Jenna - 1 Month Old

We can't believe how much Jenna has changed in just over a month!  She is getting really big - luckily her newborn clothes fit, but not for long.  She is more active and it seems to focus more with her eyes.  She is such a joy, however mommy and daddy are trying to figure her routine at night :)  It appears around 9 pm she gets very fussy and FINALLY falls asleep around 12:30 am.  Although we did have a breakthrough last night.  She actually fell asleep around 9:30 and did not wake until 1:30 am.  So we will see what the coming weeks bring us.  Thankfully Ken took leave last week and things are obviously slow this week so it has not been too bad.  I have gotten some great advice from friends regarding "bedtime" so we will see what works for us.

Christmas was wonderful!  It was very quiet but we enjoyed watching Jenna looking at the lights and taking everything in.  Obviously she was not interested in opening presents, but mommy had fun doing that!  Thank you to all of our family and friends for all the X-mas cards and presents.  It was very special and Jenna is so loved!!!!!!!!

We took Jenna to the Embassy Health Unit yesterday to get her second HEP B shot and her infant screen test for metabolic disease.  She did pretty good with the HEP B shot, but it about broke my heart when the heal of her foot not only had to get pricked once, but twice.  The doctor had to squeeze her skin to get droplets of blood to fill 3 small circles on a sheet of paper. After the ordeal, Jenna stopped crying immediately and seemed to be okay.  She is a tough chick!

The funny part about yesterday happened in the morning when Ken and I were changing her.  Jenna was making a lot of sounds and Ken got really excited because he thought she said her first word............it sounded a lot like "Goo".  It was real cute, but I think we have some time before she starts using words, but who knows, anything is possible :)
