I promise I’m not a bad momma and I did give sponge baths the first 6 weeks of Jenna’s life – I just didn’t take pictures necessarily. Since her umbilical cord didn’t come off until that 6 week mark, she hadn’t taken a full blown bath until last week. Oh man, does she love the water! She loved looking at herself in the mirror and moving around. Hunter helped give her a bath this weekend too – so much fun. We take baths pretty often now since the poor little girl keeps throwing up all over herself. (And I’m working on my video making abilities, so I’ve put a song into this one. I hope it works because I LOVE this song.)
Jenna also started smiling last week. Sometimes its a random smile, but I can usually get her to do it if I tickle her face (aka poke her in different places while making funny sounds). This usually instigates Hunter wanting me to do the same to him, which is actually what we used to do when he was this age to get him to smile on command. :) Capturing a picture of her smile in its full splendor has been a little tricky though. This is the best I’ve done so far.
We also ventured out to church yesterday, so Jenna had her first visit to the church nursery. I’m guessing most folks take their newborns into the sanctuary with them based on the reaction of the lady up front when I said Jenna was only 7 weeks old, but I figure I was in the nursery at 2 weeks old, so my daughter can go before 3 months (which is apparently what is typical). And would you believe they didn’t break her??? They may have kissed her a zillion times, but no harm done. And Hunter moved up to the 2-year-old class. We missed promotion Sunday in August, but he went to his new class with no trouble and I believe got to wear a firefighter’s hat, so he was a happy camper when we picked him up. We managed to get them together in some pictures once we got home and got some food into their tummies.
I like this last one best because it looks like Jenna was telling Hunter a story or something that was keeping his attention, when in fact, I just told him to look at her. LOL!

What cute sibling pictures! They turned out so perfect! I see a lot of baby Hunter in Jenna's face. Especially that little first smile pic. Precious!
