Makenna's First Wedding

On Saturday one of Evan's college friends got married. This marked Makenna's first wedding! She did wonderfully and I have to say her parents didn't do a bad job either! Just as John & Kara exchanged their vows, shit literally hit the fan or in this case Evan's pants!! We were just sitting there watching their beautiful wedding unfold when a bird pooped right on the leg of Evan's pant, missing my head by a few inches. Shortly after Makenna began to stir after being sound asleep in her car seat. I quickly removed her before it became a full on wail. Crisis adverted and with Makenna calmed down we returned just as they were pronounced husband and wife. Thankfully her little peep was not noticed by anyone. It was a beautiful ceremony and wonderful to finally meet John & Kara whom I had heard so much about.

Over the past week Makenna has begun to smile and her baby "talk" has increased with more coo's and ahh's. She has found her hands while continuing to remove her binkie, although she still hasn't figured out how to put it back in her mouth! I was treated two nights in a row last week with 7 solid hours of sleep! Makenna has always been a great sleeper, logging 4-5 hours blocks during the night. Lately it seems that gas has been plaguing our wee one. We met a couple at the wedding with a 2 year old and an 8 week old that both had/have gas issues and she recommended an over the counter gas relief medicine. Last night was the first night using it and it seems to have helped as she didn't wake up screaming in pain only to have me pick her up expelling a massive "toot" from her little body.
