My Favorite Things

Jenna is growing so fast! She is such a sweet, pure, happy little girl. She smiles so much! And when she smiles, her eyes totally light up! Even before she smiled with her mouth, she would smile with her eyes. She has really big, bright eyes, and super long, dark, beautiful eyelashes. She is such a beautiful little girl! She is so sweet and makes me so happy! Here are some more of my favorite things about her:

-When she was a newborn, she would peek at us with one eye open

-She likes to cross her legs like a little lady

-When she is not swaddled, she sleeps with both of her arms up over her head.

-When she sleeps in someone's arms or over their shoulder, she has her hands posed against her face. She will rest her chin in her fist or hold her hands together or fold her arms and rest her cheek on them. It is so cute!

-She is an amazing night time sleeper!

-Sometimes when I ask her questions, she nods or shakes her head. I'm sure it is not intentional but it is sure impressive!

-She has always been very alert and very curious/concerned. She loves to look around, is very good at focusing, and often furrows her eyebrows like she is concerned about something.

-She has been very patient with my inconsistency as I have been learning how to take care of a baby. We are working on establishing a consistent woutine now though.

-Easily entertained. Does not cry unless she really needs something. Likes to play and look at just about anything

-She likes to make spit bubbles and play with her tongue

-Her coos are the cutest thing I have ever heard

-She loves to look at her daddy! Whenever he is around she just stares athime and follows him with her eyes until he is out of the room. When she was really little, she started making eye contact with him way before she would do it with me.

-She is very sweet and cuddly.

Yay

Similac it is. Jenna seems to be feeling much better! :)

Jenna's 8 Week Stats

Height and Weight: 50th percentile
Head Circumference: 38th percentile

For those of you that have been asking about her stats. Here they are. :) We love our little angel so much. She has been such a trooper. We have had such a hard time with feeding her. First we had to start supplementing formula becuase she was losing weight. Then we had to switch from milk based formula to soy, than back to milk, then back to soy, because of gastro intestinal issues. Then I ran out of my milk and had to go completely to formula. Then we switched from Similac to a store brand because the Doctor and loved ones had good experiences that way and advised us too. And now she has super large, and hard stools that she goes through so much pain to pass. My poor little girl has been such a trooper. We are going to switch her back to Similac and hopefully her poor little system will finally regulate. Maybe I can get my milk back, I don't know. Has anyone had issues with this. Do you know of any natural supplements or anything that might help? Oh, I hope we can get her feeling all better soon.
