Jenna and Hondo Update

After a week of being sick, Jenna was back to her happy and playful self. She is learning very fast and is picking things up quickly. She loves her jumperoo - thank you Grandma & Grandpa!!!!!! There are a couple of animals hanging above her and when I say "Where is the bird?" Jenna immediately looks up at the bird. I have been repeating animals and animal sounds to her everyday so I guess it is working. She has yet to master crawling, but we are certainly in no rush :) When she stands assisted, she puts her full weight on her feet. Speaking of feet, she has learned to use hers quite well. For instance, when she is laying on her back and wants a toy, she will pick it up with her feet, bring it over her stomach and grab the toy with her hands.

On Wednesday, I left Jenna with our housekeeper for the first time so I could attend an Embassy event where Ken spoke. She did real well with Karla and I feel comfortable leaving Jenna with her in the future. Since we returned from the states I have watched Jenna's interaction with Karla and she is always happy and smiling at her so it gave me more confidence.

Last week, I started taking yoga with a few friends once a week (which has been wonderful for my sanity). I bring the housekeeper with us and she watches Jenna. The great part is my friend, Pilar, brings her son and nanny so Jenna get's a play day with her buddy Joaquin. So it is a win-win situation :)

As for Honduras, we are still limited to travel within the city. Ken continues to stay very busy. Despite the late nights, Ken manages to spend time with Jenna and I. It is our hope that our travel plans to El Salvador next month will not be cancelled. It will be a nice little break and change of scenery. However, as I write this, Zelaya has just crossed the Nicaraguan border into Honduras so there will be more info to come............
