It's been way too long since I've updated this! My bad. Well, the months of June and July have presented plenty of "firsts" for our little Jentri Ann. She was the life of the party at the Sederberg Reunion, and was so excited to meet Grandma and Grandpa Great.

She also met and had fun with her New York cousins Hannah, Megan, and Allison, accompanying them on their first trip to Hogle Zoo. She's started eating rice cereal, responded surprisingly well to the fireworks display at Murray Park, survived Snarr family pictures, went swimming in Grandma Price's pool, just to name a few.

She'll be 5 months next week, pretty crazy! At her 4 month checkup, the doctor called her "tall and thin" with a height of 25 inches, and weight of 13 lbs. 8 oz... Just 4 oz. more than her two month old cousin, Cade! We're pretty sure she gets her height from her mom, but as Uncle Luke said, "Yeah, she is almost as tall as her mom!" Well, take it for what it's worth I guess. :)

Nobody seems to believe me that she's a talker, but it's true! I woke up to her talking this morning in fact. She loves playing and talking with Daddy especially, and laughs up a storm whenever he's around. (She'll still laugh for me, but nowhere near as much) Her little giggle is so cute, and she makes all sorts of cute "talking" noises. She also seems to be partial to the Disney Channel, often fussing while we watch the news or anything else. She'll stop and tune in as soon as we change it back.

As for Jake and I, life is good! We love our house, neighborhood, and ward. We've just been called to teach the 6-7 year olds in primary, which is exciting. Although I think we need to ask more thought provoking questions in class because the kids seem to answer all questions with "Can I hold Jentri?" So, a work in progress I suppose.

I'm also working as the "Literacy Specialist" in our ward, a.k.a. "The Book Club Lady." Any suggestions for some good book club books, let me know.


I'll admit I feel a little out of sorts without the stress of preparing for the upcoming school year, but I'm glad I can stay home with my cute baby girl. I do get cabin fever every once in a while, but overall it's been a great experience. Jake has mentioned he'd like me to go back to teaching so he can get a truck, but I'm pretty sure he's kidding. At least he'd better be. :)

Well, I guess that's all for now. Hope all is well with all of you. We feel so blessed, and are grateful for all of you! Happy Saturday!

-Jake, Kate, and Jentri
