Jenna's 14 week pic!


Jenna's 14 week Jenna bear pic!
This picture just cracks me up. She makes that face a lot and I love how her arm is resting on the bear.
Anyway, this post is a bit more about me than her.
I'm starting to feel like I know exactly how to take care of her - what she needs etc....
*When she needs to burp, she gets really fidgety - moving her legs and neck and whimpering some. The best way to burp her is to bend her stomach in a sitting up position. I think JM started this, but now I do it just about every time.
*When she wakes up, most times it takes her a few minutes to fully wake up. This is exactly how I am. I don't talk much in the morning and I just need some time. JM is the exact opposite.
*When she starts to get tired, she gets cranky. Again, just like me. It's hard to explain how she is when she is tired, but I can always tell.
*Also, right before she falls asleep, she likes to put her arm above her head and make a fist. And if I lay her down for bed and she is still a bit fidgety, I give her the paci - if she takes it, then she is usually going straight to sleep.
*When she is tired, she also likes to be held and for me to walk around with her. That usually always stops the crying, but my legs get tired!
I think these are the major things right now. She is truly a sweet baby and I love spending every day with her. :)

Ahh. You've hit the groove. Doesn't it feel good to know what your baby needs? It's a feeling like no other!

(I love that expression too!)

Girl, you got it down!! Landon like to be burped by sitting in my lap. When he was really hard to burp I would lie him tummy down across my lap and pat his back and sometimes that would help if he couldn't get the burp out!! I love seeing pictures of her!! She is too cute!! Isn't it how funny how you can see personality traits of the parents that early. Tyler was always me and Landon is his daddy!!
