Jenga Jahara: The Video

Jahara Future Jenga Champ!

Grandpa helped get me started, and then I was off and running.

Stand back everyone, this is getting a little hairy.

The block tower is still standing!

Christmas Day: The Picture

Oh boy, the big elf came last night and it's time to get the party started.

For me?!?

I'm a little rusty mom, help me out.

Another one?

Now it's on to the bag. YIPPEE!

Check out this fuzzy, furry blanket with my best buddy Dora on it.

I think my baby doll likes it too. The best part, I won't get in trouble for taking the Binky out of her mouth.

Moving on to the maracas... Cha-Cha-Cha!

Oh, the baby is getting fussy, time to put the Binky back in her mouth.

Don't get me wrong, I still love my stuffed animals. This one even tells a story.

Present intermission, let's see what mom is ripping open.

WOW!

Oh my gosh! Another baby!! I can start my own Cradles 2 Crayons soon.

Hmm...what's next?

The snowman, I must admit, has peaked my curiosity.

Whatever could it be?

Watch as I effortlessly fling this paper.

Ooh, I glow worm. I think Mr. Red Bear, my sleeping buddy in Houston, might have some competition.

DORA!

All this gift unwrapping sure requires a lot of energy.

Mom, can you step in and help me out for a couple of minutes.

Wow!! Toddler Couture all the way from Cleveland, Ohio.

Grandpa made me some blocks too, like the kind mom and Uncle Matt used to play with as kids. Gotta' love the retro toys.

Uh-oh, they all fell down.

My stylin' Nikes are coming off a bit too in the chaos. MOM!

Speaking of retro toys, this puzzle looks seventies, but it also plays 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'. COOL!

Just when I thought the fun was all gone, I discovered that I too can have a little doggy to carry around the airport on the trip home. Hopefully, we won't be stranded in the airport for nine hours again this time.

Grandma's friend Loretta came over for holiday lunch, and I got to show off all my new toys and clothes to her. She even brought me a stuff dog too.

Ruff! Ruff!

Jahara Running Around

Jahara Works Up an Appetite at the Midland Mall

This tooth brush blows my Dora one out of the water!

Who's that cute toddler in the mirror?

No matter, I have now moved on to puzzles.

I even took a second to help out my 'baby' friends.

Mom stayed pretty close at first cuz' there were a bunch of big kids around, but I could definitely hold my own.

In fact, it was I who looked out for my baby friend.

Vroom!! Vroom!!

The party really got started once Kali and her mom showed up. We discovered that while you couldn't jump on the bed, it made a great slide.

Let's do that again!

All this running around has worked up an appetite.

Kali, I have a spot saved for you right here.

I even offered her some gold fish, but for whatever reason, she passed.

Jahara and the Giant Grape

Jahara in an Aunt Bridget Hat Fashion Expose

Check me out!

I'm almost as cool as my Aunt Bridget.

Now that I've got the hat on backwards I think I may even be COOLER than my Aunt Bridget.

Check out my runway walk.

Here Aunt Bridget, let's do a hat swap.

I'll even help you put it on.

Or maybe I should sport this Detroit hat instead.
