For Uncle Adam

McKenleigh is not a fan of her "baby jail" and has learned how to get out very quickly. Uncle Adam is requesting some videos so here you go.



She is also quick up the stairs. At the very end she hands me a dime. She is really good at giving me everything she finds. It is really cute, but you don't realize how much is on your floor until you have a little one.

We are back

Ok, now we are back, after many weeks of no posts, I am ready to catch you all up. Tuesday after Da (Jason's Dad) was here for a visit, we ended up at the Doctors office and McKenleigh had her first and second ear infections. We made it 10 1/2 months without an ear infection and then she got hit with double ear infections. Poor little girl. I felt so bad, but she was in such a good mood, I didn't know she was sick. Well after a day of medicine her fever was gone and you would not have known she was ever sick.

Looks like a sick little girl to me. =)

After her ears got better, we moved her to the big bath tub. She has been taking a bath in a tub we place in the big tub, but she loved the rooom to move around and play.


Now she is all well and getting so big!

Visit with Da Continued

Ok, we are up to Friday afternoon. Jason came home early from work and we dressed McKenleigh up for Halloween and ran a few errands. Publix was having a special event and we went. Then we headed up to the Hill Center in Green Hills and did a little shopping and had dinner. It was a great evening and everyone loved seeing Raggedy McKenleigh








Saturday was a fun and busy day. I don't think I took a single picture. We played with Da and
Daddy and Saturday night we had friends over for dinner.

And our big news!!!! McKenleigh and had been taking one or two steps for a long time, but Saturday night she took 3 steps!! Da had his plate on the sofa and McKenleigh could see it so she walked over to it. BIG GIRL!!!

Da had to leave early Sunday morning, and we were sorry he had to go, but it was great to see him. We look forward to seeing him again soon.
One more BIG event... Sunday morning she cut TWO NEW TEETH!!! She got her two top front teeth. She now has four teeth. What a full weekend for our little girl.

Visit with Da

This past weekend Jason's Dad (David) came to visit. He flew in Thursday morning and was able to stay through Sunday morning. Jason's stepmom Dinah was spending time with friends in Phoenix, and was unable to come this time, but she sent her love. She also sent McKenleigh a bag full of goodies. A flashlight that Da and McKenleigh played with for the longest time. And a book about a monkey and a little stuffed monkey. McKenleigh enjoyed all the surprises.
Thursday McKenleigh played with her new flashlight,


read her new monkey book,


Played with Ella's doll house,
(He showed her the roof raised and all the toys hiding in there.)


Then read Moo, Baa, La La La

They both had so much fun.

Thursday night Jason came home from work and they took McKenleigh to dinner so I could go to my bible study and they had a blast. They went up to The Daily Dish, and I am not sure who had more fun, Da or McKenleigh. It was a wonderful day.

Friday, Da ran some errands while McKenleigh was waking up and having breakfast and then after I put her down for a nap, he stayed at the house so I could go to the gym. McKenleigh loves her bed, and had not fallen asleep when I left, so he listened to her play for almost an hour. I had told him how much she loved to play and how I would love to watch her, after listening to her, he wanted to watch her as well. So he bought me a wonderful gift...a video monitor!! I can't wait to get it. I will tell you more when it gets here. We ordered it on line- Thank you Da and Dinah.

After McKenleigh woke up Da had a big surprise for McKenleigh...
ELMO!!!




What a fun new toy.

What a busy 2 days and this is just the begining. I will post more soon.

Trunk or Treat

Sunday October 26th was Trunk or Treat at our church and we had a great time. We are 7th grade youth coaches, so we helped with a "trunk". Our theme was "night at the movies". We had a concession stand and a blow up screen and showed The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. We all had so much fun. The theater was empty for the first 30 min, then we started to fill up. After all the kids had their candy, they came and watched a movie. It was great. Here are some pictures of our night.
