The Start of Makenna's Fourth Month

Living up to her name, "One that smiles". She lights up the room.

Her expression is priceless. Take that Oatmeal the bear!

Lifting her legs up has become a new thing over the past week.

Yet another face of Makenna. She brings such joy.

Demonstrating to Wayne how she can now "fly". - also new this week

Where is that belly button?

Lovingly staring at her daddy.

It seems like yet another month has come and gone too quickly! 4 months old. Wow. She is becoming quite the rolly polly baby. She is constantly amazing me with her ever changing self and her development. Evan & I were just commenting tonight on how one week she will look more like Evan and others more like me. This week is my week! :) Truthfully, I see us both daily in her, but what really shines through is Makenna. She is like no one else. Makenna looks like her. She is so talkative and observant. She is opinionated and impatient. She loves so willingly and her eyes- well once they have you, you are hers forever. She loves to sing in the car and when it goes quite I know she has sung herself to sleep. If we are walking or driving anywhere there HAS to be music on or she will let you know that there is a problem. There is so much to our little one already and she is still ever changing and growing both physically and emotionally.

On a side note we have some joyous news. Our dear friends the VanQuickenborne's welcomed their second daughter, Iona Pyxis, into the world on Tuesday! Big sister Holden is very excited to finally see the baby mama had in her belly. No doubt Holden will show Iona the ropes...teach her to love books, the beach, the outdoors, and of course the Wayne dog! So looking forward to meeting the newest VQ- one lucky little girl to be born into such an incredible family. Makenna can't wait to meet her new best friend!
