Catch up

Jenna is now 5 months old and it seems like she's doing new things everyday. Now that she can roll over onto her stomach, she's started sleeping on her stomach at night. We still put her on her back, but inevitably she'll roll over. We've noticed she seems to sleep better on her stomach, which Mommy really appreciates.

She's been pushing herself up off the ground and working her legs so she can start crawling. I don't know that Mommy's ready for her to start crawling yet, but Jenna would love to.

She's also discovering her voice more and has started making screeching sounds. It's absolutely hilarious! If you weren't looking at her face, you'd think she was mad, but really she's just "talking."

Since it's now summertime, we bought Jenna a blow-up baby pool for our backyard. She's been in it twice and seems to like it. Actually she was very indifferent about it both times - just not sure what to think of it. Today we took her to my sister's apartment complex pool. The water was FREEZING, but she did great! No crying or fussing. In fact, it looked like she was just laying on her floatie relaxing.

The pictures of Jenna's first swim in a "real" pool are on Grandpa and Grandma's camera, so I'll post them once I get them.


We've also noticed she's much more attentive and really responds to her Mommy and Daddy's smiles. It seems we can always make her smile or laugh just by saying her name and smiling. It melts our hearts!

PEEKABOO!
