    It's been awhile since I shared updates about Jenna with my friends here. Time to fix that. :D

    So, just yesterday, or the day before, Jenna started saying her whole alphabet by herself, fast. A to airplane. :happy102 Airplane, you ask. Yes, she replaces Z with airplane. Airplanes are her latest obsession. Everyone and everything is "airplane". Oh, I know she knows the alphabet ends in Z. She's just silly like that.

    She's known her letters for probably 2 years now, but she used to just say every other line of the alphabet song. I'd say "A-B-C-D", and she'd say "E-F-Princess". :rolleyes: :happy102 And so on. All the way through the song.

    And she recognizes letters too. She loves the big signs at stores, like Home Depot, Wal-Mart, JC Penny, and she'll make me stop so she can tell me each and every letter. Yes, she can even spell words without looking at them. The girl blows my mind sometimes.

    She can count up to 12 and down from 10. Blast off! :love029

    Her mental abilities are just astounding. Not much progress as far as the physical progress goes though. Still just crawling. Not even sitting up. Just crawling.

    Girl's getting heavy! At least for me to be carrying her for very long. I think she weighs just under 30 pounds, but the stiffness makes her feel heavier to me. And she's more than half my height.

    Anyway, hopefully I'll have some pics of her in her Halloween costume to share in a few days. :)

    Well, if my 4 year old gets near the computer she wants to "Google something". She's not much interested in shaving. :p

    She keeps changing her mind. But she has a couple costumes to pick from. Normally she plays dress up with them, but they are Halloween costumes.

    Thanks so much for sharing! Having met Jenna I know she's quite a girl! She gave us one of her smiles and my wife and I were hooked! ;)

    I guess I forgot to mention to all the new people my daughter has Cerebral Palsy. She was diagnosed at 11 months old. The CP is very mild really. Her biggest obstacle is leg muscle tone, which is tight or in medical terminology; spastic.

    Sympathy is not required, though. She wouldn't be her if she didn't have CP, is my thought on the matter. And while I feel a parent's responsibility for the situation, as many mothers do regardless of the facts, I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world.
