How did 9 months fly by so quickly? I have no idea... we definitely do not have a little baby anymore, but a big girl who is rapidly approaching toddlerhood. Mckenna seems to be doing something new and fun every single day. Like I said in the previous post, she now has 4 teeth - two middle lowers and uppers. She loves to clap, play patty-cake, wave hello and bye-bye, smile, giggle, crawl and explore, pull herself up on furniture, play with toys and look at every little detail like grooves or little holes, hold the toothbrush to brush her own teeth, play with Nemo, and throw her hands up in the air when you ask her, "How big are you, Mckenna?" She loves watching other kids and gets a special kick out of those she really loves, like her cousins and grandparents. She is such a sweetheart - very calm and mild-mannered, very cheerful, with what seems like an ultra sunny disposition on life. She is healthy and happy, and we feel very blessed to have her in our lives!
Here are a few pictures of Mckenna from the last few weeks, ending in pictures from her 9-month pediatrician visit yesterday. I hope seeing her makes you smile like it does for us! :)
Here are Mckenna's 9 (and a half) month stats: 20 lbs, 6 oz. (73rd percentile), 29 inches long (88%) and 18 inches head circumference (89%). I have to throw the head measurement in there because Matt thinks it's kind of funny... we Person family members tend to have rather large noggins. :)
When I was holding Mckenna on my lap, she would look at the doctor every few seconds with curiousity as he was listening to her heart and lungs. Pretty cute...
Getting her finger pricked to check her hemoglobin... she didn't make a peep about the pinch!
Another pediatrician visit, another Dora bandaid. The nurse told us to make sure to take the bandaid off of her finger before we got in the car because she might try to eat it. Smart, I would've never thought of that! :)
