May 6th is here! Happy Birthday Makena!!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY MAKENA!! Here are some pics from the last month. I have had a lot of fun being at home the last two months. At 1 year old Makena is:

Food:
- Loves broccoli, strawberries, yogurt, ice cream (of course that doesn't happen too often)
- Wants a turn with the spoon after every meal.
- Usually has to eat something all by herself before she will eat from a spoon.
- Can drink out of her sippy cup or straw all by herself.

Church:
- Attends class on Sunday morning and has been going to the Nursery while Don and I have attended Financial Peace University Class on Sunday evenings. She always seems to enjoy herself.

Playtime:
- She loves playing and watching other kids play. She doesn't quite understand playing together just yet, but she definitely loves to sit and "take it all in".
- She loves to read her books. It sometimes amazes me how long she will just sit and read her books. This may be the making of "Miss Independent".
- Favorite Book: My First Counting Book (Golden Books)

Family:
- She loves spending time with her family. She is always ready for Daddy to give her hugs when he get home from work and to send him off to work in the morning.
- She loves to rub Uncle Tyler's hair.
- She is starting to know all of her grandparents more and more each time we see them.

Words:
- Dog and something that sounds like "Riggins"
- She has said mama and dada but doesn't seem to use them consistently yet.
- I think she said "All done" at the table the other day.
We go to the Doctor tomorrow so I will post some other stats after that.

Transportation:
- She pushed her stroller now on the carpet and the wood floor, but not walking unassisted yet.
- Crawls everywhere.

Riggins:
- Loves him!! Always wants to put her hands in his mouth.
- Loves feeding him treats.
- Trys to "throw' the ball to him. He doesn't seem to want to chase the 6 inch throw just yet.
- I have also caught her crawling over to him and kissing his face while he is laying down. So sweet! Followed up by kisses from Riggins of course then she pats him on the head.
