Little Walker

Remember how I said McKenna just took her first step?  Well tonight she was determined to actually WALK. I tried to get it on film by myself but it wasn't working out so I had to wait until Richard could help me and by that time she was super tired and ready to just go to bed and this was the best we got.  Either that or she just wasn't as impressed with her walking as we were!  

Grandma Fun

Kaylee (and let's be honest, me too) has started to measure time by the amount of days until our next visitors come.  Luckily, we've had our fair share of amazing visitors and this last week we were happy to have Mom come and stay with us.  It was a whirlwind four days and went by WAY too fast but we were still able to pack a lot in.  In addition to making her do all my crafts with me, walks, treats, shopping, errands, and games we visited the zoo:

(Kaylee wanted to get her picture taken on every single statue but would NOT look at the camera when we were in front of an actual animal!)

went to a pumpkin patch:

had another Theme Night- this time Spain style! It included a bullfight

a soccer match

a sad sad version of Flamenco dancing and our own tasty Spain flags made out of sugar cookies. 

We also painted pumpkins:

(or in Kenna's case, ate the pumpkins)

And Kenna was even able to show off for Grandma and take her very first steps!  So far she has taken a record two steps in a row but she seems pretty hesitant to try more.  Even so, she is VERY close to actual walking and I'm sure it won't be long now!  Thanks for a great visit Mom!  Now to start the countdown to our next visitor in about a month!!!  

Gangham Style

I'm slightly ashamed that this was even playing in our house....but Richard thought that Kaylee would think it was funny so we turned it on to show her.  However, what we didn't expect was that McKenna would love it even more!  She has never tried to dance or bounce along to music and didn't seem to have much interest in it but I guess she is a Gangham Style fan! The ENTIRE time this song was on (and yes we listened to it more than once) she was laughing hysterically and the second Richard would let go of her she would crawl over to him and wave her arms like crazy and bounce because she wanted to dance more!  It was adorable.  I guess Psy has a new biggest fan!
