Approaching Makenna's First Month

Since our last posting life with Makenna has been filled with many firsts. In this time Evan has also returned to work after three weeks of paternity leave while Makenna, Wayne and I have adjusted to life without him during the day. We have missed him. Thank goodness for three day weekends! That made the transition much easier.

Makenna met her Uncle Paul and Aunt Shannon. They were a huge hit as Makenna gave her seal of approval with producing a special present for Paul! It was so great having them over!!

Grandma Sue came down for the weekend to get her Makenna fix. She also brought my newborn photo for a little comparison.

This past Saturday we took a day trip up to Seattle to meet up with my college friend Mike and his girlfriend Carrie. This day was filled with firsts for Makenna. Her first time to Alki Beach, meeting her Uncle Mike, seeing a lighthouse, boat ride and visit to Seattle.



It was another gorgeous day in Olympia yesterday so we packed up the munchkin and met Grandpa Steve & Grandma DelRae at the local pool. An afternoon of just relaxing as we soaked up our years worth of Vitamin D was just what we needed before heading into another week. Lathered in sunscreen Makenna slept under the protection of the shade. Sporting her pink and brown whale swimsuit (her very first) she went swimming for the first time! She reacted better than her first bath, so here is hoping that she will grow to love the water as much as Evan, Wayne & I do!
