WARNING!! Proud mother alert. I fully intend to brag shamelessly here.
Yesterday Jenna turned 1! I can't believe how the time has flown. So today, I want to record a little about her. She was born on Oct 9, 2008. She was so eager to come into this world, she tried to come 7½ weeks early and put me on bed rest for 2 weeks. What a challenge that was with Paul working 6 days a week and 3 other young children, but we all pitched in and made it work. We were in and out of the hospital until she was born exactly 3 weeks early. It was surprising how big, strong, and healthy she was. She has been early and running ever since. She took her first steps at 10 months, 9 days, and was running two weeks later. She learned to climb over the barrier we had on the stairs before she was 11 months old and so now she is a pro at getting up and down the stairs.
She loves to eat, especially finger foods she can feed herself. Among her favorites are roasted chicken, peaches, apples, corn, and grapes (obviously cut into small pieces). Up until this point she has been too busy to talk to us much. She says Mama, Dada, Bi (binkey) and makes a few other noises that we have figured out the meaning of. We half expect her to break out into complete sentences one of these days since she hasn't done anything else by halves.
She is always watching everything around her intently and taking it all in. She works really hard to try to keep up with her brothers and sister.
