Kroger

We went shopping at Kroger Marketplace a few weeks ago, and Jenna wanted her own cart. Since we were only getting a few things, I let her have one. She was a little bit reckless with it, but overall she did good. I snapped a shot in the produce area. Check out her leg--she's got posing down!

Pretty Feet

Jenna sat still long enough for me paint her toes this week, and I thought they turned out really cute. She picked the color, and was very excited to see the finished product. I've painted them before, but it's just been every once in a while and the color has always been very pale. Here's the pic of what they look like this time...

Jenna's New Hat

One of my friends from work bought Jenna a new hat while on her vacation in Holden Beach. Jenna loved it, as you can see!

First Dentist Visit

Jenna went to the dentist for the first time last week. It was quite an experience! We'd been talking her about going to see the "tooth doctor" and tried to prepare her for the event. We bought this book and showed her the special chair she'd get to sit in and the mirror they'd use to look in her mouth.
She and her bear were very happy as she entered the office. She enjoyed playing with the toys and looking around at the scenery.

They then called her back to the chair. They had 4 kid-sized chairs in one big room, which is where they started her out. She was somewhat reluctant but was soon coaxed to sit in the big chair and check out the cool fish scenery throughout the room.


The hygienist was really nice, and tried to be very calming by explaining each step of the process to Jenna before she did anything. Jenna was a very good listener, as you can see.

When the she began showing Jenna the vibrating toothbrush, that's when she freaked out! She started crying and wasn't calming down. So they took her to the "Quiet Room" (so the rest of the office could be quiet, I think!) I was so glad she did. She screamed and screamed throughout the cleaning process. You can't quite get a feel for it in this picture, but, trust me, she was! The sunglasses they gave her were hiding her tears.

But she survived and even told the hygienist and dentist she'd come back to see them. By the way, they said her teeth look great, and she had NO CAVITIES! : )

Naptime

This afternoon, Jenna put all of her "friends" down for naptime in her room earlier today, and I thought I'd share a picture of it. She laid each one down individually, covered them with a blanket, then patted them for a minute to help them fall asleep. So cute!

Our Little Pizza Chef

We've recently been making semi-homemade pizzas, and Jenna's enjoying making her own using tortilla shells. As you can see, she does a great job! She really likes sampling the turkey pepperoni, and she's actually been eating the pizza which she's never done before!

Libble Dit

Jenna has started saying a very cute phrase: "libble dit" instead of "little bit." It's very cute...and timely since that is the name we've given to her soon-to-be sibling. Yes, we're expecting another little one on March 24, 2010. We're very excited!

We've been trying to prepare Jenna for this new arrival well in advance. She knows that Libble Dit lives in mommy's belly. The other morning I told Jenna to say good morning to him/her, so she said, "Good morning, Libble Dit. I love you!" We think she'll make a great big sister--she loves to play with dolls and stuffed animals and she loves to help mommy!

Here are some pictures of the little one at 7 wks, 2 days gestation. Our doctor's office is great in that they do LOTS of ultrasounds, so they'll be many more to come.

CRL=Crown to Rump Length (1.14 cm)

FHR=Fetal Heart Rate (145 bpm)

This isn't the head, but rather the yolk sac.
It will disappear before my next visit in 4 wks.

Scrapbooking with Mommy

Jenna found some glitter flower stickers in my scrapbooking supplies, so she decided to scrap her own page. I'm trying to catch up on my WAY BEHIND scrapbooks, so I definitely appreciated her interest in "helping me." I was able to get a lot done while she was preoccupied with her page. When she finished, she held it up and said, "Look at how cute!" Her expressions these days just crack me up!
