12 month Well Baby check up.

Now that Janey is a whopping 1 year old, it was that time again to take her to the Docs... She used to not mind the Doctor's office, but ever since her MRI (more on that to come) she HATES being weighed, measured, poked etc.

Since Janers has been sick with a sinus infection we decided it would be best to hold off a week on her immunizations, so this time she just visited with Dr. Chang to make sure she was on track developmentally.

Here are her stats:

18 pounds= 15 percentile
29 inches= 50 percentile
I can't remember her head measurements, but I do remember she was in the 90 percentile, because she is a baby genius with a big brain.

Beachin it up with dad.

After the Birthday Party Brandon had this great idea of going to the beach to take a nap, how could we nap when Jane was being this cute??

Janey's love for water just seems to grow and grow... this last time we went with Calvin and Allyson she would scream and cry anytime we were not near water. what a fish...

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Janers!!!

I know Brandon already posted some birthday photos, but he just did not post enough!!

I would say Janey, Alexander and Calvin's combined birthday bash was a success!! minimal crying, and maybe even a few smiles... They didn't destroy their cakes as we had hoped, but there is always next year.

A few highlights were Margarita's awesome giant cupcakes she decorated for each baby, and Allyson's chicken salad sandwiches... yum.

Allyson also made the pinatas.. (okay who am I kidding, Allyson pretty much did everything!!) after the pinatas we took the babies outside to eat their cakes, and then threw them all in the kiddie pool!! (Thanks Dani and Joe!)

Thanks to all who came for partying with us!!! We had a blast.

 

 

 

 

More Birthday Bash....

 

 

 

 

switched before birth...

So Sunday after church I started to feel kinda yucky in my tummy, and it wasn't but a few hours later that I started to get the pukies... This proceeded all night long, I tried to just drink little sips of water and couldn't even keep that down (stay with me the story gets better) So I woke up Monday morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck, and Janey was still coughing, so I decided that we should both go see the Doc. As soon as I arrived at the doctor's office the took my by wheelchair to hospital for IV fluid treatments, and also to get some anti-nausea medicine pumped into me (ahhh zofran we meet again). Since they were not sure what was causing my to feel like death they decided to run some tests, it wasn't but a few minute later that the Doc came in to let me know that he knew why I was feeling sick... I was PREGNANT!!! He then told me that he was going to send my husband in so I could tell him, I almost wanted to ask him to stay in case my husband hit the floor due to the news. I told Brandon he actually was pretty excited, and told me he knew it was a boy. Then the Nurse came in and told me that I needed to give them a pee sample ( I don't like the word urine) When I asked why she said to see if I was Pregnant etc... At that point I was very confuses, until I heard the poor sick girl in the bed next to me talk about how she just found out she was pregnant and had been sick ever since. Something was fishy, the Doctor came in and started asking us if this would be our second child blah blah blah, and then I asked him are you sure I am pregnant, or could the test results been mixed up.... needless to say he was very embarrassed and checked the paperwork, and sure enough I was not pregnant, and the color started to come back into Brandon's cheeks.... The doc then said that there had been a mix up of tests in the lab and wanted to draw ANOTHER blood sample just in case, at this point I remember saying vocally as the nurse came in with the bucket of needles... " ahhh come on guys..." but they did it anyways, and sure enough nothing in my tummy....
So all in all I would say we had a pretty eventful day, no baby, just a virus...

I have heard of babies being switched after birth, but this one is new to me....

Birthday Party

Every party has a theme, and this one was obviously a hawaii/beach theme.

Thanks to Alicia we have that "as seen of TV" giant cupcake maker. There were 6 February babies from our ward that year and there was a giant cup cake representing each one. Our dear Ruskie friend Margarita put Cake Boss to shame by decorating them. If you know Jane at all you will have no problem identifying her cake. I would have put a few pictures of them eating their cakes but maybe it was the performance anxiety but they appeared to have no idea what to do with this culinary masterpieces so the resulting pictures were either boring pictures of kids not knowing if they were supposed to eat it or step in it (that's what Jane ultimately decided she was supposed to do) or evidence CPS would use to snatch out babies away from us.

Although there were 6 February babies the party really was for these three (Jane, Alexander, and Calvin) who were all born within the same week. Jane is wearing her homemade tutu her mom made for this special event. They are also sporting their number of revolutions around the sun on the front of their 'one'sies.

Jane discovered she only likes cake if there is icecream in the middle. Who knew?

Janey Walker Ranger

for Jane's b-day she got this push toy which like old people provides her with improved mobility and consequently she has transformed into an extrovert over night

Jane loves to ride one handed (I know, quite the daredevil) and wave at every person or pet that is passing by. She is huge among the Japanese and senior missionary demographics in which they actually stop to wave back, which gets Jane jacked up in a big way.

She has also becomes very vocal, talking to everyone and singing along with her toy's on board entertainment system, (although nobody can understand what she is saying) while taking her little stroll through the town.
