Jade is Three Months Old

August 3-9th, 2008: This week Jade turned 3 months old on Tuesday. She looks more and more like her dad everyday. She has light hair with a redish tint. Her eyelashes are long and lushious just like her dad's, and her lower half...including her crack...are just like Aaron's. We laugh because she is going to have short, stalky legs with lego blocks for feet. Her feet are so fat we can't get shoes on her, even a larger size doesn't even work. She also has the squishiest ears, just like Aaron, and she likes to play with her ears when she is tired.


This last week was a couple of firsts for Jade, one being she has learned to hold her own bottle. She needs a little help every once and a while but for the most part she does a great job. I think I am the most excited about this great accomplishment because that means she is one step closer to being hands free. I didn't realize how much time I really spent holding Jade while she drank a bottle, but now that I have the extra time...it's great!


Jade also had her first accident on Saturday. Aaron put her on the ottoman in her room for just a sec while he reached over to grab her blanket and she rolled off and onto the floor. Luckily she landed on a pillow and not directly on her face or she could have gotten pretty hurt. Aaron quickly scooped her up, she whimpered for a sec and then was back to smiling. Wheeww!!
This week was also Aaron's softball tournament. They ended up killing the team, winning by 17 points. It was a great game. My parents came up to watch Austin, Hudson and Aaron play and so after the game we all went up to the Porcupine Grill and Pub at the base of Cottonwood Canyon and shared some great nachos. Go Ro's Rangers!!!


On Friday, Jade and I went down to my mom's house and played. I was able to convince Aaron that Jade needed a new toy and so we bought this amazing exer-saucer. It has toys, lights, and music, plus she can sit in a seat and play with the toys, or you can pull some of the toys off and let her play on a mat or you can even pull the exer-saucer apart and make is stand up so that when she gets older she can walk around it. It's a great toy. We tried it out on Jade while at Grandma Gunn's house and she wasn't quite sure if she liked it. She still might be a little young for it but it won't take long before she is bouncing around and loving the toy.


Last but not least, this last Friday was the opening ceremonies for the Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Should be fun to watch!!!!
