20 Months for Makena

In 20 months, a girl does a lot of changing. As a mom, I know there will be so many more changes to experience and am looking forward to every one of them. Makena is really growing up. This month has brought on more words, more opinions, and more laughs than a mom could ever wish for. She loves to be tickled and tickle herself....yes, tickle herself. Usually the tickling herself takes place in her high chair after a meal. She says "tickle, tickle" and then tickles her belly, which usually is followed by a big belly laugh. She is precious!!

Makena loves seeing her friends at church, ladies bible class, and small group. Her nightly routine still includes a bible story, story of choice, a prayer and sometimes a song. She goes to bed really easy most of the time as long as her paci and blanket are nearby.

She is continuing to perfect her ball throwing with Riggins, who has yet another new name. First it was "dog", then "Gins", then "Ruff, ruff", now "riggins".

We had pictures taken before Brooklyn's arrival and I thought these really captured my little...soon to be not so little....girl.
