September wrap-up

But first... A little something from August.
I forgot to blog about this.  Dan's younger brother Jake got married to beautiful Ailin (pron. Eileen).  Here are a few shots from the blessed day. :)

Three darling cousins with matching dresses (Whitney, Kate, McKenna)



The happy couple!
With all the nieces and nephews
On Sept. 16th, we said good-bye to Dan's youngest brother Adam.  He's leaving to serve for two years in the Stockholm, Sweden mission!
McKenna and I also had a quick trip to the Utah State Fair!  Check out this sculpture made of BUTTER! 
Big pumpkins too!
McKenna turned 11 months!  
I'll list her many new skills and accomplishments next month when she turns 1 (sniff, sniff).  But for now, just enjoy her sweet face and some of her new "tricks."

I love how vocal she's becoming.  She really seems to be telling us something. :) 

Three of her new tricks.  She was a little camera shy at first, but performed quite well in the end.  1.) Playing with her lips  2.)Clapping (on command)  3.) "So big!"

Trick 4.) Tongue clicking  (listen carefully).

This was taken after she was obviously done performing for the camera.  However, it's fun to listen to her jabber some more.  You may even hear a "what" at the end of the video. :)  
First word??

She's adorable. Ah, I remember that wonderful time when I had only one, and every milestone was gigantic. Every future baby that cuts a new tooth will remind you of all the others, every milestone is a miracle. What a great first year you've had with her!

I think it counts as a first word, It definitely sounded like "what" to me. She is a doll! She looks so cute in her wedding dress.

Laura- Thanks for the nice words! Your baby is getting so big...remember she will always be your baby even when she is 9 (like Emilie) and bigger of course! I love the round cheeks on her too!
