Puffs and the Sippy Cup

Today Jenna ate her first puff. After she figured out I put it on her tray, she wanted to play with it. She would switch it back and forth between her hands, but she couldn't get it off her hand and into her mouth. So mommy stuck it in her mouth. Her first reaction was to gum it.

Then it disovled away and she ate it!

Mmmmm, yummy, Mommy can I have another?

Jenna has also been drinking out of a sippy cup for about a month. She does really well with it, she just doesn't always get it tipped up far enough to get the liquid out.

She has had Apple juice, Grape juice, and water. Grape juice is her favorite by far!

Papaw's Tractor Pull Debut!

On Saturday, Lance took Jenna and I to the Gasthof for lunch. It is an amish restaurant and the food was superb. Afterwards, we went to the Antiquie Tractor Show in Elnora. The feature tractor of the show was Massey, so of course my Dad took 3 of his tractors. The show had a "just for fun" tractor pull that my dad entered with his Massey Ferguson 444. This is a pictue of his tractor pull debut!
"Ohhh no papaw, it's too scarey I can't watch. Please don't break the pretty tractor!"

Since it was just for fun, they didn't measure how far the tractors actually pulled. Regardless, fun was had!

Play Ball

Tonight I sat Jenna on the floor and grabbed her ball. I rolled it to her and she was very excited. So excited she smacked the ball and it rolled back to me. This, of course, made me roll it back to her. We had lots of fun rolling the ball back and forth. She did very well sitting up and reaching for the ball. However, I was too busy playing to be a good mommy and take pictures. Maybe I will get the camera out and post some new ones later this weekend.

She's Getting to be a Big Girl

Lance and I have really seen a transformation in our baby girl lateley. She is starting to show much independence and personality. Jenna is doing a wonderful job sitting up and using her hands to play while doing so. She is getting to where she like to be held even less than she did before (which I didn't think was possible).

Over the weekend we ate at Hardee's. She kept grabbing for my basket of french fries and the ketchup. She managed to get into both. Lance gave her a french fry to gum on and she managed to get it gummed apart and actually at it. You would have thought we gave her a million dollars, because her facial expression was priceless.

Yesterday, Lance and I went on our "date night" and Jenna sat in a real high chair. We weren't sure how she would do with it, but she did wonderful. She thought she was hot stuff, getting to sit in her own chair. It is amazing to see her get excited when she "graduates" to toddler things.

Plus 2

Jenna and I went to the doctor's office today for an appointment. Jenna got a weight check. She is one day shy of 7 months and now tips the scales at 14 pounds 8 ounces. That is just shy of a 2 pound gain in 6 weeks! YAY. She has exactly doubled her birth weight (7 lbs 4 ozs). She is just starting to outgrow her 3-6 month clothes.

Then I found out that Jenna still had all her clothes and diaper on. So she hasn't really gained two pounds and still hasn't doubled her birthweight......
