All the kids are asleep right now, except Jane. So, I'm sitting and playing just with my little Janebug, and it's very sweet to have her all to herself.
Something about her right now reminds me very strongly of Brie at this age. The intensity with which she looks at her toys, the straight posture as she sits up, the sweep of soft brown hair across the high forehead she inherited from her dad.
Jane's a little stinker, sometimes, most likely to bite while nursing, most likely to keen unceasingly when she's too tired to quite fall asleep. But she's also a little sparkler of sweetness - sweet sounds, sweet hands, sweetest smiles. She reminds me of a little pixie.
Lord Jesus, may Jane be your beloved, as her namesake, St. John was. May her sweetness be, all her life, offered up in your service, may she be always strengthened by your love.
-Jess
