Jenna is doing all kinds of new things I thought I should probably write about it. She seems to be going through an independent streak with a side of clinginess. I know those are opposite things but this child is doing both. She has decided she doesn't like eating off a spoon. I am having to come up with finger food ideas rather quickly. So she has been experiencing new foods this week. Her main staples have been sweet potatoes and apple sauce. This week we have tried scrambled egg yolks, black beans and yogurt. Everything has been a hit. With the finger eating I did puree the black beans but I spread the puree on Ritz crackers and she loves it. The whole deal is very messy but at least she is eating again. The yogurt she did eat off a spoon but not the beans. I wasn't sure she was going to eat the scrambled egg but when I stopped watching her and did the dishes I saw her eating them. And to top everything off she likes water! Not juice but water. She usually has water with her dinner.
As for the clingy part, she wants to be held a lot! Bedtime is becoming interesting as well. She will wake in the middle of the night and be tired and will sleep in my arms but the minute I put her in her crib she is wide awake and pops back up. I have been rather tired in the middle of the night and have caved to this and let her sleep with us. However it is becoming a problem now so I will have to fight my urge to sleep and make sure Jenna is sleeping in her crib.
So that is our little girl.....I almost forgot Jenna is also trying to stand on her own. She has had several seconds of standing without support. It is rather amazing to see.
Well the Christmas season can start for the Shipp family tomorrow! We are getting a tree on Saturday and the decorations will go up! I'm looking forward to it.
