Jumping Jacks

Little Rosie is the happiest baby I have ever seen. Super laid back and happy happy happy. She doesn’t need much, just a look and a smile to get her laughing and smiling right back. Even when her big brother smacks her on the head, she will look at him, decide if it really hurt or not, then smile wide and squeal in delight that he is paying attention to her. Silly little princess.

Her favorite activity is jumping jacks. In the pool, on your hip, in the stroller, in her bed: leg popping, arm swinging, jumping jacks. (It seems I make really active children. I mean really active. So active that my dream house has a rubber track running around the fenced in backyard good for timing races on foot, bikes, skates, scooters, unicycles, stilts . . . while momma sits in a very comfy chair with a stopwatch.)

She isn’t the best sleeper just yet and will wake multiple times each night and fuss. As soon as she sees another living thing the smiling and jumping jacks commence. She could be half asleep and go into full on exercise mode. As if to say “Oh, hello momma. What are you doing awake at 2am?” It is hard not to smile right back at her.

I guess my only concern is for her future husband because that could get really annoying and possibly dangerous.
