A night with no spit up on my clothes!!!




Here's a picture from a wedding Jeb and I went to this Saturday. Jeb's parents came in town to watch Jenna for the night. It was fun to be out without Jenna but there were all these little girls at the reception that made me miss Jenna. I've been trying to get Jenna to take a bottle for the past week and she refuses. If anyone has any ideas or tips, PLEASE let me know!!! I'm desperate! I keep picturing myself going up to Jenna's kindergarten to breast feed her because she is so stubborn!

PS- I just chopped off all my hair. I pretty much have a mom hair cut now!

Jenna's First Shave!

Before the appointment
After the appointment

Jenna goes every 2 weeks to the "helmet shop" to get her head measured and her helmet adjusted. I kept asking the guy to shave the front of the helmet. I'm constantly cleaning carrots and sweet potatoes off the sides. Today they shaved part of the face so you can see more of her cheeks and forehead. Jeb says you can't tell a difference in the pictures, but to me, I can totally tell. What do you think?


Mullets, Rat Tails and Bald Spots!

Mullets Galore!

Rat Tail
Balding with a pony tail?!





I've been struggling what to do with Jenna's hair. It's totally a mullet and the helmet is causing her to go bald. When she has her helmet on, it flips out in the back and looks kinda like a tail. So do I cut her hair or not??

Work With Me People

Please excuse all my mistakes on my posts. I am still trying to figure out how to edit stuff. I have an upside picture and I hate the spacing but can't figure out how to change it!! AHHH! I need to take some blogging classes!



Jenna has adjusted really well to the helmet. It makes her little head get really sweaty (and kinda smelly-like dirty feet!). And it makes it really hard to kiss her head. My mom made a bunch of bows that Velcro on to match her outfits. I can't believe a month has already gone by! I'm so proud of Jenna. If I had to wear that thing on my head 23 hours a day, I would throw a fit!

Helmet Head




I have a feeling I am not the only one that is obsessed with looking at the Steece Quad's website. When they recently got their cranial bands, I thought, "oh, how sad" and "what a nightmare."

About a week later, Jenna's pediatrician was concerned with the shape of her head and referred us to a neurologist. She told us that Jenna would need a helmet to fix her flat head and since then, quite a journey has begun! Here are some pics of Jenna being fitted for the helmet.

Twist My Arm


OK- I promise, this is for real this time. I have started to feel guilty because I am totally obsessed with reading other people's blogs but have only posted ONCE on my own. So starting today, I promise to be more dedicated. I feel like my life is not that exciting but Jenna does make it more fun.
I'm not much of a writer so I think I'll stick with more pictures. Here is a favorite picture of Jenna. I just walked in the room and she was quietly reading to herself. She's so advanced!! :)
