On Thursday, March 5th Jordyn made her first attempt at rice cereal! She actually did a lot better than I thought she would. We are now feeding it to her in the morning and before bedtime. It is messy at times but she is getting better each day!

Four Months

Jordyn is now four months old! We went to the doctor and he said that she is a very strong baby and she is developing perfectly. What a blessing it is to have a strong and healthy baby! Here are her four month stats:

Height: 24 1/4 inches

Weight: 15.0 pounds

Some new things that she is doing include:

• Rolling from her back to her tummy, she does it very fast! She has rolled from her tummy to her back a handful of times!
  
• Sucking on her pointer and middle fingers. They always seem to be in her mouth.
  
• She has developed this new little scream that is so cute! She usually does it when she is playing with her daddy.
  
• She has moved out of our room and into her own bedroom.
  
• She is eating rice cereal!

Here is our sweet girl at four months!

Our trip to Arizona

One day I was playing on the computer when I found flights from Albuquerque to Phoenix for $45 each way. Because I am one who can't pass up a good deal, Jordyn and I flew to Phoenix to play with Bri and her family. It was Jordyn's first plane ride and she did amazing! Everyone around me was amazed that she was so content; it did help that the flight was only one hour.

We had so much fun in the nice warm weather. We took the kids to the park, went to Touch the Truck show where the kids got to see fire trucks, buses, tractors, etc. We hung out around the house and played in the backyard.

Here is Alyssa and Wyatt playing on a tractor!

Kaleb and Jordyn just hanging out at the park!

Wyatt was absolutely fascinated with Jordyn. He loved playing with her and was always telling us "Joryn is laughing!" One morning I woke up to him peeking in at Jordyn and he turned to me and said "Joryn is laughing again!" It was so cute to watch him with her. Every now and then we would catch him giving her a kiss.

Here are the two little buddies!

Kaleb was nice enough to let Jordyn play in his exersaucer. She loved it!

I am so mad that I didn't take more pictures while we were there but I do have a little bit of an excuse. Most of our time was occupied making this:

My sister Bri and I made these puppets and puppet theater for our little girls. It was a lot of fun! Bri taught my how to sew and now I have a couple projects in mind. I am so excited when Jordyn will be old enough to put on puppet shows. I know Cory will put on some AMAZING and very ENTERTAINING shows!
