Yes, she is! I can't believe Jenna is 5 months old already! The time is flying by so quickly, but we are sure enjoying her more interactive and fun personality as she grows older. We took her to be weighed and measured last weekend when she turned 5 months and she continues to do well. Jenna is 14 lbs. 6 oz. and is 24 1/2" long. I find it hard to get an exact measurement, but we think it's pretty close. This means she grew about 1 1/2" in one month! She's still pretty short for her age, but that's alright!! She's growing and doing well, so that's all that matters! She is now rolling over consistently from her back to her tummy. It's pretty funny that when we lie her down, she instantly is trying to get to roll over. At least she doesn't mind being on her tummy! I often wonder if she's going to be an early mover too... she likes to bring her legs up and then kick them back while on her tummy. It's pretty cute, since just her bum goes into the air and her chest stays on the floor. :) We gave her rice cereal last weekend for the first time and she now has cereal once per day at breakfast. She wasn't a huge fan and didn't really know what to do with it, but it's improving... slowly. This week, I introduced a sippy cup with her cereal too. She did really well with it! It's pretty cute how the sippy cup is so big compared to her face! But she held onto it right away and knew to put the spout in her mouth too! We are working on some sleep re-training with Jenna right now, since she has regressed from her fantastic sleep schedule the past few weeks. She had not been napping very well and was waking up in the middle of the night and eating an entire bottle... very strange for her! It seems to be improving... slowly. Last night she slept for 9.5 hours before waking up, which was good. Hopefully things continue to get better!
Jenna is completely in love with her big brother! She gives him the biggest grins and giggles when he's playing around her, talking to her, or kissing her! I love it! I really hope this continues and our kids remain friends as they grow older. I truly hope they appreciate family as much as I do and have a strong connection with each other as they age.
Gerry and Colby went to the Oil Kings game on Wednesday night. Colby had a nap on the way into the city, which was a blessing! We thought he might be ready to come home after one period, but it turns out he LOVED it!! They stayed and watched the entire game! He was pretty excited that Daddy bought him a new Oilers stick and when asked his favorite part of the game, he responded, "The red zamboni!" I'm glad they had such a great time together!!
Have a great week everyone! Enjoy the beautiful weather ahead!! We're loving these well-above-zero temperatures!!
xoxo The Cameron Family
