Wow, I can't believe it. Our little princess is growing up so fast. Everyone always said they did, and I've seen it with Aubrey, but it didn't really hit home until I had one of my own.

As most of you know, Makenna almost slept through her first Christmas. Glad she didn't miss all the family and fun! I'm relieved that she wasn't in attendance for karaoke night and isn't haunted by the singing of Scott :)

Well, she can't stop smiling (ear to ear) and always seems to be in excellent spirits. We just had our 6 month well visit with Dr. Rao (same doctor that used to keep me healthy). Makenna has really blossomed; she is weighing in at 15 lbs. 3.2 oz. and is 25 1/4" tall. It must be all the solid foods that she is eating. It's even made her hair grow to amazing lengths.

Now that she has learned to control her hands, I sometimes find it difficult to feed her as she is always trying to do it herself. Little miss independent!

February 14, Valentine's Day, brought several feet of snow to the area. However, we all made the best of it and spent a cozy day at home together. Makenna donned a knitted sweater set that a close colleague of mine made especially for her. I'll miss her when she retires in a couple of months.

Take care and God bless!
