Growing up...

I swear, this child changes so drastically! Just 2 weeks ago, she was barely sitting up on her own. Now, with practice, she's able to sit unassisted for a good amount of time. She only topples over when trying to reach something behind her or out of her reach. She is pretty stable and keeps her balance well! She is also "wanting" to crawl. At least, that's the way it looks. She might just be tricking us! She can lay on her belly and hold herself up on her arms, but not her knees. She can spin around on her belly a whole 360 degrees! A little bit of scooting backwards, but not a whole lot of actually moving forward. I swear, I'll shut my eyes and then she'll be crawling. I just can't believe how fast she learns new things. She is even watching my mouth when I say words like MaMa, DaDa, doggie. She is saying m's, d's, b's, and g's. I'm just amazed...

Yucky stomach bug!

Today I stayed home from work to keep Jenna at home. She has gotten this yucky stomach bug (yes, from daycare). I know that this is just one of those things that you have to deal with when having your child in daycare, but I'm willing to accept that germs and viruses are spread everywhere so I can't hate daycare too much! Jenna got sick on Saturday 3.7.09 with vomiting and diarrhea. I changed her normal diet to just formula in small amounts more frequently so she can get the fluids she needs without upsetting her tummy too much. She is doing much better today. She is able to keep all of her milk down, but still having runny poopies. As soon as her stomach gets a little stronger, the nurse said that it would be good to give her a little bit of rice cereal to help thicken up her diet and hopefully her bowels. TMI (too much information)?? :) Well, I just hope she's feeling better soon!

Better late than never...

So we are nearing Jenna's 7 month old mark and I know that this comes a little late, but I just wanted to be able to have a place where you can come and find out all about Jenna! As you follow along, you will ready any and all of what is going on and see many new pictures and hopefully some videos as well (assuming that I can figure out how to post them!). So, all I can say is: Enjoy!!
