Jessna is 5 months old!

Jessna is now 5 months old and she's a chunky monkey!  She still fusses at times, but not nearly as much.  Daddy affectionately calls her "Goober Snort!"

Jessna and Daddy

Well, Sibling Love has struck both of my little ones.  Shrade just loves Jessna and is always asking when she will walk and talk.  He talks her and says, "Hi, little Jessna!"  in a very high pitched voice.  She grins from ear to ear.

My precious babies

Here is a recent video of Shrade "reading" to Jessna.  She doesn't smile, but she is completely enthralled with her brother.


I just love having two kids, but it's a lot more work and I don't get to do as much with either of them like I did with Shrade. So basically I do things with Shrade and Jessna tags along!

This looks fun!

Night, night!  This is exactly how I put her to sleep- wide eyed, swaddle with paci.

Just in case you are wondering...here is Shrade at 5 months.
