20 weeks old

The stage of grabbing things out of our hands has begun! So has the teething and Jessyka is not liking it one bit. Jessyka is already wanting to be involved in all that we do. She either watches us from her bouncy chair or walker and sometimes from our lap (like now... she is mesmerized by the sound of the keyboard and my hands moving on it).

New things learned would be holding her bottle more frequently, sticking out her tongue and blowing raspberries. She also got new shoes for her time in the walker.

First time in her walker

Yummy!

Nap time with daddy

She finally accepted the ducky being in her bath tub after she gummed him a little while.

18 weeks old

Jessyka received a few new items this week. She got a booster seat and a walker. She is in the fast lane to discovering new things. She hasn't actually gotten to sit with us at dinner time yet since she is normally asleep but she loves to sit in it while mom is doing chores in the kitchen. Jessyka got a walker a few days ago and is already on the move. She pushes herself backwards and laughs! She is just barely long enough to reach her tippie toes to the floor. She even got to spend some time in the garage with us when mommy and daddy were playing with power tools. Okay, maybe dad was actually using the power tools and MOM was the one playing but she was out there with us none the less.

We had our 4 month check up this month which consisted of two shots also. Jessyka always gets sick whenever she gets shots so she hasn't been feeling too good since then. Lots of love, games and baby Tylenol as prescribed have been getting her through!

Jessyka is now: 16lbs, 4 oz, 26in long!!! She is right on schedule! :) The Dr had us start the rice cereal a few weeks ago and Jess is doing very good with it. Last night when mom and dad were having a snack, we noticed that Jess was imitating us chewing. We figured we would try to give her some of her rice cereal from a bowl (for the first time). Mom, Dad and Baby had a blast! She ate every bit of it that we spooned in her mouth. Surprisingly we have a very clean baby. None of it came back out of her mouth! She made funny faces but seemed to enjoy it.
