| That is a face of trouble right there! :) |
Our little Kenna bug is now eight months old! Crazy! It is now summer time (yay) and I get to be home with my baby all day and I am truly loving it! Haha there are days when she takes a really good afternoon nap and I find myself going in to make sure she is still okay and hoping she will wake up soon so that we can continue playing.
This little one is such a happy baby, so full of smiles and laughter. She has her hot tempered moments too, dad and I are in for trouble in the upcoming years. Dad already jokes about having two hot headed red heads in the house :)

Some of McKennas milestones:
On Friday, May 24th (the day after school got out) McKenna had a horrible night, woke up screaming and could not be consoled for a while... Well looking in her mouth a little later that day, and feeling around, she sprouted her first tooth! It is her bottom right, and we can see that her bottom left is not far behind. It is because of this that she has intensified her play with her tongue, her new favorite place is off to the side and clear out of her mouth.
The day after she sprouted her tooth we had some family over and had McKenna out on the grass (which she doesn't mind being on without a blanket) and up until that point she would consecutively take three or four crawls at a time and then do her little scoot. Well we thing the workout of the grass did it for her, she is now a crawler, and by no means a slow one at that! She is TROUBLE! Before she could even crawl she was climbing up on things.. Now it just makes it ten times easier, she loves the fireplace, climbing on the end tables, and getting into everything!

In the past month we have introduced her to sweet peas, butternut squash, cauliflower, carrots, cantelope, and bananas with berries. What makes me laugh is that she really doesn't like the fruit, we are going to try peaches and pears next, it is a little slow going introducing new stuff because I do it for 3 days at a time so that we can see if she has an allergic reaction or not. She is becoming pro at drinking from a cup, just not on her own yet or she dumps it, but she doesn't like a sippy cup.

| She is everywhere! |
She is just barely coming out of 3-6 month clothes, and there are some 3-6 month clothes that still fit her. 6-9 are a bit big and baggy, but we are I between right now. Her hair is getting even longer. I am starting to have a difficult time getting her curl to stand up, but it is still red red :) we love how it glows in the sun!
Sounds: This girl is a jabberer. She has now moved forward with her sounds continuing the ma-ma-ma, to pa-pa-pa, and da-da-da. She loves to inflect her voice up and down as if she were singing, it is precious. She still buzzes her lips and rolls her tongue, but she has also mastered how to click her tongue too! When she was teething she had a really bad runny nose and would hate for us to wipe it, so I taught her how to "blow" her nose, she will lean in towards the tissue and let you wipe it, now we will work on the blowing ;) she is a great kisser too, haha, when in good moods she will give mom and dad sweet open mouth kisses.... And her teddy bear too, who she then proceeds to bite :) and laugh at. She has started laughing back when she does something that makes us laugh, and she still gets the hiccups really bad when she gets laughing.

| Brushing her tooth while mom brushes her teeth! |
One sweet thing is she has started to not want her daddy to leave, she has started following him around, begging to be picked up, when she can sense he is getting ready to go. She is good at that, being right at your feet when she wants you.
 |
| Introduced her to otter pops! She loves them! |
She loves books! The other day, we were going to rock for a nap, and she refused to settle down until I read her about 5 stories! So now she will almost throw a fit daily, if not more, to look at and read books when we go down for naps.

| Smile! See my tooth? |
This sweet Kenna bug keeps us smiling, and it is hard to believe in four short months she will already be a year old. We are enjoying everyday with her!
