Happy Easter!

Jenna in her Easter dress.

We are grateful for the Atonement
and the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior.
Happy Easter to all!

Jenna

Jenna wearing a dress that I wore when I was her age. She wore it her first time at church.

These are pics of Jenna rolling over from her stomach to her back and then back onto her stomach. I absolutely love her chubba legs!

This is a video of us trying to get Jenna to roll over. Unfortunately she only wanted to eat her toes. It's still cute!

Jenna enjoying her baby food!

Austin and I were getting ready so we could go run some errands. I had laid Jenna on our bed with a toy so she'd be happy. We had been in the bathroom and came back into our room to find Jenna just chillin' with her feet crossed. We both cracked up and had to get a picture of it.

Love those little feet!

The cutest little cow we know!

She really is a "Cow"ley!

Funny Of The Day...

So I love teaching 1st Graders. They say the funniest things. I mentioned something about one of my sisters.

Student #1: You have a sister!
Me: I have 4 sisters. And 4 brothers.
A bunch of students: That's 8 kids! You have 8 kids in your family? (I'm so glad they could figure out 4+4 was 8!)
Student #2: With Mrs. Cowley that's 9 kids. (And then add one more to get 9!)
Student #1: 9 kids! Your mom had 9 kids! She should have a TV show!

It totally cracked me up!

She has a tooth!

Jenna got her first tooth yesterday! I can't believe it! She's only 5 months old! Austin thought she might be teething because she has been going to town chewing on her pacifier. I dismissed it because she wasn't overly fussy and she didn't get a fever. Yesterday morning when Austin mentioned it, I put my finger in her mouth to check, but felt nothing. I did look at her gums and they did seem a little red and slightly swollen, but still I didn't think she was. Then, yesterday afternoon I was feeding her some Gerber puffs and she spit one out. I put it on my finger and stuck it back in her mouth. I used her bottoms gums to scrape off the puff and that's when I felt the little ridges of a tooth! It is the bottom front one on the right side. I'm sure the one next to it won't be far behind! Man, if all her teeth come in this easy teething will be a cinch!

Cross Country Skiing

At the end of January Austin went up to Mapledell Scout Camp to go cross country skiing with his 11 year old scouts. The over-nighter was cold, but fun. It was Austin's first time cross country skiing. He had a great time! It was definitely a workout!

5 months old!

It's hard to see, but Jenna has baby rice cereal all over her face. We started her on the cereal to help keep her tummy full throughout the night because she started waking up earlier in the morning. She didn't like it too much the first couple times, but now gobbles it down!

At her 4 month check-up she was 13 lbs. 10 oz. and 24 1/2 in. long. She ended up with a virus this last weekend and we went to the doctor to make sure it wasn't strep (it wasn't). She gained a whole pound in the last month! She is now 14 lbs. 10 oz! I can't believe how much she has grown and that it has been 5 months!

Giggles

Jenna is now laughing and it is the best sound in the world!
Here is a video of some of her giggles.
