Dear Jenna,

Dear Jenna,

You are now 4 years old! I cannot believe it, I often find myself looking at you in awe that you're my daughter. You're so smart, beautiful, funny, dramatic, creative, outgoing, and so much more. I'm so proud of you and the little person you are becoming. You make me laugh on a daily basis and say the funniest things. The things you come up with are so beyond your years at times.

You are the best big sister Grant could ever ask for. You love him so much, you are his protector, and biggest cheerleader. This is all true, unless he's spitting up on you, which he still does VERY often, then you say, "Grant, I am so frustrated by your spitting up all the time!"

I'm trying to bottle up all the love and cuddles you give your Dad and me. You're so emotional and loving. In fact, for your birthday wish you told us you wished that you family could stay together forever! How sweet honey!

You had your four year doctor appointment and are still in the 90th percentile for height and weight. It's only a matter of time before you will be taller than me. Your weight is 40.5 pounds, and your height is 41.5 inches.

In the past few months you've grown up so much! Here are some pictures of what you've been up to.



A flower girl in Uncle Brent and Aunt Christie's wedding!



You were so excited to wear your wedding dress and get your hair done.




You and the bride. You thought she was a princess and when they were married you asked if Uncle Brent was going to turn into a handsome prince.



Getting ready!




Halloween - my little Cinderella!



You and Grant at school before the Halloween parade. Grant was not loving his costume at all.




You, Bella, and Logan. There were a lot of princesses that day!



Our pumpkins, you had lots of fun carving and eating the seeds.



Your birthday party with your friends at Tumble Time.



Just a little dramatic while everyone was singing Happy Birthday!

Jumpin' Jenna

Jenna has been taking a gymnastics class now for about a month. She LOVES it. She can't wait for Tuesday nights. Of course, you can imagine, a class of 10 kids ages 2-3.5, it's a crazy time! Their desire to do whatever they want and their lack of awareness of others often leads to collisions at top running speeds. There seems to always be tears from at least a couple rambunctious kids. The coaches really try to structure it and it gets a little better every week. Her favorite is the long bouncy mat, but she tries everything. Here are a few shots from last night's class.



I love jumping the most! It is one of my favorite things to do!



Bars - I am getting better at them and will show you my big muscles after I lift myself up on them. I even did a flip on them with the help of one of my coaches! I got to ring the big cow bell because I did really well.



The balance beam is a work in progress. I can do it if I hold my mommy's hand.




Tumbling is fun too! I like to do somersaults a lot!
