Not much to post, but I have a free minute, so I might as well, right?

Jenna has her 6 month appointment on Thursday. I have a feeling that we won't have to worry about her being underweight this time, lol! She's a bit of a chubby bunny. Gotta love leg rolls!!!

Today we were fairly lazy. Aaron and I take turns getting up early with her on the weekend and today was my day to sleep in. Ahhh! I so look forward to the days I get that extra sleep. Why is it that the night owls always have a morning bird?

I got some new toys for Jenna to play with in the tub, so she was really excited while waiting for me to get her bath ready tonight. It was so cute to see her so excited!

Music to my ears!

Jenna said 'ma ma' for the first time last weekend! She can make the 'b', 'm' and 'g' sounds fairly well. We're working on 'd' - it isn't fair if she only says 'ma ma', right?

I can wear a bow!

We took this picture last week before heading to my cousin's graduaton party. It was the first time we were able to put a bow in Jenna's hair.



I took Jenna on a playdate today with my friend Kristin's baby Aubrey. She's a few months older than Jenna. At first they were sitting and looked at each other a bit and played with their toys. We laid them down and they grabbed each other's hands and then moved their arms all around. It was really cute - my guess is that they were both trying to figure out how to get the other's hand in their mouth. :D

Mother's Day Surprise

I hope that all you mothers out there had a great day yesterday! "Jenna" got me a gift card for a massage and a sweet card.

The big surprise that she had for me though was her first tooth! It popped through at some point yesterday. She was a bit more fussy than usual, but not too bad. I was worried that she wasn't going to sleep well because she seemed to be having some pain just before bed and we were having a difficult time getting her to calm down. But, Aaron took her to bed and she went down without a fuss and didn't wake until after 7 this morning.

Who's Ready for Summer?

I am!!!

First Food

Last week I took Jenna for her 4 month check-up. She is doing great! She weighed 12.5 lbs and was 24.75 inches. Her weight is still fairly low, but a bit better than it was before - the doctor was not concerned. She had two shots - and did great with them! She cried right after the first prick, but the nurse was quick and Jenna recovered quickly. By the time I was able to pick her up she had stopped crying. The doctor told me that she could start eating solids anytime between now and her next appointment. We decided to give some very runny cereal a try last night. She did great! Everyone (including the doctor) had warned me to expect her to spit most of it out and to hate it. She seemed to already know how a spoon worked and after 2 or 3 bites she was opening her mouth when we got the spoon to her mouth. She did spit out one bite, but otherwise she ate it very well. Tonight we made the cereal slightly thicker. She wasn't sure about it at first, but after a couple bites was opening wide anticipating bites. We think she actually likes it. What a funny babe!

Mmmmmm:

Long time...no see

15 Weeks:





Well, between work, moving, and baby, blogging has taken a backseat, but I'm back.

Since I last posted Jenna has continued to roll over - for Nana only! Aaron and I still haven't seen her roll over, just Nana and Faith! It reminds me of when I was pregnant with her and she wouldn't move when people were feeling my belly...paybacks, perhaps?

Other recent developments that I may not have posted about:

(1) She is now sitting with assistance very well. She still topples over if we don't give her some support, but she's doing very well for her age!

(2) The fuzzy chick hair (or tennis ball hair as Aaron likes to call it) is getting longer. If it wasn't so fine I think we could put a barette in it, but alas, it is fine as, well, baby hair. :)

(3) Her eyes seem to have settled on BLUE! Yay for team Julie! Lol!

(4) She has entered the stage where she cries as soon as we lay her down for bed or a nap. Not fun, especially when you move and your baby is having an adjustment period and is waking up at 3 am most nights. She usually cries herself to sleep within about 10 minutes, but it makes us so sad to hear. Unfortunately we found out the hard way that if we don't let her cry, she will cry every time we lay her down...over and over again. I couldn't resist and had to take a picture as she was starting to cry the other night.



(4) She's a talker! She jibbers and jabbers all the time. She throws in all kinds of inflections with lots of different sounds - it is adorable!

16 weeks (shirt courtetsy of Chris - isn't it cute?):



17 weeks:

I took this today when she was riding in the sling while I picked up around the house. She hadn't been in it for a couple months. She used to sleep whenever I put her in it, but this time, she was wide eyed and very calm.
