BEACH TRIP

We spent the weekend at the coast and stayed in a beach house with Richie's brothers and MaKenna's cousin Jake. While we were there she had to keep up with her cousin and she began to pull herself up on the coffee table to standing. She is getting so strong and I'm sure is on the way to walking soon. TROUBLE!

I'M READY TO GO!!!

Milestones

MaKenna is eight months now and she is growing up so fast. She is reaching so many milestones...



Milestone 1: She says "hi" with a wave and even said "bye bye" with a wave (but only once so far). And has been saying "Da da", "Ma ma" and tries to say "doggie"

Milestone 2: She is getting in her front teeth! Which is painful, but exciting. So EVERYTHING is going in the mouth!

Milestone 3: First ear infections. Not fun :(



Milestone 4: Went to her first Blazer Game!!!



Milestone 5: First Caurosel Ride! (Got a bit dizzy)





Milestone 6: First time down the slide at the park!






Milestone 7: She gives kisses. Open mouth of course and often very wet and slobbery, but very sweet and special. She also kisses her baby doll.



Milestone 8: She loves reading books, or a least looking at the pictures.

Milestone 9: She started Day Care and has made friends.

Milestone 10: She ate ice cream cake for the first time (thanks to her auntie Kristin).

FIRST CHRISTMAS

MaKenna's first Christmas was so much fun. We had a nice Christmas morning at home. Mostly she enjoyed the wrapping paper and boxes, but she did get an exersaucer that she just loves! (pictures to come)


Now she is seven months and her newest milestone is that she now says "ma ma" and "da da". So that is fun!

Six Months? Wow, it goes fast!!!

So MaKenna turns six months and is progressing so fast. She has two bottom teeth now and is crawling (or attemping to crawl), it is more like a drag yourself with your arms. But she gets herself across the room pretty fast when she wants to. Especially when the remote is on the floor.

Becuase Christmas is right around the corner, of course I was already trying to pose her for Christmas photos and here are a few... I'm sure there will be many more to come.

BEST STOCKING STUFFER EVER!!!

Baby's First Christmas

By the way, you know your daughter is spoiled when we are at a restaurant and she throws a fit because the woman in the booth next to us is not paying attention to her.

Good thing her cousin is on the way!

First Thanksgiving with MaKenna

This Thanksgiving was a special one for us. Obviously we have a lot to be thankful for this year. We were able to spend the Holiday with family and ate lots of great food!
