16 Months

Wow another month has flew by but we have been pretty busy this Month. But first of all lets get the stats on our little girl for her 16 month Birthday.
   She weighs 24lbs.
   Clothes 12-18 months. Most 18 months are still a little big but she is growing so fast!!
   We advanced to size 4 diapers this month only b/c I buy in bulk and was worried she would out grow the 3's before we used them up.
 She is walking more and more everyday After seeing her friend Addie walk around so well she decided she had better start walking more as well. Isn't it crazy how fast competition comes in to play. I should probably add that when I was little My dad came home from visiting Addie's mom and told me she could ride her back without training wheels. Well that day I learned how to ride without my training wheels as well.
  MaKenna went to 2 VBS's this month but being the amazing meomory maker that I am I didn't get any pictures. But she had a blast, At one every time I walked by another worker they would comment on how entertaining she was. They said you tell her to make a funny face and she does,she dances and everything. She is quite the little entertainer.
   MaKenna and I spent the Day at the Zoo with Aunt Ollie, Aunt Allie and Addie and had a great time. It was a little warm but They loved the sprinklers. MaKenna would say "rain rain" Several of the things at the Zoo received a "WOW" from MaKenna.
  Alright so now here is a little preview of the past month.

At Aunt Kelli's Wedding.

Notice they both have the Same Look.
"We're Caught"

Happy Father's Day

She Loves to "rock rock"



The sprinkler's were there favorite part.

They were give out after a day at the zoo.

15 Months

MaKenna on June 2 you turned 15 Months Old!! At 15 months old you weigh 22 lbs 4 oz and are 30 ins long. And you officially started walking the next day!! You are Still the sweetest little girl ever!! And the biggest blessing ever for your Dad and I! 
   On May the 24 you were crawling across the den as fast as you could I said MaKenna why don't you walk. So she started saying "walk, walk" with every crawling step she took. I said stand up and walk!! So she stopped stood up took one step then as she was taking the second step I screamed scared her to death and she fell down. But then on Sunday we were at Maw Maw Betty's and she took about 5 Steps to Nana. That night when Zach got home, I sat MaKenna down and she walked across the kitchen to him. Now crawling is still her preferred method of crawling but every once in a while she will stand up and walk.
   Her tricks for the month.
          She can say what sound a snake makes, monkey, and makes a fish face. And I don't think I mentioned last month about her singing row row row your boat but it is the cutest face. She has now semi learned to about saying the blessing, when it comes time to eat she will close her eyes for a second. And if the pray last to long in her opinion she will start saying "men men"
   She has the funniest expressions my plan is to one day post the Many faces of MaKenna not sure if that will happen b/c she has become camera shy. She loves to entertain to whatever makes people life. And dances to her own beat whenever she hers music.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend was busy for us as is about every weekend Since most involve going out of town. We Started the weekend off on Friday by heading to the Final Graduation at Lineville High School.  To watch Jacob Graduate. Zach and I once again received our parent of the year award when we let our child fall off the bleachers head first. No blood was seen but when she slept until 9:00am the next morning I was fearful there was a concussion. After the Graduation on Friday we drove back to our house b/c my husband was determined that we were going to finally spend a Saturday at our house. And it was wonderful!!
     We all slept until 9 which we were a little upset about b/c we felt like we had slept the day away. Zach smoked some meat for supper MaKenna and I played in her pool and then after supper we did a little shopping. Because what Saturday is complete with out a little shopping. It was a wonderful Saturday and great to finally spend one like most families do.
    

Enjoying some of Daddy's Cooking

After church on Sunday we headed back to CC for the rest of the Memorial day Festivities. We hung out at the lake on Sunday Afternoon And MaKenna Drank most of the lake water. Which might I add grossed this Momma out a little. I kept on thinking Braden and Andrew are probably peeing in this water right now and my child is drinking it!! But I told myself I survived growing up inhaling and drinking lake water, so hopefully she will too.

Hanging with Aunt Bethany

   Monday we hung out at Grandpa and Maw Maw's where she continued to love the water, but spent most of her morning going up and down steps.

14 Months

No I have not fallen of the face of the blog world, and yes I know that I am a horrible mother for not accurately documenting my child's life.
  During my Blog absentee...
                Spent her first night away from Momma, In case you are wondering I survived.

               Daddy's Deployment was officially over in February when he brought the Helicopters home.


After Deployment. Look at how She changed!!

Taking a Nap

                 She had a great easter

I was pleased with how her dressed turned out, since I didn't start on it until Wednesday

               






Now she is 14 Months old She weighs 21 lbs and 3 ozs and is 29 1/4 in.
Her Favorite word is Outside, she loves to be Outside. She wakes up in the morning saying "Outside" and reaching for the door. She love to tell Ellie (the Dog) "get". She also calls the dog by either patting her leg or belly. The other day she wanted to go outside when it was raining, she went to the door stood up and reached for the door knob and looked at me and started patting her leg. She can also say Ball bath and tell you what a cow and a lion say. She loves the phone and any time one rings she puts her hand to her ear.
         April 20 she stood up from a seated position with out holding on to anything. She is still not walking but cruises around holdning on to everything. Not really rushing the walking b/c I know I will be on the go constantly. Once that starts. She discover her belly button that same weekend and is amazed by hers and mine.
       During the blessing she say "men" for amen.  Oh and she says bath too. Sings the "B, I B I" of BIBLE song, "Row Row Row" and has the cutest little mouth expression when she does, E I EI O. and also sings her own version of the ABC's .
        We love Mickey Mouse and can spot "Mic" anything from a mile a way.

                                              She climbs on everything!! And Has no Fear.

So proud of Herself

Having Fun at the Park
