five months old!


Jen turned 5 months this past wednesday. she began sitting pretty well with minimal help about a week ago, and yesterday we began the baby cereals twice a day. she's very vocal and loves to splash in the bathtub. she scoots around pretty actively, but doesnt have direction control very well yet, so she very often ends up scooting away from the toy she wants, much to her own dismay. on tuesdays she gets to go with me to a small moms day out class i teach, where she is the youngest of 4 babies/toddlers in the class. on thursdays she gets to go to another childcare program i work at where she gets to go to a different room with babies her own age and teachers who aren't her mommy for a change. she's still a very good-natured baby who is very easy to take to new places and shop with and such, but she has had a few off-days recently where she was actually fussy in the nursery instead of all-smiles! everyone meets her still falls in love instantly, though. she's quite the charmer :)

Dear Jennifer

Can you believe this has only been two months?
Can you believe this has already been two months?
I feel like we are the experts you, yet you still are such a mystery.
I am so excited to be with you as you learn to do new things, but I don't want to rush through the time we have now.
I love it when I catch you smiling at me while I've been looking the other way,
but at the same time, I feel like I shouldn't ever have looked away to begin with....because I almost missed it.
What else did I miss before I noticed you smiling at me?

I love you so much!
Mommy

in the summertime








one road trip down.

we drove from fort worth to st louis a couple of weeks ago for the wedding of my dear fersis. (one of the jennifers whom ours is named for)
our jennifer traveled better than we deserved, and even began sleeping longer stretches beginning our first night away!





This weekend we get to move into a slightly larger apartment. I'm really excited about making an office for Mike out of one closet, and getting to set up Jennifer's room after we've unpacked and get her some furniture. (no ferniture! hehee! ...okay so only two people get that joke....)

but my packing keeps getting interrupted by my being mommy....
