Carseat fun

I really wish I had gotten a video or at least a better picture a couple of nights ago. When I was trying to put Jenna in her carseat to go home, she did NOT, I repeat NOT! want to get back in it. I laid her in it and she just wiggled and wiggled and turned herself over backwards and finally wiggled her way out of the carseat. It was absolutely hilarious!!! Had I been impatient or in a bad mood, though, I would have been quite angry. As it was, I found it really cute and funny. Well, anyways, yesterday, I got some pictures of her just sitting in her carseat with her jacket only on her head and not over her arms. No she didn't get this way in the carseat by herself. I put her in it like that, but she was being so cute, I had to take pictures.







I'm queen of the wipes!!!!



As you can tell by the picture, one of Jenna's favorite toys is.....the wipe container. I have never seen a baby so intrigued by a white bucket like she is sometimes. She's really getting around now and she is learning how to climb up things. She hasn't quite gotten the one-leg-at-a-time crawling down yet, but she sure gets to where she wants to go. She is so cute sometimes, but she is into everything. I know, you're all thinking, "you're only just beginning!!" I know, but just because I don't like how she gets into everything, I still love her and I just hope I can continue to have patience with her!!!

"These things have eggs-tra color!!!"

It's coming up on Jenna's very first Easter this weekend!!! James and I have been trying to get together with other young couples and have Family Home Evening to make it a little more interesting. Yesterday, we had Natalie and Brady Coulston over to decorate easter eggs and eat strawberry shortcake (ymmmmmm delicious!!!). Since this was Jenna's first egg decorating experience, of course I took some pictures


Happy Easter Everyone!!!!!





Silly silly

Just so you all know, Jenna was doomed in the silliness category before she was ever born. Anyone who knows either one of her parents will agree wholeheartedly :) She loves crawling around naked, always has. But now, she gets to do it more often just because it's warming up! Yeah!!!!! (knock on wood) She's always been a little camera, too, but now she is cute enough just trying to GET to the camera!










Curiousity gets the baby!!!!

As you all know, 6 month old babies are very curious of their surroundings and like to get into anything and everything they see and can reach. Well, Jenna is really into playing with her carseat these days. I set it in the corner when I don't want it to be in the way (or if I want the room to look less cluttered). Well, since Jenna is all over the place these days, it was not safe in the corner. She saw it and sought it out immediately. When she got there, she noticed the blanket sitting on top. She knew that in order to reach the inside of the carseat, she had to get rid of that blanket first. So she grabbed onto it and tried to get it out of the way. Instead, she pulled it out on top of her.
At first, I thought she was going to get upset from being under the blanket and being in the dark, but to my surprise, she just sat there with the blanket over her upper body and didn't say anything or move for the longest time!!!!

It was absolutely hilarious!!! She finally wiggled her way through the other side and got out eventually.

Tractor baby

Jenna gets really excited when she gets to play at Grandma Baker's house. She has a little tiny toy tractor!!!! On Sunday, Jenna was going crazy with this little green machine. She squishes it, plays with it and then sucks it to death!!!



She's already getting to love the tractors and mommy is worried (ok not worried) that she will love them too much when she gets older!


She also loves to play with the little rubber ball too.

Ice, Ice baby!!!

This last weekend, James and I and Jenna went out to a Mexican dinner with Leon and Lorraine. Jenna was really good through our chips and salsa and partway through the actual meal, which is good for her. (Normally she gets fussy and wants out of her carseat once we get our food.) Anyways, after we were done eating, Lorraine held her and put a peice of ice on the table in front of her. Jenna absolutely loved it!!! She played with those ice cubes forever!!! What a silly girl!


1/2 a year old already!!!!!

I just can't believe it's been 6 months already!!! Jenna is half a year old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought about making half a cake and being cheesy like that, but I didn't. I did, however take some pictures of her. I was trying to do laundry that night and James thought it would be fun to have Jenna help Mommy fold it. I had already laid the folded clothes on the floor and I kinda freaked out when he set her on the floor!!! I didn't want to fold them again! Instead, Daddy put Jenna INSIDE the clothes basket to help that way.

Oh and her stats:

Very healthy

17" around head (I think)

26.5" long

20 lbs 8 oz
