Baby N is doing well. She's growing like a weed. She went from 6lb12oz to 11lb8oz in two months. Almost 5 pounds! She looks like a different child. She is about the smiliest baby you'll ever meet - giving gummy grins to anyone that will look at her happily. She is getting stronger and stronger. It's fun to watch her progress from such a tiny little thing to a strong, chunky monkey.
Mckenna adores her. It's so fun to watch them together. Mckenna can't get enough, baby N usually has her fill within a few minutes of their interactions. But just when you think baby N is slightly terrified by what may unfold when Mckenna approaches, you catch her staring at Mckenna from across the room, with a giant smile, trying to get her attention. It's pretty sweet. Mckenna tells her she loves her several times a day, usually accompanied by tight, overwhelming hugs!
Mckenna is growing up too fast. In just the last few weeks she seems to have aged several years. She is such a little girl these days, no toddler-ness to be found. She is about the most tender-hearted little sweetheart. She is so caring and loving. Yet, she has a fire about her that give her the attitude of a thousand inmates. That girl has got SPUNK. It's a challenge to parent, but will serve her well in life...assuming we don't blow it, and she ends up an inmate ;-) Lately, she loves to spend time playing outside, going for walks, playing at the park, coloring, dancing, reading books and doing Where's Waldo. I'm not sure what it means, but she usually finds things before I do. How she can so quickly spot a tiny little wizard so quickly, I will never know. The wizard is her favorite find.
Ronnie is doing well. Unfortunately, the girls have each had a few colds (I think I have sucked baby N's nose out every day for her entire existence), and Ronnie, has gotten each of them. However, I think he is on the mend. We are hoping that since spring has sprung, there will be less colds brought into the house. Though I have to say, I do enjoy seeing him dead asleep (thanks, Nyquil), and stumbling through our room to get up for his turn to feed baby N. I'm fairly certain most nights he had no idea he was actually standing up and walking. He's about as happy as ever, since March Madness is in full force. It's his favorite time of year.
As for me? I, thankfully, didn't catch a single cold that the girls brought home (thank you superhero immune system)!
Pictures from the week:
Keni took a crazy fall at the park...silver lining? I got snuggles!
I had to smile that she tried to fix it, but man it was hard to get more than a square!
Ronnie had Mckenna pick a bracket - he gave her the two teams, she would pick. Then she was sure she needed to write one of her own!
With March Madness in full swing, this is what is looks like at our house whenever Ronnie is on daddy duty.
