We have a walker!

I figured if I waited to update on Makenna's new skill I may never get the video downloaded as there would be too much else to update on with her 1 year update so enjoy the extra update! 

Lil Miss Makenna has figured out how to walk.  She had been taking steps for quite some time, but when she'd realize she was "walking" on her own she would immediately plop herself down to the floor.  Of course she thought she should show off her walking skills to her Daddy first while Mommy was at work....in turn I didn't believe Daddy at first.  The official date of walking began April 24th, but the stories Dad had were from earlier in the week, and the steps probably go back to the beginning of the month?  Its so hard for me to keep it all straight and of course I haven't been good about writing it down on her calendar....which some day she'll chew me out for, but I'm only human!

The other night I finally realized we hadn't video taped Makenna walking yet so I did right before bed time and she wasn't impressed...so she really doesn't cry when she walks, just when she's tired and Mom makes her do things for the camera.  Enjoy!  Next week (maybe!) we'll have a 1 year update...can't figure out where the last year has gone.

Sibling Love

I love watching my babies interacting together, especially when they don't know I'm watching.  They both love each other so much.  One of my favorite things is at bed time. Makenna typically goes to bed first and before she goes to bed she has to get all of her good night kisses. When I put her down at Denver level to get a kiss she snuggles her head into him and smiles and he giggles! I love it! Denver watches out for Makenna and if she's crying he has to go check on her or come and tell me that some thing is wrong. Makenna has to be where ever Denver is and doing whatever he is doing. Thus she has become mobile! Makenna now crawls all over the place and is working very hard on walking. She walks very well pushing something, putting her hand on a wall or whatever is close for her to help her if she looses her balance, or by hanging onto some one's hand (or hands). She has taken several steps, probably the most being 4 at a time, but once she realizes she's doing it on her own she plops herself to the ground. Denver's been sharing his toys with Makenna which has been hard, but he's adjusting quite well. Makenna loves Denver's 4 wheeler and has learned how to go forwards and backwards. Both of the kids love to be outside, so we spend as much of our time outside as we can and have really enjoyed the nice weather lately. Our bike rides to the park to play have begun and if Denver had his way they would take place every night and if Makenna could talk she would probably be chiming in with him.  Her are some pictures of the sibling love my babies share!
