Chatty Kinzie

McKinzie has made us laugh the past few weeks with her constant chatter - music to our ears! She is starting to be able to tell us what she wants with either the actual word or a McKinzie word. Yesterday morning she asked for a cracker! Kinz also loves to recline anywhere she finds a soft pile - her toy bin, fresh laundry, pillows - she cracks us up with her snuggling skills!

You can't catch me!

McKinzie has become quite the speed demon! She loves to run around! It took both of us spotting her last night as she cruised around the yard - it was great! If you can tell from her close up picture, McK has taken a few tumbles - into a rose bush and onto the driveway! But as we've experienced from day one, she's not going to give up! McKinzie also surprises us with her feats of strength! She picks up and carries or drags the craziest stuff around the house!

Family Fun!

We had a blast with Grandma Judy, Kaylynn and Landon! The dogs even got in on the fun with our outings to the bark park. McKinzie had her first Easter egg hunt at Uncle Jake's house! (McK's attention span was about 5 minutes - enough to get fun pictures!) We sure love and miss you guys!!

Mirror, mirror on the wall

We had a great time celebrating Andy's birthday! You make 30 look fabulous!! McKinzie may have thought it was her day when Andy installed her very own full length mirror!

Sweet Giggles

McKinzie giggles every time she watches this video! She loves playing airplane, swinging on the swing and hammock, diving into piles of pillows - as she says Go Go Go! Tons of fun for us! We're looking forward to hearing nonstop giggles when Grandma Hall, Kaylynn and Landon arrive!!

McKinzie likes to carry around her morning coffee mug, just like her mom! Mom, however, doesn't look quite as adorable at 6 am!

On the go!

McKinzie is now on the charts -10th percentile for both length and weight!! 30 inches and 20 lbs! We're praying that she stays well through the rest of this cold and flu season as her lungs grow and develop. Last year she received monthly shots to help her fight off RSV http://www.rsvprotection.com/ This web link will give you all the details about RSV (we didn't know what it was before either!) and why we're being so protective with McKinzie's health! Insurance denied us the preventative shots this year - so our new team of docs in Houston are telling us to be cautious until RSV cases in the local hospitals are down (the end of flu season). From the pics you can tell we're still having a blast! McK loves to run, laugh and play!
