6 & 1/2 Months

 

Height: 26 1/2 inches
Weight: 17.6 lbs
Eating habits:  2 tbs fruit, 2 tbs veggies, 2 tbs rice cereal and 5 oz bottles every 4-5 hours

 Accomplishments:  Rolling EVERYWHERE. Pushing up on her arms, knees (slightly) and toes.  Stretching/reaching for toys. Shaking her head back and forth and leaning her head way back to look behind her.  Making "m", "b", "p" sounds and blowing " small raspberries". Adria is sitting on her own and starting to lift her head and shoulders off the ground by herself.

Discoveries: New foods - apples, pears, bananas, peaches, green beans, peas, squash, sweet potatoes, turkey and chicken broth. Adria is NOT a fan of the turkey/chicken broth even when it is mixed in with the veggies or rice cereal. Also she is not a fan of water. We try to give her water every day and she squeezes her lips shut so we can't give her the water. She does this with milk bottles too until she gets a little milk on her lips and knows for sure that it isn't water.
Adria does not like to have damp diaper. We change her quite a bit more than the boys because she fusses if her diaper is damp. Girls...so expensive.


Adria discovered the rolling walker thingy. She loved the toys, mirror and the freedom to move around the kitchen.

Diapers: Size 3 diapers

Nighttime Routine: To bed at 8pm, eat one last bottle and a little rice cereal at 9:30pm back to bed, 
wake up at 6:30am.

 

5 Months

Height:26 inches
Weight:14 lbs 13 oz
Eating habits:  2 tbs rice cereal per day + 6 oz bottles every 4-5 hours

 Accomplishments: She has begun rolling over from her back to her tummy and she's really lifting up on her hands. She has begun eating rice cereal and is getting ready for fruits and veggies.

Diapers: Size 2 diapers

Nighttime Routine: To bed at 8pm, eat at 10pm, wake up at 6am

3 & 4 Months

We were in Boston/NYC when Adria turned 3 months old and somehow the 4 month milestone slipped away too and in a week and a half she will be 5 months old!  Time is going by so fast!

 3 month stats/accomplishments

 Eating habits:  4 oz bottles every 5 hours.

 Accomplishments: Discovered her hands, tounge and her voice.  Adria is definitely a girl, she "talks" a day long.  She is also SUPER smiley. She gives everyone she meets a huge smile and giggle and makes everyone's day.  Grandma and Grandpa Jensen call her "Angel" because she is such a peaceful and happy baby.
Diapers: Moved up to size 2 diapers.

Nighttime Routine:Started sleeping through the night at 10 1/2 weeks, 11 pm to 7 am. 

 Adria became special friends with her cousin Makena who is 4 days older!

Adria went on her first camping trip when she was 3 1/2 months and did great!

 4 month stats/accomplishments

  Weight: 12 lbs
Height: 24 inches 

 Eating habits:  5-6  oz bottles every 4 to 5 hours
(8 oz bottle in the morning)

 Accomplishments: Discovered her feet, putting things in her mouth and objects in front of her - toys, bottle, etc. She likes to lift her feet up and kick her blanket off. She also started arching her back and kicking her legs, during tummy time. I think she is going to be rolling over and scooting in a couple of weeks. 
Adria LOVES for people to talk to her and make her laugh.

Nighttime Routine: 10 pm to 7 am 

This was Adria's first hike. We took all the kids and Grandpa Jensen on a hike called Horse Flats near the summit of American Fork Canyon - it was a hideous hike. I have never been swarmed with so many flies, bees, and mosquitoes.  I still have the bug bite scars to prove it. Luckily they didn't attack Adria.

Two Months

 Height: 22 1/4 inches

Weight: 10 lbs 10 oz

Sleeping Habits: 11 pm to 4 am

Eating Habits: 3-4 oz bottle every 4-5 hours

Discoveries: Her tounge

Thoughts: Adria is a very smiley baby! She loves to smile and interact with everyone. Month two was kind of a rough month as far as her tummy/eating. We had a hard time find a formula that would not constipate her and that she wouldn't spit up every time we laid her down. We have finally settled on Efamil Gentle. And now that she is almost 3 months think we have the eating, sleeping, pooping thing down.

Enjoy these shots of her super smiley face.

Blessing Day

We blessed Adria on May 5th 2013, in the Mt Vista Ward. Stan, Chantal, Jennifer and Jace came down from Utah for the special occasion. Of course our AZ family was here to support us as well and a couple of my friends from FMC, Michelle Hughes, her daughter Alexis, Andrea Compise and Karen and Scott Kirkendall, unfortunately we didn't get pictures with hardly any of them. 

The new AZ Jensen's - a family of five.

Three generations 

 I have always thought Generation Pictures were cool. Here's to another generation of strong, intelligent, beautiful women!

Proud Father and Grandfathers!

Adria we love you and are so grateful to have you in our family!

1 month

 Weight: 8 lbs 12 oz

Height: 19 1/2 inches

Eating: 1-2 oz bottles every 2-3 hours

Sleeping: 3-4 hours

Thoughts: The boys LOVE her, they want to hug and snuggle her constantly. So far Adria is a fairly mellow baby. She is eating and sleeping well. Still trying to find a formula combination that doesn't upset her stomach.
