McKenna

McKenna is now potty trained! She is in big girl panties and is doing so good. She is growing more and more independent every day and says "me do it." Which is really great, but also requries lots of patience at times :) She can put her own clothes and shoes on, although they may be backwards and shoes on the wrong feet.


She will repeat anything that you say or ask her to say and says new and funny things every day. Her new thing this week is when you ask her a question she will say um, yea or um, no or um, probablly like she is really thinking about it. She also says "buy some" whenever we reun out of anything. Then today I didn't have any change for her to put in her piggy bank (which she loves to do and will do over and over with the same money) so she told me "buy some." I tried to explain you can't buy money, but I don't think she quite understood! She already wants the "big ones" meaning quarters and dollar coins. She LOVES puppets and wants you to make her dolls, stuffed animals and Carter talk to her all of the time (Thanks Grammy aka Gram Gram and Meem.) As all two year olds do, she loves repetition so we read the same books and sing the same songs over and over. She is starting to know the words in the books (and knows almost all of The Lady with the Alligator Purse book.) She can sing so many songs and count and loves to do Hook 'em Horns and make Carter do it. She still loves Barney and knows several of the songs with the movements by heart. I could go on and on. She loves to dress up and wear her "tap shoes" as she calls them. When my mom was here there was one night when she was running up and down the hall with only a diaper, dress up shoes and beads on. She is so in to pretend play. She loves to play "sonic" where she gets on her car, drives up to sonic, pushes the button and orders. Then you have to bring her the money and have her pay you and then she says "have a great day!" just like they do at sonic. It is so much fun watching her grow and change. She is no longer "the baby" although she will always be our little baby! HEre are some pictures of her over the last several weeks. Oh yea, she now loves her picture taken. She will say take my picture and then wants to look at it right away. She also is really enjoying her camera and takes pictures of everything!
