Singing Along

We love Jenna SOOOOO much! We have been so blessed to have her come into our lives. She is so sweet, smiley, and fun! She is a great eater, a great sleeper, she makes everybody around her SO happy! She is growing and developing terrifically! It is so fun to watch her! She is really easy going, and when she does get upset, it is really easy to calm her down. I love being able ti recognize her preferences and do things the way she likes. It makes me so happy to make her happy. She is smart, and healthy! I LOVE being her mommy! I was so meant to do this!!! There is a video of her singing along with Daddy and then with her favorite puppy that I want to post, and I know I uploaded it but now I can't find it. :( I will try to find it and post it soon. SO cute!

Jenna's 4 month stats

Well The Doctor said Jenna is perfect! She said she wishes she could take us around to her other patients and show them a good example of how to take care of a baby. She makes us feel good. :)Jenna is 12 lbs 13 oz and 25 in. tall! She is just below the 50th percentile for weight, 75th for height and 50th for head circumference. She is a very well proportioned little girl. :)

Oh yeah, and she has her first tooth already! It has broken through, and next to it I have seen another little white spec. I can't believe she's teething already! She is handling it very well though. :) She's such a sweet little thing.

I love her name

For some reason, I have been thinking about Jenna's name a lot lately. When I was pregnant, I kind of stressed about names because I wanted to give our baby a name that I would love calling her and that would totally fit. And not something that would wear off on me. When we saw Jenna and named her Jenna Hope it felt right. And when I think about her name now, I still LOVE it. It really does fit so well and just hearing, saying or thinking about it makes me so happy. We chose the name Jenna because every Jenna I have ever met was always so nice and so cute. So those are the attributes I associated the name with. I still remember a girl I knew in 3rd grade named Jenna. I had never heard that name before and I thought it was really pretty, and I thought she was pretty and really nice. I kind of decided then that I was going to name one of my daughter's Jenna. :)

We gave her the middle name of Hope because I have always really liked the virtue of Hope, and its definition. We had also been exercising a lot of Hope during my pregnancy with many life changing decisions. The Lord guided us to move to Utah in June with no job, and a baby on the way. And we did it. And everything has worked out beautifully. We also exercised a lot of Hope that we would find a house to provide for Jenna and keep her warm and safe. That came true also. And we Hoped that the pregnancy, labor, and delivery would go naturally and well and that Jenna would be happy, healthy and strong. We received everything we Hoped for and more. Jenna is way better than we could have ever Hoped for. She is amazing! We felt that the name Jenna Hope fit perfectly, and it does. We think she will be an example of Hope, expecting good things to happen throughout her life, and will receive those blessings she Hopes from the Lord. It feels really good to have given her a name that means so much. I am very happy with our decision. I hope we can give the rest of our kids such meaningful names too. :)
We love our little Jenna Hope Hansen.
