Nap Time

As you can see Leinna has a new nap time buddy. Actually, I think this is Bailey's effort towards reclaiming her status as princess of the house. Bailey didn't last long because Leinna twitched and ended up kicking Bailey, which made her unhappy.



Leinna gets a little fussy when she's tired and this past week as found a way to sooth herself. She likes to suck on her left thumb and twirl her hair with her right hand. I tired to capture her twirling her hair, but it doesn't really show up in the photo. Once she finally gets her thumb into her mouth (this is very frustrating for her if her thumb doesn't cooperate) she's out within a minute or two. I love that she's able to self-sooth, but I was kinda hoping she'd be a pacifer kid- because when it's time to ween we won't be able to "mail" her thumb to another needy child. Oh well- guess we'll figure it out when the time comes.

Other news from the Jacobsen family- Papa was gone all last week hunting moose with Grandpa Gary in Fairbanks. No luck with getting a moose due to the warm weather. Momma and Leinna handled the week well (surprisingly). I also started a part-part-time job with the school. I head in to work with two lovely students for about an hour and then the remainder of the time I'm supporting the special education director with admin-secretarial type stuff. It's working out pretty well and Leinna has a wonderful lady (whose name is Wendy!) that takes care of her for the hour in half I'm at the school.

We hope everyone is doing well!! Can you believe Leinna is 11 weeks old- that's almost 3 months!
YIKES!! Time needs to S-L-O-W down!!
