Six Months Old!

Well, she's actually almost seven months now, but close enough! I can't believe how fast time is going by. Our Makenna-bo-benna is such a happy baby. I know you can't tell by those cheeks, but she HATES baby food! Rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, peaches, pears, squash...she hates it all! The only thing she has taken three bites of is sweet potatoes. Other than that, she keeps her lips tightly shut or spits at me (which, by the way, Bryker encourages daily..."spit, Makenna, spit!"). She loves to sit and play with toys and watch EVERYTHING that is going on around her. She does not care to roll and doesn't even like being on her back or tummy any more. Instead, if she wants something out of her reach, she just reaches and reaches and then face plants into the floor! She is a pretty good sleeper (when she's not teething) and usually just goes with the flow (except when Bryker is torturing her, which has been happening a lot lately...but is getting better now that we're back in Chicago).

We love our little lizard! (Such a classic Makenna look - with the tongue out!)



A little photoshoot on Christmas Eve!
All seven of the grandkids on my side of the family (below).


My sister let us borrow her jumparoo in Utah. Now whenever we put Makenna in her exersaucer here, she starts jumping like crazy and then can't figure out why it's not very fun!

I can't believe she is 6 months already! I just love those cheeks! I think for the next kid I'm going to have to get one of those jumperoos...looks like too much fun!

I can't believe how big she is getting! I am so sorry I missed you while you were here, I wish I could've made it to lunch! I have this summer off from school so call me if you guys venture on out this way again.
