8 months old!

Impossible! She can't be 8 months already! I swear I didn't give her permission to grow up.
Since her 6 month check up, she has changed so much and developed lots of new skills and abilities.
  • However, she still can't roll over (back to tummy), and no signs of crawling yet
  • She's also STILL not sleeping through the night (only waking once though)
  • I plan to "sleep train" her as soon as I'm done working (JULY 2- LAST DAY!!! :))
  • She cut two teeth
  • Flew for the first time in an airplane (to AL)
  • Had her first poop in the bathtub :)
  • Can (kind of) shake her head "no, no"
  • Can babble "mama" and "dada" indiscriminantly
  • Loves to play with her tongue and spit (razzing)
  • Swishes food around in her mouth
  • Plays with mom's hair while she nurses
  • Plays with her own hair when the helmet is off
  • Getting better at feeding herself cheerios, puffs, and other easy to grab foods
  • Starting to reach out for people to hold her
  • Squeels LOTS when she's happy and excited
  • She's so very annimated and quite often happy
  • She sleeps on her side now
  • We find her in really funny positions when she wakes up (i.e. turned 180 degrees from the way I put her to bed in her crib)
  • Starting to give big open mouth kisses when you ask for one

And here's McKenna "playing" with her cousin Whitney (2 months younger). She's just trying to give her loves! Whitney wasn't so keen on the idea though.

WE LOVE OUR MCBABY!! She's such a blessing in our lives!

Look at her adorable hair! With all the helmet pictures lately I hadn't realized how thick it's getting. She's gorgeous!

Look at all that hair! She is growing so fast. I thought about it today... Now that Dylan is 3 months, she must be 8. Love the video... She is trying to kisses, but it is dang funny. And yay for being done with school!!! Yay McBaby!

She never reaches out and smooches me! Aw C'MON! How is that fair? I'm jealous of Wintie. McKenna's turning into a little love machine! Precious. :)

yup, i'm going to comment on the hair too! it's looking good and she's looking so big!

also, if we posted all the pics we take of our kids sleeping funny, our blog would almost entirely be about funny sleep positions. we get a kick out of checking on the kids when they're asleep to see what they are doing.
