Getting so big!!


Here's her lovely "cheese" whenever I take a picture.

I can't get over how big McKenna is getting. She is learning new things everyday and talking so much! She will talk your ear off and repeats anything you say. The other day she gave daddy a fruit snack (which is a big thing for her to share) and he said thank you honey. And she repeated back with the same inflection in her voice, "thank you honey." She is putting pretty much any two words together and now starting to put three together. Her favorite two things to say are "I do" and "mine." She knows her colors now and is starting to sing along with songs which is so precious.

She absolutely loves music. She makes me sing to her all of the time, we have to always listen to her music in the car and she calls and makes her grammy since to her. She says "song, song." We usually go to story/music time twice a week. She is so cute doing all of the motions and dancing around. Her favorite part is the shakers. When I tell her we're going she says "shake, shake" and starts dancing around. She loves to jump and dance. Lately she loves to skype grandpa and make him dance with her on the computer. She gets her baby doll and then tells him to go get a baby doll and dance. It is so funny and cute!

I think she is now over 30 pounds and is still a little chunky monkey and loves to eat although she is starting to get taller and thin out and I'm sure will lose that baby look as she gets bigger. A girl after her mama's heart she loves pasta and pizza and most of all "treats," which includes anything sweet.

It is so fun watching her grow and change and such a privilege to be able to stay home with her every day to experience it. Here are a couple of pictures of her with her backpack that uncle aaron and aunt kristina gave her. She is so cute packing it before we go places like the doctor's office. It is funny once we get there to see what she put in it. Last time it was a measuring tape, ball, finger puppet, cell phone and a note pad and crayons. She tried to stuff her baby doll in there, but after all the other stuff it wouldn't fit!
