Bath Time

Makenna took her first bath in the big tub tonight. I had been laying her on the counter and giving her a bath out of the bathroom sink, but she moves so much now I can hardly get her cleaned up without her trying to roll off the counter or into the sink. She love love loved the tub.

Happy Girl



Makenna's new trick is to bite on to the spoon and just smile at you. She's such a messy eater.

Wide Awake

I walked in to check on Makenna this morning and this is what I found. A little one peeking out wondering when I was going to come in to get her. She looked so adorable.

6 Months Old

Makenna had her 6 month check-up yesterday. It went great except for that mean ole nurse again giving her shots. She had to have 3 this go around, which made her very unhappy. She now weighs 16 lb 12 oz and is 26 1/2 inches long. Its amazing how much she has grown.




Mommy's Fan Club

A few pictures from the Hall of Fame night. I got inducted into Rantoul High School Sports Hall of Fame. It was quite an honor. I had a great fan club cheering me on and showing their support. Thank You. Little Miss Makenna had a cold so she had to stay home with Nana.

First Cold

Makenna got her first cold this past week. She has had a runny nose, cough, and goo in her one eye. Luckily, she has been in a good mood through it all. She's a trooper.

Miss Independent

Little Miss Makenna has started to get the hang of holding her bottle. You can see in the first picture, she dropped the bottle, but her hands are still up like she is holding it. Silly girl. Makenna turned 6 months this week. It's so hard to believe how fast these 6 months have gone.

Air Makenna

I got Makenna some more adorable Air Jordan outfits. This one was so darn cute I couldn't say no.



I am getting Makenna started early on her basketball skills. At this point she would much rather eat the basketball.

Mommy Turns 30

My sweetheart husband had a surprise 30 birthday party for me this past weekend. It was a very nice surprise.

Ryan and Makenna are definitely related. They both wear their food after each meal. Look closely at Ryan's shirt. At least it was at the end of the night.
