Makenna's 18 Month Mark!

I can't believe that Makenna's 18 month "birthday" (November 5th) has come and gone and that she's surpassed the age that Denver was when she was born.  While I miss my little baby who I could rock to sleep and snuggle up with I'm enjoying having a girl to do the things I know, from my days growing up as a little girl!

Makenna is a very smart little girl.  She knows exactly what she wants and she will NOT give up until she gets it.  Due to this stubborness she's spent lots of "Kenna Time" in her crib straightening herself back out realizing she really can't always get what she wants.  That brings me to her crib...she's still in it, which seems so strange to me as Denver was out of it way before 18 months because we had to give it to Makenna.  There are days I feel she's ready and would absolutely love her crib turned into a toddler bed, but right now we want to keep her little and to be able to put her in there and stay there!!  Makenna has really started to take more of a liking to all of her babies.  She's always loved them, but now she carries them around, feeds, burps, and rocks them along with giving them stroller rides. 

She pretty much says every thing, at least what she needs to get out, although she would rather just whine until some one figures out what she wants and gives it to her.  We keep reminding her she knows her words and she needs to use them.  She also knows a majority of the animals and all the sounds they say, along with her main body parts with her favorite being the nose.

Kenna is a tough little girl and its takes a lot to take her out of the "game" for very long.  She LOVES to play with her brother and plays all the things he loves to play along with hunting deer and coyotes!  She loves animals, her favorite probably being a puppy with kitties close behind.  She is also a very curious girl and wants to know how everything works!

This little girl loves food and will eat almost anything, but does well with moderation!  If only she could teach her mommy how to do that too!  She's growing well, but has slowed down, probably do to her business!  She doesn't sit still.  At Makenna's 18 nmonth appointment she weighed 22 lbs 7oz. (~25%) and was 31.75inches (~55%) tall.

Here are some pictures of our beautiful 18 month old girl from her photo shoots to capture this special age!
