Wow it's almost been a month...

I am shocked that some how I have managed to go a month without recording anything in the blog. There has been a lot going on. The end of August kicks off football season which is a fun part of the fall but also keeps us busy.

Friday, August 28th - Makena went to her first football game. She watched the Coppell Cowboys take on South Garland. She did wonderful through the game. She slept for a little while and everyone around thought she was the cutest thing every. One lady made the comment "I love those chubby thighs, they look just like mine!!"

Saturday, August 29th - Saturday morning brought more football in the Carroll house. Don's buddies came over completed their annual Fantasy Football Draft. I cooked breakfast for the guys. Makena joined Daddy in the living room for the draft. Actually she just slept which was much to the guys surprise since it was pretty loud. The girl can sleep!! She gets it honestly though...Don and I are pretty good sleepers. :)

After breakfast was complete, Makena and I went to Frisco to meet Dana, Jackson, Jenny, Colten and Caden for a little fun at the mall. Lunch was a little crazy but we loved it. Makena and I did a little shopping for the rest of the afternoon and then headed home. She is an angel!

Friday, September 4th - We headed to the Oaks in preparation for the first Aggie Football game of the season. Makena still travels pretty well. It was a long trip down there due to some traffic but we made it safe and sound. We hung out with Lisa, Michael, Maggie, Brad and Kate. On Saturday, Granny and Uncle Tyler came down because Granny wanted to see her before she left for West Texas. Makena stayed with Granny while we went to the game. They had a wonderful evening. They went for a walk, took a bath and had so great play time before bed.

Makena also turned 4 MONTHS OLD over the weekend! I didn't actually get pics on the 6th but these are from the 5th! HAPPY 4 MONTHS BABY!

Thanks Granny for taking care of our precious bundle. Mommy missed her a lot! Take a look at our little Aggie. She does have a Harding T-shirt too! But no ACU purple yet. I am sure Daddy will take care of that at some point.

On Sunday, we headed back to Ennis to spend a little time with Grammy and Gramps. We celebrated Gramp's Birthday on Monday at lunch. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMPS!! Hope you enjoyed your hamburger. Happy Labor Day...sorry you had to work.
Granny and Uncle Tyler brought this big surprise from Papa. We managed to get a pic while we were at Grammy and Gramps.

Thought this was a cute picture of Daddy, Grammy and Makena. 3 generations! Hope Grammy's computer is still working after Daddy and Makena got through with it.

Tuesday, September 8th - 4 MONTH CHECK-UP

Second round of shots weren't any better than the first round but we made it through. Mommy cuddled her up and the tears stopped pretty quickly. It just breaks your heart. Stats at 4 month:

Weight: 15 lbs 14.5 oz

Length: 26 inches

The doctor said she was great and growing at a perfect rate! We have a wonderful blessing!!

Makena is laughing a lot, making lots of sounds, and rolling over some. She moves around and night. It has become common for her to be laying across her bed. She is also starting to notice us eating and is watching Riggins a lot.

Hopefully I'll get everyone caught up soon.

One special note for tonight Makena actually sat up on her changing table using her arms as stablizers. I tried to get pictures later on the couch after she ate (she wasn't going to wait any longer), but she didn't last as long as she did on the changing table. I'll post those pics later.
