At 2 weeks:
She is such a good sleeper. She loves her sleep just like her daddy. She only wakes up once or twice during the night and we've been going to bed around 10 - 10:30.
She likes to hold onto my finger while nursing.
Definitely does not like to have her diaper changed.
looks all around, seems very alert
only gets the paci at night and only as a last resort. Some nights she goes straight to sleep and we don't have to worry with it.
loves going for car rides
seems very easy-going and laid back

At 4 weeks, Jenna's personality hasn't changed much since the 2 week post. She is still a good, sweet, baby.

She has experienced a couple of new firsts so I will share those:

*First bottle (due to my being in the hospital)
*First real bath - seems to love baths, doesn't cry at all. Maybe she'll be a water baby like me. :)
*First real outings
*followed the rattle with her eyes and held on to the rattle by herself

**She is more alert, starting to notice more and staring more intently on objects. She likes to watch JM's dot screensaver on his computer and I even put on a little bit of baby Einstein and she watched some of it too.
**She had her very first road trip to AR and did extremely well for being in the car ALL day.
**Sometimes when she starts crying now, I put her on top of the dryer and she loves it. And yes, I put a blanket or something soft on top and I stand there with her the whole time.
**I think she may have started to try to smile today - and a real smile, not gas. I tickled her cheek and told her to smile for the camera and I just wasn't fast enough with the camera to get it.

Jenna's 8 weeks today! Time is flying by!
Not much new to report -
*starting to gain better control of her neck/head.
*starting to try to smile
*loves to be cuddled, sometimes she has to be cuddled before going to sleep
*absolutely loves her nighttime baths now
*stays awake longer during the day now

At 10 weeks, here are the latest happenings in Jenna's world:
she likes to suck on her hand. (This is cute now, but I hope she doesn't always do this.)
starting to smile a lot more. (Her smiles really make my day.)
trying to babble some. (also cute, and I wonder if she'll be a talker like JM or more on the shy side like me?)
almost 11 lbs, and almost starting to outgrow her 0-3 clothes (I'm ready to put her in her new cute 3-6 stuff.)

At 12 weeks:
*she really loves to suck on her hand. I'm wondering if this is what I get for not using the paci more - Should I do anything about it? I don't want her to be a thumb sucker.
*she has a completely unpredicatble sleep schedule that is driving me crazy! She only gets up once during the night and we've made it 3 nights without getting up at all! Her naps are really unpredicatble. I'd love for her to be on a schedule.
*She laughs and smiles a lot. She smiles whenever I come to pick her up and that just always gets to me.
*She loves to be held all the time. She doesn't like for me to be out of her sight. This makes it really hard for me to get things done. I know, I really need to figure out how to use my ergo carrier!
*now wearing 3-6 months clothes! So excited about this!

At 14 weeks:

*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!

At 18 weeks (just over 4 mos. now)
*She is sleeping longer through the night, but I don't think we're 100% all the way there. (She woke up the last 2 nights...NOT fun!) I realized I was making her overtired by keeping her up when she was sleepy. I'm now reading the Healthy habits of sleep, happy child book.
*Pulls my hair at every chance she's near it.
*becoming a lot more animated - smiles at JM when he comes home
*loves to look around and take everything in
*still seems very calm and easy-going.

At 20 weeks (almost 5 months), Jenna:

*likes to hold onto tags and ribbons
*likes to try to grab things that are beside her
*likes to hold onto her feet
*isn't rolling over yet. We've tried "showing" her but no luck yet. I'm not worried about that though.
*would rather sit up than lay down
*still a very happy, calm and patient baby
