It's Christmastime Again...

and even though I missed the first Shutterfly promotion, I was able to find another!  They have great Christmas cards and what makes their site the best is that I am able to share with everyone even if I don't get to mail a card to everyone. 

So for those of you out of the country...here is your Christmas card from Mak & me!

How Time Flies

Hello everyone!
It's been some time since I've updated the blog.  I had to reset everything a while back because my email was hacked and I didn't want any issues.  So here we are again...new blog address & all!

Makenna is getting so big and is so much fun!  She loves to help in the kitchen, we bake (she likes to add salt & pepper to everything), she tries to help load the dishwasher, and she loves to stir everything.  She has definitely taken a liking to Nick Jr., but only because that's all mommy lets her watch!  There are some great learning shows on the channel and it helps Mommy when she has work or school stuff to get done.
Mommy is working hard, mostly feeling like she's chasing herself in circles, but hey...that's what life is all about I am learning!  I am hoping to start the credential/masters program for special ed in the fall...funding pending!!!

Makenna is in an amazing daycare which assures Mommy that she is in good hands during the day.  She is learning so much, she knows her ABC's (+ the "now I know my ABC's" part), can count to 10 by herself & to 20 with help, she sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" & the "Itsy Bitsy Spider".  We're working on colors now, which she isn't so good with...YET!  I am so luck to have such an easy going child, God knows my patients wouldn't allow for anything different!

Blogging for Dummies

YES...I would be the dummy!  I just reset the blog so that I can (hopefully) start fresh.  I want to have one of those cook crafty looking blogs, but fail every time!  I just get frustrated and shut the computer off and there the unfinished blog sits again. 
GOAL = FINISH BLOG + make it cute!

Here We Grow...

Everyday I am reminded that Makenna is no longer my little baby...she is now a big girl!  She is getting so big and the baby stage dissipates more and more everyday.  We are now front facing in the carseat, which I never thought would happen because I thought she would never reach the 20lb. number on the scale.  Surprise...she weighed right at 20lbs. at her 15 month check up.  Currently she is on the curve for her height and weight and the doc is no longer concerned about her...huge relief to mommy :)

This girl talks...and talks...AND TALKS!  She can repeat just about any word you ask her to say and if it's a word that she can't quite figure out, she makes up her own version.  She has full conversation (in her own language) when you ask her questions, and my most favorite word is "HAPPY"!  If you ask her "Are you happy?" She says "HAPPY!"  It's the best feeling for me to see her face light up!

One of the new activities that she has discovered is talking on the phone...her play phones, which she has about 4 of.  She picks up the phone, says "ello, uh, ya, um...k...BYE."  Every now and again whoever is on the other end of the call must really upset her because she will say "bye", look at the phone, throw it on the floor, and walk away.  I can definitely see the attitude forming and it scares me!
