Go COLTS! and Six Weeks Old Today

Hanging out with Makenna

Here are some pics from the last week. We're starting to notice that Makenna is paying more attention to things around her. She's looking at the mobile on her swing, starting to reach for toys, and focusing on objects on the wall. We're hoping to borrow a play mat from our friend Susie soon - I think Makenna will love it!

Pic taken after her first trip to church. She did really well!

Grabbing a toy on her bouncy chair.

Tummy time!

Check out these glasses - hilarious! I bought these for her in the baby section but they are obviously waaay too big! She definitely takes after her mommy in that she does not like the sun in her eyes.

One Month Birthday!

Makenna is now one month old!


Brad bought Makenna flowers and a cake for her one month birthday! He is such a thoughtful daddy. (We ate the cake for her). She was so surprised. :-)


Cute outfit!


Sitting up like a big girl!



Makenna loves to sleep in her boppy. She won't sleep in the crib or cradle, so this is where she ends up most nights.

Just Another Day in Paradise

Its been quite a while since we posted anything on here. Apparently, Brad and I aren't much better at blogging now that Makenna is here than we were before. In our defense, she is wearing us down! No, she is really great, but seriously, we will be soooo happy when she gets on a sleeping schedule (one that doesn't require that Brad or I stay up all night). Right now we are taking turns staying up with her - sometimes she sleeps most of the night, other nights she screams the night away. I thought that staying home with her would be easy breezy - haha! Between feeding and diapers and the screaming, I'm not getting much of anything else done but taking care of Makenna. The dishes definitely aren't getting done, the clutter is taking over and to top it off, our washing machine is broken!

We did take her to get newborn pictures taken. I think she was nine days old when they were taken and we went to view them last week. They turned out very cute.
