February 2010

Here are a few pictures from the beginning of February at Mckenna's 16-month check-up at the pediatrician. Matt had to work during the appointment, but my mom was able to come with Mckenna and I, which was helpful. It is always fun to see her sit in this little car seat looking scale, but she's definitely not a baby anymore - she's growing so fast!


Even though these are old numbers now, here are Mckenna's 16-month stats:
weight: 24 lbs, 15 oz. (76th percentile), height: 31.5 inches (75%), head circumference: 18.8 inches (90%) She's a healthy girl!


Clothes back on, ready to go.


That evening, February 2nd, we went to the hospital to see Carter's new baby sister! Her name is Reagan Makall (and no, Carter and Reagan are not political names on purpose - Nicole and Tim just liked the names), 7 lbs. 11 oz., 20.5 inches long. It was fun to go back to Fairview Southdale and to walk in and tell Mckenna that this is where she was born. I guess she'll be back here again around her 2-year birthday to welcome a new sister or brother! :)


This day there was a Valetine's party at Mckenna's daycare. I tried to get a good picture of her cute Valentine's outfit before we left the house that morning, but it was easier said than done. Check out those cute heart tights!


Cuties! I've said this before, but I love that they celebrate holidays at daycare. Everyone brought everyone else valentine cards, including Mckenna, and had some treats. Fun!


These next three pictures make me laugh. Mckenna and her reading books is cute as always, but keep your eye on the kind of book she is reading (one of her favorites, called "Dogs"), and watch Nemo closely. Right now she is just lazily hanging out with her favorite friend, Mckenna...


"Hey, I think Mckenna's trying to read to me... maybe I should pay attention!"


"I'm really into this dog book!" :)


Cute bath picture. She had RSV and a really runny, raw nose, poor girl. But we can almost always get a smile from her at bathtime.


Shopping at the Mall of America. Of course we had to stop and play with the hair accessories at Nordstroms. :)


Craig and Karen stopped by for a short visit after being at the cabin in Wisconsin and volunteering at the Birkebeiner. It was cold but a nice sunny day, so we took a walk in the neighborhood. Mckenna seems to like riding in her wagon.


All bundled up! Can you tell that these two proud grandparents love their little sweetie?

It was nice to be able to see Karen and Craig for a few days in February, and also hang out in Chicago and see the Johnsons in March over our spring break. Fun pictures of that week coming up in the next post!
