To All:

I would like to announce what, come December, will be my newest, and cutest, aquisition: a Baby Brother! Mommy and daddy are thrilled (to say the least), and very, very grateful and happy. They think that will probably call him Jack. I may take a page from Yurtle the Turtle and call him plain ol' Mack -- hopefully the first of several more to move me up in the world!

The stork service is very good but also very slow: nine months until delivery! If the stork packeges weren't sooo much better, Amazon would have run them out of business long ago. Still, there are only four and half months left, so I'll keep you posted.

Dearest readers and family,
When you are almost two, life is busy. In fact, Mommy assures me that it is the same for at least the next two decades of life. Don't worry, I'll write before the next 20 years are up (if it was up to Daddy, you might not be so lucky...)




Some things that I have discovered:
Playgrounds and slides are great! I like to go down slides all on my own now. It's also fun to play on the teeter-totter with Sadie. Funny thing about Sadie -- when I turned one month, she was just barely one month; when I turned a year, she had just barely turned a year... Mommy says that it'll always be like that; that no matter how old I get, except for four days a year, she'll always be the same age as me! This is all very convenient, seeing as she's my best friend and all.

Other than that, Daddy just took his first test for graduate school and Mommy is always writing when I am "asleep" (if I am quiet in my room, Mommy will believe just about anything).

I will probably get to visit Grandma and Grandpa Stewart at Myrtle Beach in October.

Hope that life is as good and full for all of you as it is for me,

Signing out,

March Madness

So this March, Mommy and Daddy have gone crazy on the house! They took that lovely green room with all the stickers on the walls and painted it yellow. Some people and their taste. Not everyone can have my sense of style.

Here's a picture of me in my stylin' glasses back when the room was a delightful jungle green. My friend George felt right at home there.

So, here's my photoshoot, which Mommy inexpertly tried to photoshop. She should take a leaf out of Jesse and Maria's book. THey seem to be pretty good at it.
I'm a very friendly mafia don....



And a very happy flirt...

As far as the others go...what can I say? The camera loves me.

Okay, Okay, so enough poorly photoshopped pictures of me. I mean, what is this blog, all about Jane? Well, yeah,but you should know that Mommy and Daddy are busy too. Apart from the painting of the Jungle room, Mommy has been putting in the garden and daddy...well, Daddy is excercising a lot. He thinks it will make him tougher. Silly Daddy. He doesn't realize that he doesn't need to be tougher, as he is already the strongest, toughest guy in the world. You should see him tear through the prosciutto! He's also good and reading me stories before I go to bed at night. Well, that's all for now.

Signing off,

More from the life of Jane

It's me again. Big announcement: Daddy has finally applied to Grad School! At least, I can tell that he is excited about it. All I know is that his reading abilities are OK. I know, because Grandpa and Grandma Stewart gave me a set of children's encyclopaedias. They sit on a shelf in my room and every night before I go to bed, Mommy or Daddy will read to me from them. After that, its prayer, song time, and I go to sleep. You know, early to bed, early to sneak off to the computer in the middle of the night, and then late to rise. It's a good life...

As for my life, here are a few candid photos of my daily, or almost daily, activities. First of all: Oatmeal! What can I say? I'm a good Stewart.








After breakfast, any day with my best friend Sadie is a good day. Packing peanuts are never a bad thing either.

Grandpa and Grandma Stewart also gave me some really cool cooking things for Christmas. These are best spread out across the floor of the living room. However, if I want to work on something in particular, I can take to my very own work table. Fried corn is yummy!
Of course, cleanliness is next to godliness. Besides, Mommy and Daddy think that its cute when I scrub my table down. Rule number one of Jane's business success secrets: Cuteness = leverage. Archimedes said "Give me a leaver long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall more the world." Jane says that Mommy's heart is a wonderful fulcrum, and with just enought "leverage" anything is possible. Just think, lots of raisins today, a kittycat at Christmas, and on my sixteenth birthday, a pink ferrari!

And finally, for those fuzzy friends who leverage their cuteness with me... well, they are so cuddly! I guess what goes around comes around.




This is a picture of Mommy's favorite piece of furniture. Even my cuteness hasn't gotten eating privileges on it yet... Notice the coat. Daddy claims he is trying to find a wood stove insert to make the fireplace more fuel efficient. I think he turns down the central heating just for fun to see if he can bring out the eskimo in mommy and me.

Update Number 2

As you may have guessed from the paucity of postings, my Daddy leaves something in the way of effort to be desired as my official online press agent. Therefore, I have decided to take things into my own hands. Like all little aspiring computer gurus, I do my best to get good practice in at the keyboard whenever I can. For some reason, Daddy (and Mommy), are less than thrilled when they catch me at it. -- Therefore, notice my pajamas, I must do these posts at the dead of night.

Personal updates:
I have finally caught George, the most well traveled monkey in the monkey council. We are developing great plans as partners in crime. He's already put me in contact with several New York "plumbers" who I trust will be useful in my future schemes. Did you know that Luigi is locally known as "The Man in the Yellow Hat"?

..uh oh... technical problems, and Daddy is coming... I will keep you posted. Happy new year from the J.G. Stewart & Associates
*Ahem, from David and Samantha and Jane*
