Happy almost spring from the Jansen house! We are doing well and enjoying watching the snow melt (good riddance!). Harrison is making the most of his last couple of months being 1. He's started singing songs and you can actually tell what he's singing sometimes. His favorites are the ABCs, twinkle twinkle little star, and any Thomas song. We watch the Thomas song videos on the computer all the time so it's not surprising he knows the words. We've been able to get outside a little bit lately, which is great. Harrison likes shooting baskets in his little hoop. After we went to a state basketball game last week he now requires that I chant "defense" while he's shooting. Never mind that I'm cheering against him... We've started thinking about potty training but it seems to go much better at daycare than at home, so we're not pushing it.
Here are a few pictures of the last few months. Corey and I went to Riviera Maya, Mexico, for 5 days at the end of January with Travis and Melissa Van Genderen. We had a great time. I missed Harrison but did not miss the snow and cold for even a second.

Harrison reading one of his many Thomas books. I don't quite get the appeal of the laundry basket but oh well.
Being silly

Cheese!

Helping Mommy make banana muffins - or just shaking up the vanilla.


We did water babies swimming lessons at the YMCA to get out of the house this winter. Harrison wasn't sure about it the first week, but loved it by the end.

Hi Mommy!
