McKenna had her shots yesterday. I was nervous about it all day long and the day before. But everything turned out fine. When they put the needles in her face got so red. I've never seen it turn that shade before, then again she has never cried that hard either. She did really good. She cried for about 5 minutes, then fell asleep. When she woke up is was smiling and talking. Every once and a while she would cry, I could tell she was a little uncomfortable. But with tylonel in hand, over all she did really really well. I was quite pleased.
She now weights 11lbs and 14 oz and is 23 1/2 inches long. She is growing quite well. I love her chubby arms, legs, and cheeks. She is beautiful.
McKenna is a very alert little girl. She is always looking around. Takes good naps and is awake for good periods as well. She sleeps through the night, which I love. My goal now is to get her to go to bed before 11:30. I've only gone to bed once before midnight, and it was at 10:00. It was wonderful. That night she slept for 9 hours. She holds up her head really good and tried to pull herself up so she can sit up. Her legs are getting stronger. She likes to stand for a little time, but her feet are still turned inward a bit. So it makes it harder. Not sure if she likes being on her belly that much, but she likes sitting in her bouncer and on the floor. She is such a good baby, I feel so blessed to have her in my life!

She's adorable. congrats on surviving the first shots. A nice trick is to give them the tylenol about a half-hour before the appointment so that it's already working by the time they get stuck...if you want to try it.
That's so awesome that she's already a good sleeper! I just hope for your sake that she continutes that during teething!
I knew you would survive. It is always worse for us moms then the kids I think. I love all the pics of McKeena. She is beautiful. I can't wait to see her next month. I love the back ground also.
Man, Ethan didn't sleep through the night until he was 6 months old! You are so lucky. Thank goodness for baby tylenol when they get shots huh?
I haven't seen pictures in a while. She is SOOO CUTE!!!! Her blessing dress was beautiful. We miss you guys. Hope all is well.
She is so cute. Her blessing dress looked like Brooklyn's! I love the picture from her shots. I wanted to get a pic of Brooklyn but when my dad was watching her he said one bandaid fell off and we never found the other one. So cute!!
