Catching up with Jaden!

I wish I had more time to keep up with Jaden's blog but I have a small distraction by the name of Warren!  With all the Doctors visits and evaluations that we have been doing for Warren lately, I feel like Jaden just gets left out.  Luckily she has been pretty easy going when it comes to all this and she just goes with the flow!     It also helps that she can use Mommy's Ipad whenever something is going on with Warren.  Jaden is growing up so fast and I just want her to slow down!  She has decided she no longer needs a nap which sucks because I sometimes need one and she was my nap buddy!  I have finally handed over the reigns and she now gets to pick out her own clothes which has made for some colorful outfits!  Lately she looks more like a teenager then a 4 year old!

She has also become very crafty!  She could sit for hours doing some kids of craft.  We finally got to go shopping to spend some of her Christmas money and instead of toys she bought crafts.  Its great for me because it keeps her busy!

She loves her friends and has been busy hanging out with some of her favorites!

She was so happy she got to play with Grayce, Hannah and of course Micah!

The highlight of this week was getting to see Sophie Su!  Our lives have been so hectic since we got home from China we haven't been able to see them much.  There will always be a special bond between these two girls!

She and Grayce got to make welcome home signs for Jack when he came home from China!  And we got to see him at the airport!

And she was nice enough to pose for pictures in her ballet outfit and even with her little brother!

January so far...

Once again we have had a month full of birthdays!  We started it by heading down to Cinci to celebrate cousin Chase's 4th birthday!

Yesterday we headed across the street to Andrew's super heroes 4th birthday party!

Jaden also started back up with her dance class!  Unfortunately of the four girls who started dance together Jaden is the only one left.  I was worried how she would react since none of her friends are in the class but I am happy to report that she still loves it!  She is now focusing on just ballet and leaving tap behind!  She is doing a great job!  She is so excited about wearing her costume at her recital in June!

The past two weeks her good friend Grayce has been staying with us in the afternoon while her mommy is in China.  The girls are having a blast and spend the majority of the day in the basement playing dress-up!

 
We have spent a little time at the indoor play place burning off extra energy!

We also braved the cold to go to the zoo!

Jaden is also now the proud owner of a new fish she named Shark Bait!  Unfortunately her last fish went on a permanent vacation a few months ago and she somehow talked her daddy into a new one!

In little brother news Jaden is doing much better with Warren.  I only have to break up a few fights a day and she has been including him in a lot of playing!  I think they may just be starting to love each other!
