Bouncy Bouncy

I realize many (if not all) of my posts have become about Jayne...Jayne this n' Jayne that...but that's our life over here at the Bennallacks. And I wouldn't trade it for anything. Not one .single. thing! She's our little sunshine and keeps us happy over here. Her latest love is her bouncer. She happily bounces, one foot at a time, like she's out on a jog or something. Bounce on 2 feet? Nope, she'd rather jog instead. She gets an intense face (I'll need to get a better video of her face) and then just has at it. You'll see that she even mixes in her "dancing" sometimes to get the full workout. Her favorite song to work out to is clearly The William Tell Overture (which I am now humming all the day long). That one gets her blood a pumpin'!
So without further ado, bouncing, jogging, happy Jayne.
(humming the overture yet? You will be!)

Giggles

This girl is the best. Those cheeks and her giggle are the best combination. At 40 seconds she gets hearty and melts my heart :)

Jayne - 5 months

So she's put another month down in the books. 5 months today. Miss Jayne is so much fun, so cute, patient, interactive and did I mention cute!? I melt every time her sweet eyes meet mine and she gives me her little chubby cheeked grin.  

It is so fun to see her growing right before our eyes...but then I want to just stop time and spend every minute with my little buddy. We hang out every day together. Me and my girl. Jeez, she just melts my heart.

Jayne's 5 month stats
  • Jayne can roll from her stomach to her back. She's almost got the back-to-stomach move down but not yet!
  • She loves to "dance". She often is rocking herself back and forth while we hold her. People ask us if we're doing it, but its all her! We can get her to do it by saying "dancing, dancing, dancing". (in movie)
  • Still sleeping like a champ. She loves her sleep so much and has become very efficient in telling us she wants to go to sleep. She'll continually rub her eyes and nuzzle into her blanket or mom's hair. She knows what she wants!
  • She loves to snuggle her face right into her blanket while sleeping. We put her in bed, give her her binky and she immediately turns her head the the side and snuggles right in.
  • Jayne loves to grab things...anything! She loves hands/fingers, mommy's hair, iPods, her blanket and well just about anything we're holding.
  • She's a growing girl! This is bittersweet for mom and dad ;). She weighed 15.6 lbs last month at her appointment and was 25.25 in long. That keeps her in the 79% for weight and 83% for height. She's getting big!
  • She is very vocal. She loves to squeal and giggle. She has a little chuckle that she'll often give us but when she really giggles it always results in hiccups. Haha. Poor girl got the hiccup gene from momma!
Here's a bit of her dancing...

Happy 5 months baby girl! We love you more than you'll ever know.
