New Cities, New Experiences, and New Toys!!

McKenley is constantly learning about new things, seeing new people, and finding out about her changing surroundings!!

Last week we headed to Austin to see Aunt Katy graduate!! I will post more pics from our trip soon! McKenley was SUCH a good girl on her first road trip :)

This week I went to Target to get McKenley a Bumbo chair. She's not completely ready for it, but they're just so darn cute that I couldn't help myself!!  I put her in it just to see how she would handle it and OMG!!! it was probably the cutest darn thing that I had ever seen! How can someone look so little and yet like such a big girl all at the same time!!

She was so mesmerized by all of her surroundings, I think she was confused by seeing everything from this new perspective! I couldn't even get her to smile (which has become quite easy these days!) because she was concentrating on everything so hard!

Then I turned on the Baby Einstein DVD! WOW!! I didn't hear a peep from her for the entire 28 minutes! She loved all the bright colors and the fun noises, it was hysterical!!

"Don't bother me while my movie is on Mom!!"

Friday we went to our weekly Mom & Me meeting and had a BLAST!! McKenley loves looking at all the other babies, but we REALLY missed our friends Lezlee and Sophia! McKenley can't wait for Sophia's mommy to be done with school so they can play again :) At this week's meeting we learned about a Mom & Me swim class in the area and CAN'T WAIT to get signed up (more on this hopefully very soon!)

All in all, McKenley is getting bigger and bigger each day and starting to develop quite a goofy little personality!

Wordless Wednesday #2

Happy Graduation Aunt Katy!!

CELEBRATIONS!!!

This past week has been full of celebrations! Some for the princess and some for others in the family.

McKenley has gotten to be SOOO great at going places with mommy and daddy. Saturday, McKenley met the BEAUTIFUL Sophia! Sophia is only 3 weeks older than McKenley and sure to be one of her very best friends. Lezlee (Sophia's mommy) and I are VERY excited about all the playdates to come :)

Sunday we celebrated Pops' birthday! 

She wore her "Grandpa's Girl" shirt to celebrate!

Exhausted after all the festivities :)

Soooo cute with Daddy!

 Today, we are celebrating McKenley being a part of our family for 2 months! Unfortunately, we had to start the celebration by visiting the doctor and getting 3 shots :(

War wounds :(

McKenley's current stats:
Weight: 9 lbs. 10 oz. - GROWIN GIRL!!! - 75 percentile (still on the adjusted scale of other premies)
Length: 21.5 inches - 95 percentile
Head: 14.5 inches - 75 percentile

Things that McKenley has started to do this month:
- Picking her head up while on her tummy and looking back and forth... Daddy and I think its only a matter of time before our munchkin is rolling all the way over!!
- She has found her tongue and loves to roll it around in her mouth and stick it out at us
- Decided that she likes her current formula!! (Mommy and daddy are VERY happy about that!)
- Follow items back and forth... she loves the mobile from Mimi!

Thank goodness it didn't take long for McKenley to calm down after her shots! Because it was time to take her 2 month celebration pictures:

Yes, Daisy HAD to be a part of the celebration! :)
