6 Months

I can hardly believe that my tiny little baby is six months old. Then again, I can't believe she has only been in our lives for 6 months. It feels like we have always had this precious little girl. Makenzie Lee has been the most wonderful blessing that we have ever received. Never have we known such joy and happiness until Kenzie showed us the light. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for entrusting Shane and me with one of his most precious children. I thank him every day, multiple times a day, for sending us one of His very own angels. We love her more than words could ever express.

Here are some thing you might not know about Makenzie. Enjoy!

Kenzie has:
sometimes blondish, sometimes brownish, sometimes redish hair; two adorable bottom teeth; a cry that sounds like the shrieking eel's from "The Princess Bride;" the sweetest little pouty lip to make up for her cry; her daddy's cleft chin; her mommy's blue eyes

Kenzie likes: to roll and roll and roll; to play with cords (no matter how many toys are in front of her, she will roll right for the cords every time); funny faces; to be tossed in the air, to go shopping (she really does!); grocery lists (every time I shove my grocery list in between her leg and car seat she drops whatever toy she has and goes for the list instead. She loves that crinkly paper); when people laugh (she even smiles at laughs in her sleep); to talk (more like squeal), to touch faces

Kenzie doesn't like:
the sound of breaking glass (on TV or in real life); when her mommy leaves the room :):):) ; peas; blankets on her while she's sleeping; being tickled; when her mom talks while she is nursing

She looks a little funny in this picture but it is the only one of her sucking on her upper lip. She sucks on that top lip all the time and it is SO CUTE!

She rolls all over the place these days.

She loves to play with things that she really shouldn't play with... Don't worry, I took the pen away right after I took this picture :)

I love it when she passes objects from one hand to the other :)

Emma's play

Shane and I went to Independence last weekend to see Emma in her school play "The Little Mermaid." She played the part of a "Sea Scout." She sure was the cutest sea scout I've ever seen. Emma did a wonderful job and Shane and I were so happy to have an excuse to go visit my home-sweet-home.

This is how Emma posed for me when she saw me taking pictures. Silly girl!

Ronald Reagan Library

My Parents came down a couple weeks ago for President's Day weekend and we decided to celebrate by going to the library of one of the greatest presidents of all, Ronald Reagan. We had such a fun time learning about this great man.

"I know in my heart that man is good that what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpous and worth to each and every life"

Classic picture of Emma with her eyes shut:)

TEETH!!!!

When I felt a tiny tooth poking out of Makenzie's bottom gums two weeks ago, I started to cry... tears, runny nose, everything. I can't believe my tiny baby is growing up so fast! I am going to miss her cute little gummy smile but these little teeth are pretty adorable too. I love this baby more than words could ever say and I really do love every tiny stage she goes through.

The best way for me to get a picture of her teeth is when she is crying :(  Don't worry, I didn't let her cry for long. Can you see those tiny little white nubs?
