Big Kid

Jenna moved to the big Infant side of the classroom this week and she has learned to love snack time this week! :)

Jordan's Valentine to God

So the teachers asked the three year olds to write/tell them their Valentine's to God. This list was sent home yesterday. Hilarious. I will add more from the list when I am in front of the sheet of paper, but Jordan's goes like this.

Dear God, Happy Valentine's Day. I like to tell you what I want from Santa for Christmas and I really like calendar time (circle time) at school.

So funny!

Oh, and another post on Jordan's recent behavior. She is one strong-willed child at school, but only when it comes time for nap! She just about refuses to take one, and has at times been basically a bit of a stinker. She has had to make trips to Mrs. Lynn's office (ELC Director) and actually take her nap in her office so that the other children have some peace and quiet. I can honestly say that this gene is NOT a Gayla gene. :)

Jenna - 7 months

I am a week late, but Jenna is 7 months and 15 lbs now! YAY! Sleeping the entire night consistently. However, she is still sleeping in our room in the pack and play. I am not prepared to go up and down stairs when she does need me! She is sitting and rolling and starting to show interested in reaching/scooting for toys. She is an easy, happy baby! Jenna loves to squeal and 'sing'. She might just like to hear herself OVER her sister. HA! We are all moved into our new house - the girls love their rooms. I hope to post several pictures very soon!

New House

Jenna

Jenna's Firsts:

Finally sitting

Finally rolled from back to front (in her sleep)

Finally moved across the room by her sister (knew this would happen at some point)

Finally eating baby food daily and LOVES it

The best giggles ever

Recognizes her family and smiles/cries when we enter/leave her sight

No teeth yet however

Ear infection, ear infection, and croup all within 1 month.

More on her 7 month update soon.

Snowflake Ball

May we always remember Jordan's first love - Daddy! Her very first dance. I bet she does not make it until the last song....one tired girl.

Happy 6 Months

Jenna turned six months yesterday! Time sure has gone by fast. I took her to see her doctor this morning and she was

24 inches long - 15%

Head circumference was 10%

And 14 lbs - 20%

Growing GREAT.

However, she does have another ear infection in the same ear as in December, and the other ear still has fluid. We are starting a strong antibiotic tonight.

Jenna is squealing, smiling, and laughing and starting to use her hands more and more. She is still not interested in rolling over much or sitting - guess she is going to do all this when she is good and ready! She has finally tried rice cereal and carrots. I don't think this baby is going to have any trouble eating from a spoon - she seemed to like both just fine! YAY!

We'll go back in a month for another ear check to make sure the infection did clear up from the strong dose of antibiotics. Keep your fingers crossed.

Pictures soon.
