Jane turned three a couple of weeks ago. When she was born, Alice was only 18 months old and, needless to say, the first year or so felt like a blur. When Jane was born we were 99% sure that her name was going to be Beth. Then, in the hospital—as we looked at her, I mentioned Jane—and as Lily said, “it just felt right.” Canyon had the honor of giving Jane her middle name, Elizabeth, named after—who else—Elizabeth Swan from “Pirates of the Caribbean.” It doesn’t feel like three years since she was born, but as she is already acting like a 5-year-old—I guess it’s appropriate.
Here’s what we love about Jane:
She loves to snuggle.
She has perfect hair with just the right amount of curl.
She talks like she’s ten.
She gets whatever she wants and can be a real stinker (I guess that’s what happens when you’re the youngest).
She wants to do everything herself.
She loves her sisters and brother.
She’s what we like to call, independent. Others might call it stubborn.
She’ll eat anything.
All of her baby dolls are named Janie (after her of course).
She knows exactly how and when to turn on the charm to avoid some serious discipline.
And we can’t imagine life without her.
Happy Birthday Jane!

Stubborn, yes. I still remember this summer when I kept telling her that flip-flops were called flip-flops, not flippers. She wasn't too happy to hear that.
