A work in progress...

I entitled this blog a work in progress because I have been working on this for about 2 weeks now and every time I sit down to start typing a certain cute little baby thinks my attention needs to be solely focused on her and not blogging but I'm not going to mention any names.

So first of all, Makenna is 2 months old already! That certainly flew by fast for me! She had her two month well check on the 26th and weighed in at 9 pounds 10.5 ounces and measured 21.5 inches long, which puts her in the 20th percentile for both height and weight. She's a little on the petite side but she has been gaining weight steadily so her Dr isn't concerned. Makenna is right on track development wise and is perfectly healthy. She received her first round of immunizations which she was NOT thrilled about. I was so nervous for her but she really did better than I thought she would. Thank goodness for Tylenol though. The picture below is the pathetic look she gave me all day, she just looked so sad!

A couple weeks ago, we went to visit Nick's family. It was a busy weekend! Amie had her 14th birthday so we got to celebrate her big day, Nick's dad was released as bishop of their ward, and Brook was the lead in his high school's musical production of Kiss Me Kate. The musical was the first time Nick and I went out without Makenna. I almost started crying as we were leaving his parents house but then I realized we will both survive for a couple hours and I did, and well so did she! Nick's Mom got to babysit and she said she had a lot of fun. Brook was absolutely incredible! He has really matured as a singer and actor since his performance in guys and dolls last year. We were so proud of him and just in awe of his talent! Way to go Brook!

In other news, Makenna smiles now! This is her on St. Patty's day, dressed all festive in her green with a cute grin on her face.

She certainly couldn't be pinched on St. Patrick's day.

Makenna got a new dress, and I think she looks SUPER cute in it.

She has also recently discovered her hands taste delicious and has them almost always in her mouth.

Nick and I are both doing good also. For Nick, dirt bike season has begun. Last weekend he had an overnight trip with his friends Brian and Freddie. They had a lot of fun and are looking forward to another trip in two weeks. Nick's birthday is coming up and he is going to Boston with his Dad, Mom and brother Brook in couple of weeks. I am enjoying my last couple of weeks home with Makenna before I head back to work on April 22nd. I am so blessed that I have been able to spend so much time home with her. I also am blessed to have a job that I enjoy, it makes the thought of going back to work happy and I am not dreading it at all.
