Although Makenna's first Independence Day brought lots of rain and unseasonably cool weather, she often sports the colors of this great nation. God Bless everyone, especially those who serve and protect (past, present, and future) our home, the USA!
As for her milestones, once she got going she doesn't want to stop.
- May 22 -- (one week before her 9 mo. appointment with Dr. Rao) two bottom teeth emerged
- Jun 16 -- (day before Father's Day) and she's off...she's mastered crawling and won't let anything stand in her way (ok, so we were wrong about her skipping the crawling phase)
- July 2 -- now that she's found how quickly she can get around, Makenna's beginning to pull herself up on her feet (I can't imagine how tired Russ will be when she starts walking...he thinks she moves too fast now!)
Makenna scored excellent marks at her May 29 appointment with Dr. Rao. She is currently weighing in at 18 lbs. 3.2 oz. and is a lenghty 27 inches.
Makenna, lovingly nicknamed "Pickle" (resulting from the independent, I want that and I want it now personality that she is developing), is the light of our lives; she always has a smile on hand, ready to brighten your day. Although she may be a "mommy's girl" most of the time, she certainly has a place in her daddy's heart (and arms).
We can't wait to see everyone for the wedding festivities in September and will save some time to hold a family first birthday celebration for our princess.

We will be down in September but not sure for how long so if you just plan the event, we'll make sure to be there!

P.S. I am home alone this holiday weekend trying to get this #@&# project done for school. Boo Hoo
The good news is I am going to start getting paid for work and will continue on with them on a 'project' basis which looks like it will be pretty much full time. Work is quite challenging and wipes me out mentally everyday.
