Who does Jentri look like????

September Already?

I am so incredibly bad at this! I really can't believe that it's September already, and our little Jentri Ann is SIX MONTHS old! She's doing so many things that every day I just think, "when did she get so old?" or "when did she learn to do that?" I know, six whole months isn't really very old in the scheme of things, but time has really flown by!

I'm amazed at how almost every little thing she does makes me so happy and excited. When Jake comes home from work I'll tell him a huge slew of things she did during the day. Simple things like sucking on her toes while making cooing noises, sitting up for longer than she did the day before, holding her bottle by herself for a few seconds, or sticking out her tongue and "talking." I just eat this stuff up! It's so fun to watch her grow and try new things, as simple as they may be.

She's such a happy little girl, and most of the time it makes me forget all the stupid stuff I stress over. She's so curious, active, and busy, even at such a young age. I feel so lucky to have her! I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but she's so darn CUTE!

She went to her first "Princess Party" for cousin Brynlee this week, and got to dress up as Snow White. Also, Daddy Jake let her eat her first chocolate cupcake. I wasn't there unfortunately, otherwise I would have tried to advise him against it, but apparently she loved it. And we haven't had any adverse effects other than a few crumbs in her diaper and frosting in her hair. :)

Life for Jake and I is still the same old routine. Jake's getting more and more involved at his job, which he loves, so I can't complain there. As for me, I'm just "chillin' like a villain" being a stay at home mom. Which of course keeps me pretty busy. I am exploring the possibility of substitute teaching one day a week, but haven't really gotten around to doing anything with it, so we'll see.

I am still open to suggestions for books to read in our ward book club, if anyone has any. Thanks, Em, for the recommendation for "The Five Love Languages." Sounds like a good one! It's on my list!

Well, that's all for now I guess :) I added some links to family and friends' blogs, but didn't ask permission on any of them. I won't be offended if you don't want it on here, just let me know :) Have a lovely day!
