Poor Eric didn't have much time with us last semester. So it was so fun to watch Jane and Daddy get to know each other during the break. And since then, he can hardly get enough of her. So even though he's back to being crazy busy now, he knows how to make her laugh, knows what her cries mean, loves teaching her things like how to open her mouth real wide to eat, to put her legs down when he's changing her diaper, how to shake her head yes and no, how to clap, etc., so he's able to really utilize the small moments they do have together. I love watching all these mini lessons (so does Jane).
So in honor of the daddy and his girl, take a peak at these pictures. I was flipping through Eric's baby book the other day and found this picture:
Spooky, isn't it? The above is Eric at 5+ months. Today I dressed Jane in a red onesie and grey overalls (size 9M) and we tried to get a picture of her sucking her lip (like daddy, like Janey). But she wouldn't cooperate. She wanted to smile instead.
And then frown. She sucks her lip all the time, so I have no idea why she refused to today.
The bigger she grows, the more she is the spittin' image of Eric. So, Nate, Jim, you were right. We should have named her Erica...my sister's family calls her that anyway...
Oh, and interestingly, according to said baby book, Eric weighed 18 lbs at 12 months. Jane is almost 19 now. I'll have to ask my mom to look at my baby book, but I wasn't a chunky baby, so we don't know where she gets that from.
