Cute As A Bug

Today while sister was at Joy School, McKenna helped me pull down the boxes of girl clothes to take inventory of the Fall clothing wardrobe status, and guess what we found!


Yup, still darling.
There really just isn't much in the world that's better than a baby in a costume.  It feels like it was forever ago that Brinlee wore this thing...


  I can't believe McKenna is already big enough for it.  Then again, she is a big girl.


She was 10 months old on Sunday.  
Yes that's right, 10!  Let me update you on some of her new tricks.

When we say "McKenna, where's your belly belly?", she pats her tummy.
She claps her hands when you say “yay!”
When we say “La, la, la”, she sticks out the pointiest little tongue you've ever seen and says “La, la, la” in the sweetest little voic
She unfortunately loves to get into the toilet paper and toilet bowl water.
She has recently decided she loves to bend forward and stick her whole face in her bath water, and thinks it's really funny when she comes up spluttering. 
She loves to crawl onto a blanket that is laid out for her and wait to be bundled.  
She is starting to get better about having books read to her, and we have started to find her sitting in piles of books looking through them herself.
She crawls up the stairs, but is so far too scared to even attempt coming back down.
She LOVES to look at pictures and videos of herself and of Brinlee. 
She loves to play peek-a-boo, loves to play chase, loves to wrestle with Brinlee, and loves to crawl around with toys and clothes in her mouth like a puppy.
She loves to get into cupboards, loves to be in the fridge, and loves to climb on the little couch and dishwasher door.
She loves to hear music and dances to anything close to having a tune or beat (including the sound of the running dishwasher and clothes dryer). She will also pull out some moves when you say "dance McKenna, rather music is on or not. Her favorite song is "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam".
She has stacked a few blocks a time or two, and she loves to try to put on Brinlee's panties and shoes.
She's a pretty good fit thrower and doesn't take much bullying from Brin.
She pulls herself up to everything and cruises along furniture pretty quickly, but she has only done the wobbly little free-stand a couple times.

Oh!  And she has 2 teeth!  Ignore the devastated "I want to hold the camera and mom won't let me. She's the worst!" face that she has on in this shot, but this is so far the best picture of her little chompers that we've been able to get.


Oh she is the cutest.  She's happy, and smiley, and cuddly, and basically just the best.
And we love her!

  1. Too cute.
    Picture number 1 and number 2 --- reveals that these two are indeed sisters. There is something strikingly similar in their little faces sticking out of that ladybug costume at about the same age.
