The last few months

Not to much has happened in the last few months. Just trying to get threw this pregnancy. I will be glad when its done.

Here are some random pictures of Mckenna. Her 2 year old personality is really starting to come out. She is still sweet as ever, but that terrible two side is starting to shine more and more. It makes for a very challenging day.


I've been writing down a list of things that McKenna has been doing in the last few months. Here are a few:
She is obsessed with picking her nose. Its gross and she even will eat it.
She will spit on people ever so often, another gross habit. Not sure where she is picking up of these.
If you ask her what she dreamed about, she will say "bubbles." I'm came up with that one all by herself.
She is really starting to talk well.
She loves to sing the songs she learns in nursery. Just recently she wants me to play them on the piano and she will sing along.
We started potty training her back in Sept. It has been going really well. We almost go accident free when it comes to peeing. She will still not go poop on the toilet. No one tells you how frustrating this process can be.
Over the past couple months, sleeping has been a trail for us. She wouldn't go to sleep, She wouldn't sleep in her bed. She would just fight going to sleep, then she would usually fall asleep on the floor. During the night she would come into our bed. I've been trying to think of solutions to this. I stopped giving her naps, I made a "bed" on the floor. That actually worked for a little bit. But I have finally got her a big girl bed. This seems to be working the best. She will fall asleep in it and stay in it, for the most part, all through the night. I now take her back into her bed if she comes in during the night. It seems to be working. Keeping my fingers crossed.
She has learned to peddle the wheels on her new bike. She still can't figure out how to turn at the same time.
She is learning to pray better. She will repeat what I say and sometimes she will say a prayer on her own and say the things that I usually have her say. Its really cute.
She loves to pretend she is talking on the phone. She will have little conversations and laugh. Makes you wonder what is going on in her head.
She has mastered the skill of putting a movie into the DVD player and starting it all on her own. She likes to watch Toy Story, All the Tinkerbell movies, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Its a little scary how she can pick up on things just by watching me.
She loves sticker books
She can get herself dressed, for the most part.
Just in the past few weeks she has started the "why?" phase. Oh my gosh, this is a very annoying word.
She is still the bully in the nursery at church. That is a work in progress.

Moving on to more exciting things. Here is our trip to the pumpkin patch. It was pretty fun. She enjoyed walking around, looking at all the animals, and picking out her pumpkin. There wasn't to much to do at this patch. I think next year we will try a different one.

Sandy (Tucker's mother), McKenna, and I went to Applehill. We got some apples to make apple sauce. Yummy..it turned out good. Grandma Sandy treated McKenna to a pony ride. She LOVED it. Has a smile on her face the whole time.

For halloween McKenna was Tinkerbell. She de-seeded her first pumpkin. Took a few minutes for her to stick her hand inside the pumpkin. I forgot how gross it really is. Next year I think we will stick to painting the pumpkins, instead of craving them.

Here is McKenna with her Tinkerbell bed. I found this bed frame on craigslist for $20 dollars! I couldn't pass up that deal.

Here is a picture I took of my pregnant self last week. I'm due on Wednesday, 11/17. I sure hope she will make her appearance this week.

Last but not least, we bought a new car for me! Well not new new, but new to me. Its a Chevy suburban. Its HUGE, and I love it. So much nicer than my last car. It was a nice surprise by my hubby. Its taken a little bit to get used to driving this vehicle, but I'm getting the hang of it.
