun run. As far as getting in trouble, she likes to get into everything. She sometimes hides herself in the room, closes the door, then she cries for help. She also likes to drag the dirty laundry around--I guess because the clothes are colorful. One thing different about her, she has learned to say words like grandpa (papa), Tippy, daddy, and some Thai words. Reading is her hobby, she does it about 2 to 3 times a day and the same books over and over again. I can read to her without looking at the books. I am getting better at it too. She also likes watching morning cartoons. We dance and sing in front of the TV. Jaynann loves to learn. In nursery where we serve, Jaynann is the littlest. She blends in no problem however. Playing, singing, eatting, and reading in nursery are her favorite things to do. She has her favorite friends, boys of course. She even leaned toward on of them to try to kiss him 3 times. He didn't realized it until the last attempt and he rejected! How cruel! Don't know what inspired her to want to kiss him. Maybe she felt like he was like her teddy bear like one at home. I wish I had a camera to capture the moment. I was in charge of singing time last Sunday. My girl sat and stared at mommy (Tippy). She clapped and attempted to sing songs. My heart was full with joy. I guess I never had that experience with my mom. I was a shy fat kid in school who boys just wouldn't stop picking on. I dress Jaynann every morning and love it! I put her in skirts and dresses. It is my favorite time of the day. My dad didn't allow me to wear skirts nor shorts. I remembered once he ripped my only dress in pieces because I wouldn't take it off. I wore it over and over again. Yea, that scares me. Don't get me wrong, I love my dad very much. Just when me and my sister were little, we didn't get to be kids. Too busy in school and tried too hard to be smart. Once it was time for me to be a mom. I am doing almost everything opposite then my parents offered me. I think having freedom to choose is great. She is a human being and God made her a human for a reason. I do restrict and limit some options since she is still little. As far as what to eat or play, go for the goal baby. Anyway, I enjoy being a mom very much and I cannot wait to have a newborn in my arms again. He will be quite a joy to our lives. Ed cannot wait to buy new toys like legos and I cannot wait to say I have two kids, hooray!


Jaynann likes to explore.


Mom and baby #2
