Crawling

Jenna is doing pretty well crawling now. She falls a lot, but when she is motivated she can really get where she wants a lot faster than I think she is able to! Also, last Monday when she first was showing off her new crawling ability, she went from her stomach to sitting.

Today we're having a playdate. Thomas' dad works with me. His wife and I have emailed a bit because the kids are only a few days apart in age. We decided to get together this afternoon to let the kids play. I'm super excited!

7 Months!

Where has time gone! June went by so fast! Jenna is now pulling up a lot, although she's still too wobbly to stand. She has also within the last few days started to get onto all fours in an attempt to crawl. She is really frustrated that she can't crawl yet, but she's started improvising by rolling everywhere. She can move really quickly when she is motivated. Speaking of motivation, the things that motivate her to move the most are (1) Portia, (2) Portia's favorite bone, (3) the remote and (4) our cell phones. Of course Portia is a moving target, so she doesn't catch her often, but we've caught her with the bone a couple times (eww!) and one day the TV started changing and I couldn't figure out how - I swore I had the remote, but she got her hands on it and was busy pushing buttons.

Last night we fed her a few pieces of chicken. So, she's officially an omnivore and no longer a vegetarian. :) We ate at the table and let her pick up sweet potato bits while we ate. She was mad when they were gone! She's been eating Cheerios and Puffs for a few weeks now and has gotten quite good at picking them up. She's even using the 'pincer' grasp to pick them up part of the time.

Bad Hair Day?

I swear - Jenna has some of the craziest hair! I thought that by the time it was this length that it would start to lay down, but it keeps standing straight up. It is so crazy that we have people ask if we put product in her hair to get it to stand up. I'm sure that it is going to be beautiful thick hair once she gets older, but for now, it is quite the conversation starter! LOL!

The sun was shining in her room the other day when I captured this picture. I think it nicely shows off her 'do!

Happy Father's Day!

Jenna and her WONDERFUL daddy!

Hi!

Happy Jenna Bean!

Thanks Gram!

Gram got these shoes for Jenna - aren't they cute!



Other news - Jenna is now saying Da Da!!!! Yay!!!

Stand Up! Sit Down! Yell a Little Louder!

Jenna has started to pull up to standing from the sitting position. She's still too wobbly and not strong enough to really stand, but she's doing it. She first did it today with Nana, who sat her in the crib to play while she picked out her outfit. Then this afternoon while I was putting clothes away she did the same thing! Time to move that mattress down!

I think that she may be getting more teeth - although I've thought it for a couple weeks now. The last few days she's been gnawing on her finger and today she took a 2 hour nap in the morning and this afternoon she has been asleep for well over 3 hours! When she got the first two teeth she was extremely tired.
