February McKenna Pics and Videos

Some of McKenna's recent toy "displays."  She often puts things up high so Ben can't get them . :)  We're still working on sharing.  

Cute hair-do.


When our sister-in-law, Lara, photographed Ben for his first birthday, I got McKenna all dolled up for some pictures as well.  She loved feeling special and posing. 



This pose was Dan's idea. :)



Playing dress-up and tea party with her friend Isabel.

FAST head shoulders knees and toes. :)
Counting to ten in a few languages.  I love her silly expressions.
Dancing!  I love her ending pose when the song is done. 
McKenna is almost 3 and half and I can really tell she's growing and changing so much.  I'm also certainly feeling like 3 year olds are much harder than 2 year olds.  She's more stubborn and sassy for sure!  However, she is developing better manners all the time and also loves to recite and act out her favorite books.  She's also getting better at expressing her emotions.  For example, she'll tell me, "I'm sad about you cleaning up my toys."
And here's a funny conversation we had the other day:

McK- "Mom, should we call Jesus on the phone?"
Me-"Uh, no. But do you know how we can talk to Jesus and Heavenly Father?"
McK- "On the iPad?" 
And here I was hoping she'd tell me a little about prayer.  :)  It was a fun teaching moment!

I always thought the threes were way more terrible than the twos! And yet even at their most terrible, they're still pretty wonderful, aren't they?

Cute photos! She's getting so big. I love that you document all the day to day things like putting her toys up high so Ben can't reach. And conversations with 3 year olds always crack me up.

I'm glad to see my little one isn't the only one placing his toys up high where little brother can't get them. This is a fun age!

Love the wrestling pictures of Ben-- he looks so distressed. :)
