Long Time No See

Yes I know it’s been a long time since I’ve updated this site, but thankfully there hasn’t been much to update on. There have been a couple ear infections but that has become the ‘norm’ with her. Nothing that antibiotics can’t handle. She is eating all table food now so no more baby food. She drinks milk like she’ll never see it again. “Hello, my name is McKenna and I’m a milk-a-holic” “Hi McKenna” After our first battle with juice, we’re just going to steer clear of that stuff for awhile, and if she likes milk and water like she does then I see no reason to give her juice. She is so close to walking but isn’t mostly because she’s a chicken and too afraid to fall (on her padded butt). She walks well when holding on to our hands or on anything else, but just to scared to do it on her own. I know what most of you with kids are thinking…enjoy it while she’s not walking because she’ll get into everything. My defense to that is…she already does. This kid can climb like nobody’s business. If she can’t get something, she’ll move something she can climb on over to where she needs it and climb up to get whatever she’s after. She knows 5 or 6 words in sign language. More, dog, light, milk, duck and I might be forgetting some, but more and milk are her favorites by far.

We also just returned from Kansas City. We went to see some of my college friends and their girlfriends/wives and a very cute baby girl. McKenna did pretty well playing with Rylee except when it came to being gentle. She thought Rylee wanted to rock really fast in her chair or swing as fast as possible or wrestle when she was lying on the floor. The wiener dog Brandi was the only one who didn’t care much for McKenna while we were there. She did well while riding in our new mini-van. Yes that’s right folks, Suzanne and I are the owners a Kia Sedona that we bought in January. So, anyway, she slept a little over 2 hours on the way down and around 3 hours on the way back. It made having the van 100% worth it this weekend with the extra room to bring half the house with us for the weekend. Well, that’s all for now. Hopefully I can update more than once every 2 or 3 months but we’ll see. Also, in case any of you are interested, new pictures are posted in the Spring 07 album which also includes some from Christmas. Take care and love to all.
