Welcome Home Sister Summerhays!

My sister Meghan got home from Brazil on Oct. 28th. We are so happy to have her home. Jenna LOVES her and it's like she's known her since she was born.

At Grandma and Papa's house waiting to go to the Airport to see Aunt Meghan!
("Rocka, Rocka" What Jenna says every time she sits down somewhere,
whether she is in a rocking chair or not!)

Robert and Eliza can't hold in their excitement!

Bathrobes and Pacifiers

I love Jenna in her bathrobe.
She's not always fond of wearing it, though.
She likes to open it to find her belly button. So funny!

Such an innocent looking face.
I wasn't doing anything, Mama!

Our landlords who live upstairs have often watched Jenna for us so we can run errands or go out on a date. One night after getting home from running errands and she had been upstairs, we found this in her diaper bag...

Jenna had been teething and my first reaction was "Oh my gosh! She bit it off!" I was worried that she'd swallowed the tip. Come to find out, the landlord's dog had taken it from Jenna and bit off the end. I was relieved!

Balloons

Jenna LOVED playing with the balloons she had from her birthday party. She got a kick out of having me pull down the balloons, hand them to her, and then let them go and watch them fly up to the ceiling. Hours of entertainment!

The cutest face in the world!
I'm biased I know!

Jenna's 1st Birthday

My baby has turned one! Where did the time go? I can't believe that one short year ago Jenna was born and joined our family. It's been so fun to watch her grow and learn. She is one smart cookie who amazes us everyday with what she catches on to. She has a small but continually growing vocabulary which consists of uh-oh, hi, mama, dada, daddy, dah (dog), woo woo (woof woof), cocka cocka (short for cock-a-doodle-doo), and baba. She is very vocal and is constantly making some kind of noise. She can also mimic a myriad of sounds that may be said to her. My favorite is the monkey sound. It's pretty dang cute!

On Jenna's birthday we threw a small family party at our place. We had yummy pulled pork sandwiches and a few different kinds of salads for lunch. (Thank you to those who brought food to share!) When all the guests had arrived and eaten Jenna opened her gifts (with help from mama) and then we ate cake. Simple, but fun.

Jenna is 1!
