The holidays have come and gone and I have been super slack once again. Jenna has been up to lots, but I feel like I am losing track of it all. Jenna started crawling in the middle of December - a few days after we realized she cut her first tooth on the bottom right. I had no idea she was even teething until I caught a glimpse of her tooth popping through the gums. At least I know it wasn't bothering her or keeping her up at night. The diaper rash on the other hand, was awful and now we know why. Claire was exactly the same with getting a horrible diaper rash right before cutting a tooth. But other than that, the girls are so different in their developmental milestones. Jenna sat up way earlier than Claire ever did and followed that up with crawling (do you remember that Claire NEVER crawled, only butt scooted across the floor?). Now Jenna is a crawling machine, getting into everything and putting everything in her mouth. She also started clapping and is making a whole lot more sounds - many of which sound like Mama and Dada although I don't think she has any clue what she is saying. At her 7.5 month check up for the flu shot, Jenna weighed in at 14lb, 2oz - 2.5 lbs less than Claire was at this point.
We were slow to get started on the food but she is now eating anything that is pureed. So far we have made sweet potato, squash, carrots, green beans, peas, pears, applesauce, and bananas. I think this weekend we might expand some more and see what else she can try - she is enjoying yogurt though, and Claire loves sharing her yogurt with Jenna. Making baby food is so easy and definitely cheaper than buying it. Daycare game me a thumbs up for making it :-) We tried the Puffs but Jenna does not like the consistency at all.
Jenna started her New Years off with a bang - literally! On New Years Day Claire, Jenna, and I were playing on the bed and next thing I know Dan was yelling an expletive as Jenna was falling off the bed. Lucky for us she only ended up with a tiny scratch/cut on her head and only cried for a few minutes, but it certainly scared us. The next day she got out of her Bumbo seat and crashed onto the hard wood again this time landing on her cheek. I'm sure daycare was happy to have her back in their care ;-)
Next Saturday we are off to Puerto Rico for a week of fun in the sun - and more family pictures!
final update maybe?

Both the girls had horrible rashes (Charlotte's was bleeding) when they cut their first teeth. We also had a scare yesterday when Charlotte almost fell down the stairs. Glad Jenna is ok!
