Crawling Video

Drive to Pensacola

I drove 6 hours from Jacksonville to Pensacola with an 8 month old baby! Am I crazy or what?! Well, believe it or not...she didn't make one peep. She slept and played with her toy on her carseat and was soo quiet. We finally made it to Pensacola and Jenna got to see her Grandpa and Grandma! They haven't seen each other since Thanksgiving...so 4 months ago! My, has she changed since then. Grandma was so impressed on how well behaved she was. How she's such a *good baby*. We reunited the whole Mason Clan, all 5 of us! The last time all 5 of us were together was back in 2001! Holy cow-we haven't all been together for THAT long?! Well, it was a treat to see everyone at the same time, however, it was under sad circumstances. Grandma's funeral is scheduled for April 24, 2009. :(

Okay, so we had a great time visiting with the family. We're home now, safe & sound. Now, we can get back into our normal routine. It's nice knowing that my Grandma is at peace and is playing golf and eating orangle slices in Heaven! :)

Baby on the MOVE!!

We finished work early today, so I picked up Jenna so my co-workers could play with her. They made her work for what she wanted and she began crawling! They tempted her with her favorite snack and she started scooting towards them! And once she finally came in arms reach, they would move them just a little bit further away. Jenna was getting frustrated, but she never gave up. So now, she wants to crawl all over the place. We call it her "Wounded Warrior Crawl". It is absolutly hilarious! Check out the video and see for yourself!

First Flight to Nashville!

Jenna and I flew to Nashville to visit with Jeannie & Angie. She did awesome on the plane! When we got dressed this morning, Jenna wanted to wear her shirt that read "I love my Aunt" and when Aunt Jeannie & Aunt Angie saw her, they noticed it right away! Jenna loves her Aunties! So we did some shopping and pushed Jenna around the mall while we oohed and aahed over baby clothes for Angie & Devlin's new addition! We stayed at Aunt Angie's house and played with Myka and Zoe. The dogs loved her toys and really wanted a taste of her puffs and baby food. Jenna doesn't like to share! On Friday, we visited Angie's workplace then went over to Jeannie's house. Jenna finally met her Uncle Ney! She played with her cousins, Daniel and Branden. On Saturday, we had a baby shower for Angie! It was a great success and we had a blast! Angie's friends came over and we laughed and played games. She got wonderful gifts! Jeannie made us a special treat: Key Lime Napoleons! And they have become my new favorite dessert! Yummy!! I can't wait to make them for Joe! Then Sunday, we said our goodbyes :(
and we flew home.
Sadly, when we got home...we got some sad news from my Dad...my Grandma passed away :(
so...another trip on Thurday- to Pensacola.

Easter with Grandma & Sarah!!

What a nice surprise for Jenna's first Easter! Grandma and Sarah came to visit and came bearing gifts! Jenna got a wonderful Easter basket with rubber ducky toys, a peeping chick, and a singing frog! However, the best present...her first stuffed bunny! It's twice the size of her and she loved it! We laughed and played all day! We went for a nice walk and went to the park. Jenna loves the swing! We got her a Hello Kitty Easter basket filled with books, toys, and candy! However, since Jenna can't eat candy and chocolate just yet...I was able to help her out. So, we still have 4 days left to spend with the family before our mini vacation!

Ear Infection?!

I had NO idea!! I dropped Jenna off at daycare like normal and went on my merry way to work. After 4 hours of being at work, the daycare calls me to tell me that Jenna needs to be picked up because she has a fever. I was shocked! Really? She seemed fine when I left her there. So I leave work and get to the daycare to see Jenna laying in her crib looking sad :( I felt her head and she was burning up! Even her arms were warm! Her fever was still mild at 101 degrees so I thought I'd just call the doctor to see if she needed to be seen. Because of the holiday weekend with Easter on Sunday, they said better be safe than sorry. So we head over to the pediatrics office and they re-check her temperature. In the 35 minute drive over, her fever climbed to 103.4 degrees! Crazy! So, she has a left ear infection! She's on Amoxicillin now and seems to be doing better. Hope this clears up soon!
