I remembered!

So I remembered what I wanted to share on my blog. Plus there are a few other things I want to share that McKenna has done lately that have been funny.

McKenna loves to look at pictures of herself and everyone else. So when we look at pictures of her I say, "That's you" So about a month ago we are looking at some pictures of her and she points to the picture and says, "you!" She thinks her name is you! What have I done. I need to start saying, that is McKenna. I just laughed to myself the first time I heard her say that. I was thinking, how in the world did you pick that up? I would love to know what kind of thinking process goes on in her head.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but I will share it anyway. I have Smalls(the dog) food in the bathroom with a baby lock on the door so she can't get in. Everyone once and awhile I will forgot to close it after smalls is done eating and I will find Mckenna practically laying on her tummy sucking water out of smalls water bowl. She likes to drink like smalls does. Don't worry, I don't let her do this if I see her. Sometimes she will ask me if she can have a drink if we are in the bathroom. Its just so funny to me that she does this.

She has recently gained an obsession for Elmo. She calls him Elno. Its pretty cute. She wants to watch him all day long. I don't have a dvd of him, but I record Sesame street everyday, so she usually ends up watching it on there, but then she has to watch the whole thing. Sometimes she will get bored halfway through sesame street and leave, but when she hears the song for Elmo's world she will come running. We were at DI today and there was an Elmo doll there for $1.00. It was the best dollar we've spent in a long time. She loves it!

I cleaned off out little patio at our apartment. McKenna loves to play out there. She loves to be outside. She also has started climbing up her highchair. I have to keep the tray on there to keep her off of it. She will push it over to the table and use it to get her on the table! She is a smart cookie. Just recently she learned how to strap herself into her highchair.

She is getting more interested in watching movies. Today the Sandlot was on and she watched the whole thing! With a little intermission at the swimming pool. That water was cold! But it didn't bother Mckenna at all. I wasn't going to even put on my suit because I knew it was going to be to cold for me and I can't get in the hot tub, so it would have been silly. She just played on the stairs going back and forth from the hot tub to the swimming pool. She really liked it and didn't want to get out. I can't wait until it gets warmer so I can get in with her. I think she is a fish at heart. She loves the pool! But its cute to watch her watch movies. I wonder if she even understands whats going on? She would have to a little bit to keep her interest right?

She has recently started say "No" to almost everything. Its funny and annoying all at the same time. I know she wants something but she says no. I usually do it for her anyway. She is throwing more fits and screaming more. She is getting into the terrible two's! Oh no!

I got her a little potty a month or so ago. She was pretty interested in sitting on it. She even went pee on it once. She said she had to go potty and ran to the toilet. Now she just plays with it. She likes to put stuff in it. But she did go potty on it again just about a week ago. I haven't started potty training yet, just trying to get her used to the idea. I have a package of panties and I let her put a pair on. She looked so cute. I wanted to get a picture but she wouldn't stand up for me. I think she was embarrassed. The thing that was funny was that she put all 3 pairs on that were in the package. I guess she needed a little extra padding. Made it feel more like a diaper, I guess.

She loves going to nursery. She is the bully in there. That's probably why she likes it. She likes to interact and watch the other kids. More watching then interacting going on I think. Well besides the pushing and hitting and biting she does. And she listens during the music time. I am also in Nursery, but a different nursery. (There are 3 nursery's in our ward. Crazy, I know) And I sing the songs to her and she will do the hand movements with me. That makes me happy that she sits, listens, and hopefully behaves while she is there. I don't know why she likes to bully. I certainly didn't teach her those things.

She says please and thank you. Its the cutest thing, I think, that comes out of her mouth. She always says them in her sweet soft voice. And at random times. Like today, I she wanted me to pick her up, but I didn't want to because I was going to get her some juice and wanted to use both of my hands. But she insisted and I couldn't say no, and she says "thank you" in her cute soft voice! It melted my heart. Its just so precious. She will say it at other times to and it is just as cute. She says please like pease. And she kind of draws it out. She is just so darn cute! She is just growing up so fast, its crazy! She will be 2 in 3 months! I can't believe it. She is turning into a cute little girl!

