Yes, Jenna is 4 months old today! I can't believe it! On one hand, it feels like it was just yesterday I was walking into the operating room, but on the other hand, it's hard to remember life without her in our family! She is still a great sleeper and is improving on her naps, too! We are following more of a routine that she seems to have developed on her own. She continues to grow, just slowly. Jenna has finally made it onto the growth chart and is now 23" long (10%ile for height). However, she is definitely eating well and it shows! She is 13 lbs. 10 oz. (50%ile for weight). She's getting some big, chubby cheeks, just like her brother had (and Mommy!), but she still looks adorable. We are baffled by the differences in babies! Colby was always in the 75%ile to off to charts in height and weight. Out of curiosity, I looked back at Colby's baby book... he was 23" long at 6 1/2 weeks old and weighed 13 lbs. 11 oz. at 2 months!! Crazy!! I'm sure she'll catch up, but right now, we're thinking Jenna's "short genes" are coming from Gerry's side of the family?!? She's healthy and happy and that's all that matters! Jenna had her immunizations on Tuesday night. Sadly, they didn't go as well as her 2 month needles did. She cried for a long time... in that terrible pain cry that no parent likes to ever hear! It took me quite a while to settle her down and we gave her Tylenol before bed and she was better the next day after a good night's sleep.
Gerry's team did very well in this past weekend's Men's Bonspiel! They won their first two games, so they played in the A Semi-finals on Sunday morning. They lost by 2 points, so they did not advance to the Finals and were out. But it was great to watch and Colby enjoyed watching curling and playing with trucks on the floor upstairs.
We've had a busy week with activities most days. We went to Tracy's house on Wednesday morning and Colby had a great time playing with Blake! It's nice that they get along so well and play quite well together too, being only 7 months apart in age. Preschool went really well again this week and Colby loves doing the crafts there. It's always the first thing he does! He loves that there are different toys out every week, too. He hasn't napped all week, which has been very tiring for Mom! It's frustrating because I see him yawning and rubbing his eyes, but he won't settle down to sleep. Grr... He still has quiet time in his room and reads books to Tip Top, but still not the same. His bedtime has been quite a bit earlier with no nap... I really don't understand how a 2 year old can be up for so long in a day without a nap!! It's tough for me to be! LOL! Anyway, we'll survive this transition period and maybe with spring and more time playing outside, he'll be more tired and ready for naps again?!? Notice the question marks!? Here's hoping!!
I'm very excited for a scrapbooking night tomorrow night with some friends here in our basement (that we've transformed into a crop space!) I'm hoping to get some work done from our San Diego trip before we head to Vegas! Have a great weekend everyone!
Gerry, Lesley, Colby and Jenna xoxo
