Growing Like A Weed!
I'm walking pretty good, now, and, even though I'm not saying many words the grownups can understand, I can understand what they're saying and follow directions they give me. My newest trick is taking my dirty diapers to the trash can. They think it's cute, but I think it stinks!
I'm getting more teeth all the time and I even have a molar. If you're not careful, I'll put some teeth marks in your finger!
I got to spend TWO WHOLE NIGHTS with Granddaddy and Grammy last week, while Daddy and Mommy went to a Bed and Breakfast in the mountains. They got to see where John-Boy and his family really grew up!
My Grandma got me a real cute Redskins cheerleader outfit (see photo below) and I've been practicing my cheers. Unfortunately, Daddy says the team's going to need more than my cheers to have a good season this year!
My Great-Grandma turned 75 YEARS OLD today! We had a party for her at a restaurant yesterday after church and she got balloons and EVERYTHING! I don't think she looks a day over 74!
Thanks for stopping by and I'll chat with you again real soon!
Love,
Jayme Lynn

Goodbye, Summer!
Lots has happened since I last blogged! We've had two big birthday parties!
My Great-Grandma, (we call her "Ma") turned 88 this month and we took her out to eat at Ruby Tuesday's. She's still running circles around the rest of us, but she has decided to retire from her volunteer job at the hospital after 30 years! Don't worry...we'll keep her busy!
My Daddy turns 28 tomorrow, but we celebrated his birthday yesterday, because it was the weekend. We had a party at Granddaddy and Grammy's house, with cake and ice cream and presents! Cousin Caroline came over and I got to play with her, too! Today, Daddy and Granddaddy went to play golf and they had a great time, even though it was 95 degrees! I'm so proud of them because they said they got real high scores!
I've got a new babysitter, Miss Karen and she lives on the way to Mommy's new job, so she doesn't have to drive so far to get me. She's real nice and has some kids of her own and even two dogs! We go places, like to the pool and to the park, too!
Did I tell you that Grandma Sandy is going to move to the same county that we live in? I'm so excited because we'll get to see her much more often!
Well, it's nite-nite time for me. I've had a long day. Thanks for stopping by!
Love, Jayme

16 Months Old!
I'm having a GREAT time walking around everywhere! If I had known it was so much fun, I would have stopped crawling a long time ago!
Tonight after dinner, I walked down the sidewalk, down the driveway, across the street, checked out a mailbox, crossed the street again, walked up a driveway and walked into the neighbor's backyard, all without falling once! (Granddaddy was with me...he must be too old to go out by himself!)
Mommy has a new job and we're all so proud of her! She's working as an admissions counselor for a medical school! She likes the people there and they like her, too!
Daddy's all better now and is working fulltime at the grocery store. He's one of their best workers and all the customers like him a lot!
My new favorite foods are popsicles and Grammy's secret recipe spaghetti! Mommy let me "dig in" last week and I got spaghetti all over myself! (Check out the pictures below) When I was finished eating, Mommy carried me outside to my swimming pool on the back deck and I got to swim around with no clothes on! (No pictures were taken because it would have been too embarassing!)
I hope it's not too hot where you are, but it's been a scorcher around here! That cold milk really hits the spot!
Love,
Jayme Lynn

Yes, Indeed, I'm Walkin'!
Well, we went to the "Pede" last week and he said I should be walking now, so, guess what? Mommy and Daddy helped me learn how and, now, there's no more crawling for me! Sometimes, I fall down, but they tell me to get back up and I do. I must admit I can get places faster on my feet than on my knees!
Mommy says she's extra-glad I'm walking now because she can dress me up in all kinds of dresses and girly-stuff. It was hard to crawl in all those frilly things!
Oh, sure, I still use furniture and the walls to help me get around when they're available. But, I'm getting better and better at walking without any support at all. The only hard part is, you know how, when you're standing up and drop something and it rolls between your legs and you reach down and try to get it and you almost fall on your head? That's scary!
Grammy likes it because she let me stand next to the dryer the other day and pull clothes out and put them in the basket. She says it hurts her back to bend down that far. The only problem is, I like to put things back in the dryer after I take them out and she says that's not the way it works! She just cut back on her job to four days a week, so I get to see her on Fridays more than I used to!
My favorite foods these days are grilled cheese sandwiches and peanut butter 'n jelly sandwiches. But, I'll eat just about anything I see the big people eat, as long as they cut it up small enough for me. I still don't have enough teeth to chew stuff up much.
I've also learned to let people know when I don't get my way. They call it a "temper tantrum," but I think it's just a toddler's natural form of expression! Mommy says I'm a bit early because I'm not supposed to do things like that until I hit the "terrible twos!"
Talk to you again soon! Send me your address and maybe I'll just walk on over to your house!
Love, Jayme

Happy Independence Day!
We got an early start on Independence Day by going to Liberty University, my Mommy and Daddy's alma-mater. On Sunday morning, Thomas Road Baptist Church celebrated their 50th Anniversary by opening a brand-new 6,000-seat sanctuary on the university campus! They even have a play area that looks like Noah's Ark and I got to sit in Jonah's Whale (see photo below). It was awesome! I was one of the first customers in their new nursery and had a great time while my parents and grandparents went to the 10:30 a.m. service.
After lunch, I took a nap and then we went over to the football stadium where they had rides and booths and stuff to eat and a patriotic concert! Mommy even got to meet her favorite singer, Guy Penrod of the Gaither Vocal Band and he gave her a hug and we got our picture taken with him! She says her life is now complete, but I think she's just kidding!
They had people playing music on a big stage and I found out I really like country music! I was clapping along and swinging my arms to the music. Daddy got me a rainbow sno-cone and it was great!
Then, after it got dark, they shot off fireworks from the top of Liberty Mountain! It was really pretty to see all the colors and shapes of the fireworks. I saw them last year, but I was only three months old and don't remember much about them.
We came home through Charlottesville and ate lunch at a hardware store! Well, it USED to be a hardware store, anyway.
We had a great weekend and I hope you did, too! Please keep Aunt Christy in your prayers. She has a pain in her side and it just won't go away! She says cousin Abbey is just fine, though, and it doesn't have anything to do with her. Aunt Christy says, after this, giving birth to Abbey will be a breeze!
Happy Birthday, America!
