5 (Fun!) Things About Jasmine
March 6, 2009 by admin
I’ve been working on posting my labor story, which due its length requires a lot of editing, but I promise I’ll get it up soon! Maybe even before she turns one year old. Until then, here are a few photos and tidbits of information to keep you entertained.
1. Jasmine prefers vertical
Jasmine is a really curious baby so unless we’re putting her to bed or feeding her, she doesn’t like to be held in the cradle position where all she can see is the ceiling. She prefers to be held upright now so she can look around.
2. Jasmine loves being held (shocking, huh?)
She wakes up for a couple of feedings in the middle of the night but regardless of what time she last ate, she wakes up at 5:30 am wanting to be cuddled. We assume it’s because she’s been alone for so many hours and therefore indulge her (ok ok, we love it too). I usually have her sleep on my chest in our glider but Jason prefers sleeping with her by his side.
3. Jasmine as a vegetable
I have a new nickname for Jasmine! After my parents bundled her up in a green receiving blanket. Featuring my snow pea (not to be confused with Sweet Pea grandma 
)!
4. Jasmine’s newly acquired smile
If you’ve visited our videos link, you’ll see that Jasmine’s now acquired the ability to socially smile and coo. She’s developed so much in the last few weeks and every day she’s doing something new. It’s amazing and has made all of the crying and late night feedings so much more tolerable rewarding. Here are some still pictures I’ve taken over the last few days of her smiling.
5. Jasmine’s still smaller than bread
Ok, she’s smaller than some bread. I love the products that Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor offers but they are pricey so I can’t bring myself to order anything from them. However, knowing that I love their stuff and especially their bread, Jason went ahead and bought me something from there as a surprise Little did he know how large it would be though. To help you truly appreciate how big this 2 kilo (4.5 pound) bread is, we used Jasmine for scaling purposes.
I hope you enjoyed the update! And to answer the obvious question, yes Jason always wears the same cutoff Blackrock shirt when at home. I swear he washes it very regularly.

She is just becoming her own little person. I love the smiles and your humorous stories that goes with the photos. 2 things though–I don’t think the bread was supposed to be for tummy time and are you sure Jason washes his blackrock shirt all the time, I’m sure I smelled something all the way down here in FL
Love my little Sweet Pea (not the vegetable 
and you guys too. Keep the photos/videos coming! I love the computer age! Grandma H
