Dancin' with Daddy

I walked out into the living room, while the song "Love Story" by Taylor Swift was playing, and this is what I saw....


I love them so much!

Beautiful!

Dear Grandma Jones,
I know that you are one of mommy's most loyal blog readers, so I wanted to write you a letter on here. Thank you for my very cute Spanish outfit. I wore it for the first time today and looked VERY ADORABLE! Mommy added the brown sweater since it was a little chilly out this morning and it looked great! Today we went to the park, the Riverwalk for dinner and then mom took lots of pictures of me (on Daddy's beautiful green grass) to show you just how cute I looked! Enjoy lots of new pictures! I miss you and can't wait to play with you again in April!

Love,
Mckenna

So Sorry

Well....I know I should have posted this last week, but I forgot!

MY PHONE IS LOST! So, if you have been trying to get a hold of me--- SORRY! I will hopefully get a new one this week. You can also call me at home or on Jeff's cell phone. If you don't have either than e-mail me and I will give them to you!!!!

Sorry again!

(Brittany I will call you back- sorry I didn't know you called!)

Oh Fine

After being asked several times I will FINALLY post pictures. Mckenna is getting HUGE! I can not believe that she is 6 months old. Tomorrow she goes in for her 6 month appointment! I know she is going to be huge (like 17 or 18 lbs). Oh, I love my chubby-buggy! She has started to grow out of some many cute clothes- it is sad! But, this week she got to wear two cute new (well not really new) dresses. I will put those pictures up later! For now you can enjoy some pictures.



These are some other pictures I took of our nieces and nephews on Christmas day. I was playing "photo shoot" while they were playing outside! Some of them turned out so cute.

Parenting...

What a touchy subject! I was just reading a great friend's blog and there were so many comments with all kinds of advice. Some think this and other think that is awful (you know what I am talking about). I just couldn't help but feel annoyed that so many people would be so pushy about their views on parenting. Do we all have to think that letting your baby cry is bad? Do we all have to think that you should let your child cry for hours until they fall asleep? NO.... Personally Jeff and I did the REAL cry it out method found in this book (this is the original cry it out expert) and it isn't just let your baby cry for hours on end!! But, I would never push this on someone! I think it is great to suggestion maybe trying this out, but you don't have to be so pushy. I don't get why people have to be so "correct" when it comes to baby matters. There isn't one perfect way to parent a child. The way that I do it works great for us, but it probably wouldn't work for others. Uggghhh...I am still annoyed, but whatever! I just don't get moms sometimes :-)

Our first big OUCH!

Well, I laid Mckenna down on the bed and turned around...BUT I thought that Jeff would stay there and play with her (like he was when I laid her down). Jeff thought that I was staying with her and turned around at the EXACT same time I did. So, both of us thought that the other was staying with her. I walked into the bathroom to get the aquafor (for Mckenna's chapped face) and I heard Jeff scream....Turned just in enough time to see Mckenna hit the ground....Ran to pick her up and hold her while she cried. Jeff actually saw it happen, but was far enough from her that he couldn't get to her in time, but she landed in the best way possible (on her tummy with her arm her). Well, we calmed her down and then noticed that her tears were stained. The very corner of her eye was very red and she was bleeding from her eye! Poor baby. We called Jeff's cousin (Christopher) who is an eye doctor to find out if we needed to worry. He just said to wait and watch her! I was worried that her brain was bleeding and building up some much pressure that the blood was coming out her eye....just kidding, but it did enter my mind just a little. We watched her the rest of the night and all day the next day- she has done great! Ate well, slept well, and wasn't fussy!!! But, it was a pretty traumatic experience and I felt AWFUL!!!! I am sure that this is not the last injury for Mckenna :-(

Rolls

I have made these rolls twice now and LOVE them. We had some friends over for dinner tonight and they wanted the recipe. I thought I would just share it for everyone. It is on my sister-in-law's recipe blog. She also has lots of other DELICIOUS recipes- you should check it out!!!
