Happenings at the Jensens

So these last few months have been so fun but crazy! Dale and Barbara went into the MTC on Feb. 27th so we were able to go down to Richfield on the 25th to see them before they left. While we were there, we fed Adi her first solids! She loves them!

Adi's first time eating solid foods!

 We said goodbye (sort of) to grandma and grandpa Jensen sunday and they left monday.  That week was Jasons spring break so we stayed in Richfield on Monday and Tuesday and went bowling with Becca and Paul and their family and our friends Tyson and Bryanne and Michael and Cassie. It was so fun to see them! They are such great friends! Adi was so tired that she mainly just slept in her car seat the whole time.

On Wed. we headed to St. George. We met our friends Jared and Kelsey at Zions National Park and went on a couple of little hikes. It was so much fun and Adi loved being outside!

We had so much fun with Jared and Kelsey and Brielle

We then headed down to St. George and we all met up with Amanda and Joey and Taylor.  We ate at Pizza Factory then went to the house we had rented to hang out and play games. After getting the babies to sleep, we sat around and talked and played games.  It was so fun to be with friends and just get away!

We were supposed to stay there until friday but at 2:00 AM Adi woke up with croup! It was horrible!  She had that seal bark cough and couldn't breath well. It was so scary so the next morning, we packed up and left cause we didn't want the other babies to get it.  We called Becca's old pediatrics place and they were able to get us in but not until 12:00 so we went to the mall and walked around until her appointment. They gave her a steroid to put in her food for the next few days to open her airway which helped a ton. After the appointment we headed from sunny st. george back to snowy Richfield which was kind of a bummer. We stayed the night there and then headed home friday. Overall it was a great trip but it was so hard to see my baby girl so sick! I hate it when she doesn't feel well! Especially when she can't breathe!
After we got back, Jason started school again and is ridiculously busy as usual! We were able to take a trip to the zoo as a family though which was way fun! We got some fun pictures! While we were there, we put Adi up to the glass and this huge gorilla walks over and puts his face nose to nose with Adi's and just stares at her for like 10 minutes! It was hilarious. At first she didn't know what to think but then just loved staring at him too! I wish the pictures were better but her outfit was reflecting on the glass so they are hard to see but it was super cool. We also go to see a peacock dancing for a peahen with his feathers all spread out so that was super neat also! I love living so close to the zoo and being able to go whenever we want. I thought we'd get sick of it but the animals have so much personality and I love to just watch them.

"Mom, is this ok?"

Oh man!

We were also able to have Brielle over the other night and the two of them just sat and played and laughed at Kassi all night! It was so fun to babysit her. Kelsey is the one who babysits Adi while I'm at work so Adi and Brielle get along so well and just love to play! It's so fun to have such good friends!

 

We love Brielle too!

Overall it's been a great month and I just can't believe my baby will be six months next week! Where has time gone!!  She's so grown up and I'll post more about her six month facts next week!

Love my Jumparoo!

Love this smile!

5 months

Adi at five months! Love those carrots!

So since Adi will be six months next week, I figured I'd better post her 5 month post. I seriously can't believe time has gone by so fast! She's growing so quickly! We'll go to the Dr. on April 12th to see how much she really has grown but she's learning so much everyday!

Here are some facts about Adi at five months:

• She Loves anything with water; bath time and swimming
• She has rolled over once from belly to back and hasn't done it since
• She is eating solid foods now and at first had a really hard time digesting them so she had to have a suppository but is doing great now! We had to alternate prunes with her other foods every other night for a while but now we don't even have to do that.
• Mom wasn't producing enough milk to help her grow like she was supposed to so we have to mix mom's milk with formula (which was the only way she'd take formula at all for a while) and now she's getting chubby!!!
• She thinks Kassi is the funniest thing on earth and will randomly just start laughing at her
• She LOVES to give mom kisses!
• She saw grandma and grandpa off to Guatemala for their 18 month mission but gets to Skype with them often
• Hasn't been sleeping as well as she used to since she got croup while we were in St. George but is slowly getting back to sleeping through the night.

Loves to play with the remote (don't worry, she's watching Kassi not the TV)

Here are the pictures I promised of us swimming now that we got them off my broken camera!
