'Tis the Season (post from mommy)

There's a definite chill in the air and I feel the season of the magic of Santa coming on!  Each year I think I will get more and more excited as the season creeps up on us to see the excitement in Makenna's face as we celebrate each new holiday tradition!
Starting in October, I began teaching her "HO HO HO"  she finally caught on and knows that Santa says "HO HO!!!'  The house isn't completely decorated yet, but I'm sure I will have my work cut out for me once it is, she is into EVERYTHING now...walking and all!  Yes, that's right...Makenna is walking!  She's been taking a few steps here and there for about 2 weeks now, but as of Saturday she is getting up from the sitting position and off she goes.  She still isn't completely balanced and I like to say that she's finally found her walking legs, but is still searching for the rest of her balance!  A new phase in her life and mine has definitely arrived!  I cannot believe how quickly one little person can change, just 2 months ago she was a completely different little girl.  I guess welcome to reality mommy!
Here are a few new pictures...

Mommy's Reminescing Moment

Wow...can you believe I'm ONE now!  Here's the scoop on what I've been up to these past few months:

I can crawl like a pro and have mastered the stairs!  I have 2 bottom teeth that have almost completely come in and I have 4 on top working their way in.  I'm talking a lot (even if only I understand what I'm talking about!)  I say "momma", "da-eh" (for doggy), "HI", "Beau" (the bulldog), "more", "Ty" (my most favorite stuffed animal) and I'm trying to say "bye" and "poppa".  Mommy's favorite thing is that I'm learning to get in the cupboards (HE HE HE)!  There are fun things in there that I never knew about!  I got the best pink car for my birthday and I spend a lot of time riding around in it or pushing it through the house, mommy says it's helping me get my walking legs!!!

And look how big I am now!
