Snapshots from November

It's been another busy month in the Oderman household!  We are all adjusting to the winter weather that has arrived & it becoming darker earlier in the evening.  In the last couple of weeks Makenna's vocabulary, which was already large, as just taken off.  She has become a little parrot.  I've long lost track of how many words she can say or knows.  Last week she said her name for the very FIRST time!  Clear as day!!  Not only is her mouth moving a mile a minute, but her body is TOO.  This girl is BUSY.
We recently bought a potty for Miss Makenna.  She has taken quite an interest in Lucas' potty and his potty endeavours.  So for the time being we are "practicing" with clothes on.  For a while she has been telling us when she is going "peepee" or "poo".  Now, we simply ask if she wants to sit on her potty.  Sometimes she even insists on it- although we don't know if she is really going during that time.


Her love for Wayne continues to grow.  Poor pup I think gets overwhelmed with her "love" and attention.  Thankfully, he keeps an escape route within sight and uses it when necessary.

Trotting along wearing her rings as bangles.

Always clowning around.  She sure does love to be upside down.

Just recently she has become interested in stacking blocks, rings and working with her shape sorter.  Her first love however still remains books.  Our little bookworm loves to be read to and is also quite content reading to herself.


Our little helper first picked up leaves with momma & dada then decided it was time to sweep.

The joys of a broom.

Her smile lights up even the greyest of days.


Trying the push method.

Loves for Wayne.  If you are on the ground she will get you and she always goes for the head!

Full on Makenna tackle hug.  Poor Wayne lasted a few more moments before retreating under her high chair.  He is such a tolerant and loving pup.
