Jane's Birthday Part II

...better late than never?

birthday morning wearing her "walking harness" mommy made

strangely, we don't have a shot of her traumatized-by-the-cake face...just the what is it? look

In her defense the cake really didn't taste very good (not that she even tried it). We threw it away after Eric tried to get a few bites down...The frosting was good, though.

Now, PRESENTS! and COUSINS! That's what Jane liked!

I was amazed by how she opened her own presents, so careful and intrigued, she even started looking for the tape to pull off by the end.

We celebrated Jane's birthday with her cousins the morning after they flew home (they got in around 2:00 am and this photo is around 9:30 am or so, I think they look pretty great considering)
Jane also got a used Little Tikes bike that was in OK shape but dirty. Amazing what soaking it in the bathtub for a few days did ;-) So far, she just pushes herself backwards on it, but she does like to be pushed and climb on it.


and last but not least a very dim video of us singing happy birthday...(we also have an 8 minute video of Jane's actual birthday party on her birthday that we can't get off of the camera (too large?) which meant we got NO pictures of Jane's actual birthday, just a long, useless video (hence my comment at the end of this one) that I can't upload (any ideas anyone?). I guess that's one of the risks when you give up control of the camera...)
