35+ weeks

Well yesterday we had to shovel. I didnt take pictures of the snow bc i tried not to look outside. :) We got around 6 inches, and the snowplow so nicely ran into our mailboxes. Guess he was tired of the snow too.
We are still having rough nights, as Makenzie is still stuffed up and coughing. Im pretty sure we are going to go away for a long time, somewhere with palm trees, cold drinks and a beach with sunshine. (I WISH!)
Even tho she is stuffed up, it doesnt slow her down any! In meeting sunday we got the "Oh she has her own little voice doesnt she.." Yep.. and its LOUD. Even tho we sit in the back for gospel meeting, Im pretty sure everyone knew we were there! :) She makes us laugh... alot. :)
Anyways... here is a few more pictures from the past week.
She LOVES to drink out of a cup.

An even better helper now.. :)

Loves climbing the stairs!


We like to be whereever the kids are.. :)

One night she was being a little cranky b/c i was busy and couldnt hold her. So, daddy put her on the fridge. She thought that was pretty fun.


Big grins!

We like yogurt!

Watching daddy spin a top.. a little tired.. (first time in a few months the paci has stayed that long in the mouth... didnt last long)

Peeking behind the pillow. Shes a smart lil cookie. (the dress is a 12 m dress... supposed to be long. Yes, shes tall.) :)

Eva brought a baby to play with one day, and Makenzie couldnt quite figure it out.

Happy girl.. I tried to take this picture when she was back in the kitchen, but she moves too quick I had to keep backing up! :) Shes our lil active girl thats for sure. (Being she is a horrible teether, we got the amber pain necklace for her... seems to make a difference so we LOVE it. ) :)

Come on Spring!

The snow is melting.. Ive opened the windows to air out the house (its been in the 50's!) and we are MORE then ready for spring!! :)
Ive tried several times to get on here and post pictures, and it doesnt allow me after all the upload, so we will keep trying. Here is updates tho from the past... month. EEk! She is already going to be 8 months on monday! CRAZY.
These past few weeks have been challenging. Brendon, Makenzie and I have all been sick.. and still are fighting it. Kenzie is finally able to sleep back in her bed all night (still waking up several times a night coughing/nursing/stuffed up) But that too will pass. Brendon was sick first, cough, stuffy, etc... at this time I had the flu. Then I got the cough, just in time to take the trip to IL for a funeral, and have had it since! Then Kenzie got it when we got back.. and weve been to the doctor twice for her. They diagnosed her with croup and gave her steroids, and it only got worse. Went back a few days later and she was diagnosed with RSV and tested for whooping cough. I *think* its just this cold, but everything is 10x worse in a baby!
*Kenzie has mastered climbing the stairs. Does it with no help at all... and often when shes not supposed to.
*She just got 2 more teeth! Now has 6.
*Shes 18 lbs.. not sure her height but too tall for any clothes that fit her in the waist.
*Kenzie is a giggle box.. grins and chatters like crazy too. (maybe like her mama) :)
*Climbs up on everything, and walks along anything.. (dishwasher, cupboards, coffee table etc etc)
*LOVES turning on the cd player and turning it up!
*Shes super quick in crawling, and is very determined.
*Shes a big mamas girl!
We love her to pieces and she is sure to put a smile on your face! :)
