My baby is so smart!

"So, I know everyone says their kid is gifted...well I know that mine is." This is a Real Housewives of NY reference...not sure if y'all get it! If you get a chance to check it out on Bravo - Alex is a piece of work...especially how she feels about her kids. Anyway, Marc gets it. Ha ha. But it is the premise of my story today.

But I was amazed this morning about how much Jensen is understanding these days. She's really getting the "No" concept down which is great. But beyond that she knows what's going on. This morning we were playing and she started to rub her eyes so I asked her if she was ready for her bottle. She quickly looked to the couch where her bottle was in the cup holder, and then back at me. I said, "Let's have your bottle. Go get it." So she crawled over to the couch, got on her knees...realized she wasn't close enough to get to the bottle, got down crawled over a little and then got up again. She grabbed her bottle out of the cup holder and tried to put in her mouth. She was thwarted however by the top, but I was still so proud! She knew exactly where it was and how to get to it! She's a genius I tell you! Just kidding! No genius here, but definitely a little girl that's absorbing EVERYTHING around her!

TEN Months!

Wow. I know, I know. I keep saying how fast she's growing but it's so true! She's becoming a little girl...and it makes me long for her newborn days (not the 3:00 am feeding though!) when she was so soft and alert and was just discovering things. Of course, she's still discovering many things...like how to get herself unstuck from the bottom of her exersaucer, but you know what I mean!

We all got hit this last week and a half with daycare germs! Yuck...Jensen brought home a very nasty cold that we are all finally getting over. She is back to normal and Marc and I are almost there. Hopefully by this weekend we'll be as good as new.

Jensen is waving all the time now. In fact, she loves to wave to herself in the mirror in the car. She gets SO excited when she gets in her carseat and sees herself in the mirror. She starts to laugh and wave frantically. I don't think she realizes she's waving to herself but it gives her so much pleasure why burst her bubble?
