Fingers made of chocolate?

I'm pretty sure Makenna thinks her fingers taste like chocolate, they're always in her mouth!

Nothing too exciting

Nothing really too exciting has been happening around here so I thought I would just share some random thoughts and cute pictures of Makenna

• I can't wait for it to be warmer outside- honestly I wonder sometimes why I don't move somewhere where winter is a little bit shorter
• Yesterday was the first day in 3 months that I did not get spit up on me!, however today I haven't been so lucky and it's only 10 am
• Makenna turned 3 months over the weekend. I can't believe how fast they grow!

• Now that Valentines is over we don't have to worry about soft sugar cookies but now there are cadburry eggs and jellybeans! How is one ever to lose weight with such yummy treats around?
• Makenna can almost roll over- if it wasn't for those arms I think she would have it.
  

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

While the man's away- we girls did play

Last week Steve went to Texas for work. It was the first time he's been gone since we had Makenna and I'm glad Steve doesn't leave for work often. I don't know how single moms or moms who's husbands are away a lot do it. I missed not having my little breaks in the evening when Steve is home to help with Makenna. After 3 days we both needed a break from each other and was glad dad was coming home soon. But we did have some fun while he was away.

• Watched the Secret Life of Bees- I loved the book and I thought the movie wasn't too bad. Wouldn't you just love to live in the same house as Queen Latifah? I wanted to watch the Dutchess but didn't get to. Has anyone seen it- is it worth my time?
• Had my sister over for pizza- good times
• Had way too many sugar cookies. I have a weakness for soft, homemade sugar cookies and Cindy came over and we made some.

The weekend before was my good friend Sarah's wedding. Us girls headed down for the big event and had such a good time. While Sarah was the most beautiful one their- Makenna was the cutest. Thanks Cindy for going with me!

Super Bowl

Steve's family always gets together for the super bowl and is always so fun. I couldn't believe Makenna, it was her big chance to show off her cute smile and she slept the whole time!

Makenna is already practicing for the day she has a cell phone



She just couldn't believe that Pittsburgh won


These are just some random photos taken lately:)

That would be spit bubbles accumulating on her chin!

Someday we'll get shots

OK- I just need to vent for one second! Here is the story, so when Makenna was born Steve and I filled out the necessary papers for her to be added onto the insurance. Last week I decided to call just to make sure she was on since she had her 2 month appt on Friday. They said all was good so on Friday we headed to the Doc's. I had psyched myself up since she would be getting shots and even had the tylenol ready at home. So we go to the doctor's and the nurse asks me if immunizations are covered through our insurance- I told her I didn't know, so she called to find out. (They are) She comes back 20 min. later and tells me that Makenna isn't on the policy! I was so mad- so we pack up and leave w/out getting shots and Steve and I make some calls and they tell me that she should be added Wed (yesterday). So this morning I call to make sure she's on so that we can go get shots and she's still not added! How hard could it be?! At this rate she'll be getting her 2 month shots wil her 4 month shots. Hopefully by next week it will be fixed and we can go get shots.

On a happier note Makenna now weighs 10 lbs 6 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long- she's healthy and doing great!

Happenings as of Late

So the other day I was thinking how completly different my life is compared to 8 weeks ago, nothing is the same and my whole world revolves around one tiny little girl. Here are the happenings of the past week.
1- SOS I need help- Makenna has decided that she no longer can sleep on her own during the day. Here's what happens- She is dead to the world in my arms and the second I lay her down she's wide awake and screaming- I let her scream and an hour later she's still screaming so I pick her up and the whole process starts over again. I'm going crazy so if any one has suggestions let me know!

2.Today is the second day in a row that we've been dressed in the same color (yesterday it was yellow). I don't do this on purpose even though I do dress us both. I'm just glad we're both dressed.

3. I finally got clearance from the Doc that I could go back to the gym. She warned me that it would be hard at first, I didn't really believe her- I was wrong! I could barely "jog" for 15 minutes and situps were almost out of the question, I did do 10. Babies just take it out of ya.

4. Every baby has to have a bath picture!


5. Steve and I got a new vacuum- it's wonderful!

6. My attempt of getting a picture of Makenna smiling:) (Tiff this picture is for you) Makenna has started smiling more than just in her sleep and I love it.

Our Baby in White

Yesterday we blessed Makenna. She looked like a little angel, I didn't want to take her out of her dress because she just looked so cute! The blessing was perfect. All week Steve and I were joking that Makenna would either scream during her blessing, spit up, or get poop on her dress and none of these things happened, she was so quiet (minus some grunting due to her almost rolling out of everyone's arms while being blessed) It was so fun having family and friends over and such a fun day. I can't believe how big my girl is getting- we just love her!
