Ouchy!

Yesterday Mckenna went to the doctor. She is getting so big. She weighs 11 lbs 5 oz and is 22 inches long!!! The doctor said she is REALLY healthy and it doing well! Then she was due for 5 shots. The office was out of two of the vaccines, so she only had to have 3 shots and 1 oral vaccines (she will have to go back sometime next week for the other two). She did amazingly well. She cried through the shots, but after the nurse took the last one out she stopped crying! I thought she would cry for a really long time, but she wasn't (yippy!) She has been really crabby since though:-) Her legs are really sore, so we have had to give her lots of Tylenol. She is doing better tonight though. She also started sitting in her bumbo seat! She really likes it....for about 3 minutes! I think it will get easier for her soon! She is so strong and it getting stronger by the day. I have lots of other pictures to post, but not enough time right now- hopefully soon!!!

On another note- Can you believe that 7 years ago today is when the twin towers where hit? I am sure all of you remember, just as I do, what you were doing the moment you heard and that all day long we watch CNN at school... What a crazy time!

I can't resist

Isn't she absolutely ADORABLE? Again, I have been playing around with Photoshop, but I think it turned out so cute with the flower! She has a little duck tail of hair in the back, which makes me laugh and Jeff sing the Duck Tales theme song! Eventually we will have some more interesting news to blog about, but for now MCKENNA and PHOTOSHOP take up my time- and I am fine with that!!!

*M*G*J*

This was from Mckenna's latest "photo shoot". I think I have used 6 rolls of film (I know no one has used FILM in forever, but you can do so much more with film...) trying to get a couple good pictures of her for her birth announcements. This one is one of my favorites. I then have been trying to learn how to use Photoshop. I am not good at all, but this picture is kind of fun!

We are all doing really well. Jeff started some of his masters classes on Thursday night (he is doing a joint degree program- Law school and Masters in International Relations). I think he will really enjoy these classes, although they are all at night :-( Mckenna will be two months old in a week. She is growing so much and is SO fun! She is also becoming a much better sleeper- hooray! I am doing great! Being a mom is wonderful and I am finally in some what of a routine. I can get things done and still enjoy all of my time with my little snug bug! Woohoo!

Baby Hog...I mean Aunt Rylie

Any one who knows my little sister, Rylie, knows that she LOVES babies. When I was in Arizona in April Rylie, my mom and I stayed at my sisters house. If you were ever looking for Cassi's then 6 month old, Anndi, all you had to do was find Aunt Rylie. Also, when Cassi was visiting my family in Utah Rylie insisted that all three of Cassi's daughters (INCLUDING the 9 month old) sleep in her room! Those are just some examples of what a great aunt Rylie is to her 4 beautiful nieces, but it is ALMOST impossible to get a baby away from Rylie with out a fight :-) So, while they were here in San Antonio Rylie hovered where ever Mckenna happened to be.
On Sunday morning (the Sunday we bless Mckenna) I fed Mckenna and then laid her on the floor to go back to sleep while I got myself ready. Rylie was getting ready with me for awhile and then once she finished she disappeared from the bathroom. When I was finally ready I walked back into our room and this is what I saw........

Rylie layed next to Mckenna and they fell asleep together!!!! It was the cutest picture!!!

It was so great having Rylie ( AND MY PARENTS) around because I always knew Mckenna was getting enough attention- maybe even too much attention!!! Although, my parents and Tyler may say they didn't get to hold her enough :-)!!

Our big baby!!!

Scary eyes!!!

On Tuesday Mckenna turned SIX weeks old!!! I can't believe how big she is getting. Time flies!! We weighed her today and she weighs 10 lbs 12 oz. SHE IS HUGE!!!! She is starting to develop a little personality. She is starting to smile at us all the time and really recognizes our voices and faces. It is SO fun!!! We love having her around all the time! Anyway, I thought I would post some more pictures of her!! Enjoy!

Blessing Day!

Blogger is being so weird. So I know that this text is all weird, but here it goes anyway! On the 10th we blessed Mckenna. My family was able to come out from Utah and from Houston, and Jeff's sister and family came too. It was such a beautiful blessing for an even more beautiful baby. My amazing sister had Mckenna's dress made (her Grandma-in-law makes dresses) and it was absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't have asked for a better day (except for maybe having Jeff's parents here too :-) We missed you, Mom and Dad!!!) She was crying while we were trying to take pictures of her- so she has her paci in her mouth for tons of pictures... it is kind of cute though!

Prettiest baby!

You can kind of see her dress. It was so long and absolutely beautiful on her!
4 generations! Me, Great Grandma, Mckenna, and Mom

Getting ready for her big day! Isn't the slip almost as beautiful as the dress?

Putting her dress on!!!

Isn't this picture ADORABLE!

One Month

Mckenna turned one month today (well, since it is now past midnight it was actually yesterday that she turned 1 month...) We can't believe she is growing up so fast! I will hopefully post pictures tomorrow (after I sleep for a couple more hours before waking up with her).

Also, we are blessing Mckenna on Sunday- SO my family is coming out!! I can't wait to see my parents and my two little siblings! My aunt, grandparents, 2 cousins, and an uncle are all coming out from Houston too! It will be a fun little party!!!

One last note- I just finished "Breaking Dawn". I wasn't to sure about it in the beginning, but I ended up loving it! What did everyone else think about it? Now what should I read? Any good suggestions? Now that my two favorite series (Harry Potter and Twilight) have concluded I don't know what to read next :-)!
