Jenna is 4 months!

I am loving this age!! Jenna is such a happy baby. We are all enjoying her in our family. I can not imagine our family without Jenna. I took her to the doctor on Thursday. Here are her stats.

Weight: 13 lbs. 12 oz.
Height: 24.3 inches
Head: 40.7 cm.
Now, this is honestly what I thought when she was weighed and I saw it read 13 lbs 12 oz. "Oh no, something must be wrong with her! That is to small!!" Seriously, I almost had a panic attack. This is NOT one of my kids!! She gained less than a pound in 1 1/2 months! Well, when I came home to look at the stats of the other kids that I had kept records of I was right in my thinking. The closest one to Jenna's weight at this age was 17 lbs! Cameron was at the top at 4 months with a whopping 22 lbs!! Jenna is the first one to be on the growth chart at 60%. Wahoo!!
The kids just love to hold Jenna so I had to take a picture with all of them. They still can't get enough of her!



A funny story of Jenna while cooking breakfast in the morning last week:
Jenna was sitting in her bouncer being content. Next thing I know she had squirmed out of her bouncer and her whole body was on the ground with her head resting against the bottom of the bouncer. She wasn't crying, just had her arms flailing everywhere!! It was hilarious! The bouncer is the next thing to be put away soon. She really just likes to lay on her back on the ground.

Jenna is rolling from her belly to her back all of the time. Since she sleeps on her belly she will roll to her back a lot. When she is screaming in the crib after I have laid her down it is because she has flipped herself on to her back and can't turn back over to go to sleep.

Her gums on the bottom have 2 bumps in the front, showing the shape of 2 teeth. So in a few months she is going to have some new teeth!

I can't wait to see Jenna's personality come through even more in a few more months!

She is taking after her mom. She'll be walking at 9 months, just like you did. Time is marching right along. First it's two teeth, then it's two dates. :) You are such a good mom. Your job chart idea looks like a winner.

Love
Mom

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
