Growth Update

Just a little update on how Jackie is doing. We had our four month check up on the 10 and Jackie continues to impress. She now weighs a mighty 13 lbs 6.8 oz and is 2' 1" tall. She is measured in feet now, which is so cute . But it also reminds me of how quickly she is growing. And Jackie has been cleared for solid foods! So as soon as we make it to the store for rice cereal we will have even more photos and video of cute Jackie faces. I'm sure she won't let her adoring audience down with her first experience with food.

On a similar note, we let Jackie drink out of a cup on Wed. She had a little cold water to help soothe her teething gums and it was fun to watch her experience that first. She had not had plain water before then and she was a little confused by it. She seemed far more interested in gnawing on the rim of the cup than on what was inside of it. But Jackie definitely likes holding onto the cup handles. We will try to get the video up soon.

That is about all for now.

Fun with Joanna and the Wii

Jackie and Tiffany spent Labor day weekend with Aunt Joanna from Texas. Jackie enjoyed playing the Wii all weekend with Joanna. She especially likes playing Wii Sports and Donkey Kong, but Tiffany needs to watch out for glasses when playing because she smashed one while bowling. It was the first real Wii accident, and hopefully the only Wii accident we will have.

In other news Tiffany and Jackie will be heading to TX on September 22 to stay for just over a week. Don will be joining us the following weekend.

Tummy Time!

Jacqueline has been having tummy time lately and she continues to show us how smart she is. She is an amazing floor climber and is working on making her legs even stronger. She has learned to turn her body in a circle like the hands of a clock; her head stays fairly stationary while her feet and legs do all the turning. She can also lift her head 45 degrees and turn it from side to side. She is just amazing! And if she learns to lift her upper body with her arms then she will be crawling in no time; she has the leg part all worked out! We'll keep you updated about all of Jackie's wonderful feats.
