Tub Time

Jenna thoroughly enjoys taking a bath. It is one of her favorite things to do at the end of the day. I have to admit that in our small little apartment giving her a bath was not my favorite thing. It was quite the process.

BEFORE: Get the baby tub out. Fill it up in the shower with warm water. Bathe Jenna in the baby tub sitting in the shower. Get very wet in process. Dump water out of baby tub. Turn over and let dry. Take out before Austin or I shower. Store on the stairs in the hall.

Happy, but cramped.

The best and cheapest tub toys!

NOW: Fill bathtub. Bathe Jenna. Drain bathtub. SO MUCH EASIER!!

It is amazing how you take a tub for granted until you don't have one!

So much room to play!

One happy girl!
(One happy mama too!)

Bath time

Jenna LOVES her baths! Because of the smallness of the place we live we have had to put her bathtub on the kitchen table. She knows that when I lay her down next to the tub that it's bath time! She gets the biggest smile on her face and is happy throughout her bath.

Unfortunately now she is too long to lay down in her bathtub. There is a little bump in the middle of the tub where it snaps together and her bum now hangs over it. I can't imagine that it's very comfy. We've started putting her in the shower with Austin. She hasn't liked it at all and cries every time we put her in. We are making some progress in that she didn't cry last night . As soon as she is done and I've wrapped her in her towel she is as happy as a clam! And breaks out into a huge smile. I'm sure she's thinking, "Thanks Mom for saving me!"

2 weeks old

I can't believe Jenna is 2 weeks old already. The time has flown by! But, then again it also feels like an eternity! There have been many sleepless nights. My goal is to get Jenna's days and nights figured out by the time I go back work. I've started to give her a bath at night. It seems to help her sleep better. I really hope we can get it figured out. :o)
Jenna is such a good little baby. She doesn't fuss much and when she is awake she is very wide eyed and alert. We love her lots! I look at her and can't think of life without her.
She had her 2 week check up today. She is now 8lbs. 2oz. and 22 in. long. Her length puts her in the 94th percentile for her age! I want her to stay little for awhile, but can't wait for the next stages in her life. Austin can't wait until she is more responsive and playful. I can wait, but look forward to it too.

Here are some pictures from the last 2 weeks. Enjoy!

Happy it's over!
Thanks Grandma for giving me a bath!

Jenna loves to tuck her feet up underneath her.
It's how she was inside me.
It looks like she doesn't even have legs or feet in this pic.

Deep in thought as she sleeps.
