Bananas!!!

On Wednesday when we went for our 4 month Check up Dr Tyler gave us the go ahead to start tryin out solid foods. I was very excited to get this news!! But I decided that since we would be heading to the beach this weekend I would put off introducing new foods in order to prevent having a tummy ache while on Vacation.  On Friday night I could stand it no longer. So we headed to the store and bought some Bananas. I rationalized it by saying Bananas coat the stomach. So surely it wouldn't be too hard on her. So we did and she loved them. It took her a little bit to figure out what exactly she was supposed to do, and if there were any chunks that didn't get mashed up good she would spit them out. All and All I THought it was very successful. I was prepared to have bananas all over the both of us and the house but it was just on the 2 of us. And she loved them! We just have to teach her manners b/c she likes to smack when she is eating.

She Saw Him

I think MaKenna actually saw her Daddy today on the Computer. Before you could tell that she recognized his voice but it was like she didn't see him I don't know if her eyes didn't have the ability yet to focus on his image on the screen or what. But I believe that today she saw him.
TOday she looked at the computer screen with recognition on her face. The way she looks at his picture each morning. And the way she stared at him while we were in Texas.
I laid her in the floor with him and she attempted to show him her new tricks of rolling over but was to busy talking to him and staring at him. She Loves her Daddy and as we all know she already has him wrapped around her finger from 6,000 plus miles away.

4 Month Checkup.

On Wednesday we went for MaKenna's 4 month checkup Where we received the official weight of 14lbs 3 ozs and 14 1/4 in long. We had to get shots again this time. She was such a big girl. She didn't even flinch for the first 2 and only cried a little n the last one. And I don't believe she got any of the Rota virus vaccine b/c no matter what the nurse did She couldn't out smart MaKenna, she kept spitting it out. Dr Tyler said that she was perfect and that we could start trying solid foods, which is very exciting!!
   After the Dr we met PawPaw and Janice for Lunch. We were very excited to get to see them.

July 4th Weekend

We  had a long busy weekend in Clay Co. for the 4th of July. Our Thursday morning started off with a trip to the windsheild doctor. My windsheild was overdue for this visit by about 1 year. I have horrible luck with windsheilds so decided I would keep a broken one as long as I could. My husband didn't like this plan I think he was a little embarased by my broken windsheild. But it had finally gotten into my line of view so something had to be done. And let me tell you how wonderful it was driving to CC with out a headach due to the crack in my line of view. 
   After we arrived in CC we headed to meet Aunt Bethany and the boys so that we could "get our hair Did" After the beauty shop we headed to Burber King so the boys could play. We had to explain to them that MaKenna still has fun just sitting and watching them. They had planned on her sliding down the slide with them. With one of them on each of her sides. They had good intentions. Friday and Saturday were spent just hanging out. MaKenna enjoyed riding on Poppa's new toy and he swore she would start crying whenever he turned it off.

On Saturday we learned we could get our foot to our mouth.

   Sunday after Church we headed to the lake we only had time to feed our faces and then we headed to MaKenna's good friend Anna Kate's 2 yr Birthday party. We rode to the party with Uncle Jay and Aunt Ollie, we introduced them to MaKenna's love of riding. They said that the screaming didn't bother them but I think they must just really love MaKenna though. They may not ever allow us to ride with them again either. But we had a great time at the Birthday Party MaKenna loved swinging in Anna Kate's swing her Mommy is going to have to go buy one now.

 Monday we hung out at MawMaw Char's where MaKenna met her Aunt Hope, Uncle Flem and cousin Trey. We only got a picture with Trey, due to the fact that the busy weekend had given her out and she slept the day away.

On Tuesday MaKenna got to go over to her BFF Addison's for a play Date. We had a great time hanging out and playing and then we headed back home.

We got home in time to catch Daddy's phone call, and MaKenna attempted to show him her trick of turning over.
