Dear Daddy,

I am missing you a LOT and you wouldn't believe how much I have grown while you have been gone! I'm a really big girl now! While you have been gone I have learned how to make chocolate chip cookies.And speaking of food I have learned to eat a lot of foods - all by myself! I LOVE popsicles and frozen yogurt sticks are great too! Why have I been alive for an entire year without ever trying this stuff?!?! In fact, I hated cows milk when mommy gave it to me so I refused to drink it....until she took all liquids away from me (juice) because that is all I wanted to drink. I have been forced to drink milk. Life is hard!!
I have had fun playing on the trampoline

And I loved seeing my cousins and was especially fond of James who is the same age as me. People confuse us because our names are so similar.

I have also been introduced to the mountains.
I love fires and loved watching everyone roast hot dogs and marshmallows.

I love all the rocks that are in the mountains. They are fun to play on.

I must also admit I am a pretty good hiker. I don't know why everyone was complaining about their legs hurting at the end of the hike. I personally thought it was all a piece of cake!

I have become really good at going on picnics. We even met Grandpa for a lunch pic nic and we got to see where he works.


Oh and I don't like to stay put at all. I really don't love to sit in the stroller anymore. There is way too much to explore. Why do they think I should sit all the time?!?
Mommy even took me to Salt Lake to take my one year old pictures and I didn't want to sit for that either. She kept sitting me down and as soon as she would get ready to take my picture I would crawl away as fast as I could. I thought I was pretty funny!
I know it looks like I am all about play but don't worry, I do try to get some work done too. I love it when the dishwasher is open. I make a mad dash for it whenever it is open. I did topple the bottom rack on me. That didn't feel too good but I still love the dishwasher.

Oh I am a little naughty sometimes. Well, I wouldn't say I'm naughty. I am just curious. I have been found in the living room destroying things I shouldn't be.

I love to pull everything out of the drawers and I have claimed this drawer for my very own. There is absolutely no organization to it anymore. I prefer it that way.

I have been caught red handed in the pantry. Why didn't anyone ever tell me about these potato chips?!?! Mommy made me mad when she took them away and made me leave the pantry.
And speaking of mad..... I hate to admit it but I am a bit of a drama queen and might have a slight temper. But it's slight....I only scream when I don't get what I want!

Don't worry dad - I may have grown up a lot in the past month but I am still your little girl and still as cute as ever!!

Love,

Jane
