Wow. It's been a while since I posted. You can take that as a sign that it's been quite busy! Being a dad is a lot tougher than I thought, but, I'menjoying every minute of it. Yes, even those late night feedings. She's such a little angle when she looks up at you, half asleep and gives you a smile.

Jeannette has started smiling, and not just when she has gas! It's very cute, and I never seem to have my camera handy when she does. She's also discovered she has hands and that they are good to suck on. She continues to work on her crawling techniques but, obviously, she is still a little young to actually crawl, but, she can hold her head up quite well and enjoys looking around at what is going on around her.



Recently, my mom came out to visit with her first grand-daughter. Grandma was obviously quite excited and enchanted with Jeannette. She could only stay a week, but, she knows she's welcome back at any time.

We had planned on having Jeannette baptised on the 5th, coincidentally while Grandma was out, but her Godfather had several family/personal emergencies hit him all at once so we had to push it back. We don't have a date yet, but it will be soon as Jeannette is growing so fast she won't fit in the baptism dress that Grandma made for her for much longer!

Jeannette had her second doctor's visit as well. She's in great health and she's up to 11 lbs 8 ozs and 22" so, she's really been working hard at growing.
