Jenna bean, or Knee bean. Lately she has been a little sassy pants! But I guess I am sassy right back to her. Mainly because we are so much alike. (yes I said it) I love that she is a girly girl, though. She loves to put on sparkles, and even lets me do her pretties. I feel the most joy watching her grow and learn. She is a smarty pants. We are practicing letters and she loves to color. She loves to color so much that it has somehow made it onto the walls, chairs, her bench and some on the coloring pages.
Her favorite movie right now, Little rascals. I find her quoting the movie all the time. Her most common quote, "Dear Darla, I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You're the scuuumb between my toes. Love, Alf-Alfa." I recorded it but it won't let me post it here. She is so stinkin' cute. (that is why there are squiggly marks all over the back of the chair) I need to research how to get pen off of the chair!!
I would like to start writing the little things down that she says. So here is one for starters. After going to the doctor for Ethan, I decided to get Jenna the chicken pox vaccine. Sneak attacks are not the funnest way to get shots, but the most productive. After the shot one single tear ran down her cheek. She looks at me with the saddest face ever and says, "I have one rain drop on my cheek." I love that she relates similar things together. I hope she stays this imaginative always...
little love bug
See, we are alike....
rain drop sad :(
Ethaners...or Boogity bum, Boogy bummers (or even biggity bum). Yes, he has an official nickname now! The kids tend to call him Efan. He has such a cute little personality. Walking is his new found love, and getting into everything is right along there with it. Actually, I think walking may be a close second because the kid is into EVERYTHING! He shakes his head 'no' a lot and he always has a smile to go along with it.
His chompers are getting big in the front. No sign of more quite yet. He is enjoying the four that he has, eating everything he can get ahold of. And I mean everything. It is as if he is saying to me, "I just needed to taste it to see if it was okay, Mama." The nerf darts are his favorite.
Just yesterday we took him in for an MRI. They had to sedate him and the test took an hour. Well, the whole experience was a little longer than expected because they had a brand new computer system! He was such a trooper :) His nurse Kierstyn was the best and stuck with him and looked out for him the whole time. She even got the IV in with just one try! (thank goodness there, because I was a little nauseated while it was happening). He amazes me every day. Such a tough little buddy. No sad tears while they put in the IV and when he had his blood drawn at his last appointment, he sat and smiled at the nurses. I would be on the floor passed out! We are still waiting for the results. (but the results from his blessing prior were good, so I just need to trust and have faith)
