3 Months and Makena finds her voice

This week has been a busy week. Last weekend was spent in Rising Star with Granny and Papa (this name is ever changing...I guess Makena will be the judge). We got there late Friday night and hung out for a little while before bed time. On Saturday we just hung out around the house and then went to Abilene to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate Tyler and Dad's birthday. We went ran a couple of errands and then headed back home. We played Ticket to Ride. I think I scored the all time low score! On Sunday we went to church and then went to Aunt Debbie and Uncle Bobby's for lunch with the Chambers crew. Here is Granny, Papa, and Makena on Sunday morning before church.

April with Makena. She loves all of her family!!

This week was Mommy's first full week back to work and Makena turned 3 MONTHS OLD!! On her 3 month birthday Makena spent it with Mommy at a girls night with the ladies from Wednesday night bible study. Little Heidi Gscheidle and Makena got to spend time with the ladies. It was great even though we were delayed getting there due to a late feeding. She actually ended up not eating and sleeping instead. On Friday Makena started to experience some congestion. Only one week at school and we have a runny nose, but maybe she would have gotten it anyways. She is still sleeping and eating ok so hopefully it doesn't get any worse. Another milestone this week includes Miss Makena finding her voice. She really has a voice and has lots of very distinct ooo's and ah's. She seems to be telling her own little story. I also haven't mentioned this before but she loves to stand (with support of course). Seems to be something that some babies don't develop until later but she has been doing it a lot. She likes to put a little weight on her feet. She is still pretty laid back, but there is some pretty intense screaming from time to time. We love watching her change and grow. It is happening so fast!