This small post has turned into a long post. I guess I had more things to share than I thought. I need to write these cute things in here more often so I don't forget.

As for me, I'm feeling good. I'm way more emotional this time around than last time. Its kind of annoying. Also my gag reflexes are in full force. Well only when I brush my teeth, but I never had that with my last pregnancy either. I didn't really have anything going on with my first pregnancy. All of this nausea stuff and being emotional stuff is all new to me. My energy is coming back. I'm not quite as tired all the time, but I do have a few stretch of days when I am more tired than the other days. I will be 15 weeks on Monday(05/17) and I'm starting to look fat. My pants still fit good, but my shirts just make me look a little more plumpy. The dang in between faze. Oh well, I will just have to deal with it for a bit longer. Then I will wish that I was looking plumpy instead of HUGE! Anyway, I just relized that it is after midnight and I have been typing on this thing for almost an hour. (I did look at some other things in between, I'm not that slow of a typer people)

Time for an update

It has come to my attention that it has been a while since I have blogged. So I am here to update my life to everyone. Since my last post,

*Mckenna now goes to nursery
*She talks a lot. She is getting more words in her vocabulary such as, No, Yes, outside, smalls, mama, dada, juice, hello, grandma.
*She understands amazingly. I can talk to her like a normal adult and she will respond as if she understand exactly what I'm talking about. She is so smart.
*She also has learned to climb on the chairs and then onto the table. I have to keep the chairs somewhere else. Then she learned how to climb up onto her high chair then onto the table. She is such a stinker.
*Sometimes when I give her kisses I put my hands on either side of her face. Everyone once and while she will do it to me, its so cute. I feel so loved when she does that.
*She loves to read books and can play well by herself. Even when she has play dates she still plays by herself. One of these days she will get it.
*She likes to color, but only using a pen. She eats the crayons.
*She won't make eye contact with her uncle Doug. Never has, not sure why. She will sit on his lap or let him hold her, but no eye contact. Sorry Doug.
*She doesn't like it when her daddy teases her.

There was something that Mckenna did that I wanted to remember and blog about. But of course I can't remember now. Dang it! I will have to start blogging more often. Maybe one of these days I will remember. She likes to escape and run outside into the parking lot, at the same time letting Smalls out as well.

McKenna on her first day of nursery. Isn't she cute! It has since come to my attention that Mckenna is the bully of the nursery. She likes to hit and pinch. Where did she learn this behavior from?

At her first birthday party of a girl her age. She enjoyed the frosting on this cookie.

She LOVES my computer and its just her size. I try to hid it, but she always finds it somehow.

Just thought this was cute.

I went to take smalls outside and left McKenna with Tucker. This is what the bathroom looked like when I returned. Looks like Tucker was watching her pretty good, huh?? :)

Easter was pretty low key this year. We had her first Easter egg hunt the Friday before. She seemed to enjoy herself. We also celebrated Tuckers birthday on that day with our friends at Johns incredible pizza. It was pretty fun. Saturday we spend at my moms house. Joe and Elle were in town so we went over there for a visit. There was a hunt at a local golf course that we attended on Saturday. Not sure I would call it a hunt, more like a hurry and run for the eggs. On Sunday, Easter, it was pretty low key. It was conference so we stayed in our PJs for a while, then went to Moms house for dinner. It was fun watching McKenna participate in her first Easter. Can't wait for the years to come.

Enjoying her stickers from her basket.

I think I need to take more pictures. I don't think I've taken pictures in about a month. I guess my brain has been out of it a bit. Life has been pretty boring lately. Not much to blog about. Just enjoying our life with McKenna and Smalls. (Can't forget about our first born!) Tucker is busy with work and I'm busy with wife/motherhood. Oh and by the way, I'm pregnant. Due November 8th. Seems sooo far away!
