LONG OVERDUE UPDATE!!!

Makenna is now almost 10 months old. Wow how time flies! We just calendared the date for her first birthday party...INSANE! She is waving, clapping, bouncing (she bobbs up and down in place), clicking her tongue, signing milk, all-finished, and blowing a kiss, AND still smiling up a storm. She still is not "crawling" but is mobile! Basically she army-crawls with her legs and arms pulling herself along the floor. She also often wiggles and rolls her way around a room. She is sleeping 12 hours at night and naps about 4 hours a day. She is growing up fast!


Here are some high lights and low lights over the last few months...

Makenna went to the SF Zoo with Mommy, Daddy, the Pozzi girls, and Grandma Esther.

Makenna had her first round of the flu. She woke up about an hour after she went to sleep and had thrown up all over her crib, blankets, pajamas, and carpet. You would have thought that she was pretty miserable until we put her into the sink to wash her up. She was splashing, laughing, and smiling in the water. Daddy played with her and cleaned her up while I cleaned up the barf...not really a fair trade...

Drew and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary in August. Unfortunately Drew was at a leadership seminar all day, so Makenna and I met him up at Church on the Hill for a picnic lunch. It was beautiful! The church grounds overlooked the whole city.

In the month of August we had two weddings. Drew performed his first wedding. Makenna had her first overnight with Grammy and Bampa. We also had Will and Jenny's wedding. It was Makenna's first wedding, she looked adorable. I have no pictures to show for it yet...soon enough though. Grandma Wanda and Auntie Monica came down from Washington and Idaho for the wedding. We were able to have lunch together and throw Makenna in the pool for the first time all summer! There was a slight breeze and mommy didn't let the water warm in the sun so needless to say it was a little chilly. With her teeth chattering and lips blue she played and splashed without a care in the world. Surprise, surprise she loved it!

She will be 10 months old on Friday! Holy Cow!!!!!

Hat Fun

While we were in Disneyland we put Makenna through the torturous fun of placing several hats on her head, laughing hysterically, and then snapping a photo instead of buying each one. You can tell from the expression she makes in nearly every picture she is completely amused :)

Eeyore

Bride Ears

This is Makenna's Bob Marley stoned pose.

Not a hat but so funny!

Disneyland

Drew, myself, Makenna, Grammy, and Bampa just returned from a trip to Disneyland this past week. Makenna came along (she was free admission) and was surprisingly allowed to ride many of the rides. She was indifferent about most of them except for four. She wiggled and oooo'ed at Small World, Monsters Inc, and the new Toy Story 4D ride. She cried quite a bit during the Finding Nemo ride (I had forgotten how loud it was) and als briefly cried during the cannon scene in Pirates of the Carribean.

Grammy and Bampa entertained her during one of the long waits.

Makenna walked all the way back to the hotel on Daddy's sholders. She kept licking his hair and resting her head on the back of his head...adorable.

All sunscreened up and ready for another day at the park!

She loves her Bampa! So many kisses!!

This was on the way back to the hotel on a different night. She was trying to keep her eyes open but had a lot of trouble. What a trooper!

Grammy and Bampa bought this tigger for her. It is the silliest looking thing I've ever seen, but she loves it. Go figure.

Jenny and Ryan Ingram invited us to eat at Club 33 with them while were enjoying the park too. (Ryan is Drew's boss.) Club 33 is this secret club that Walt designed to entertain his high-end guests. It is very fancy and fun. Not many people know about it, let alone get to go inside. We all felt very special. Including Makenna, I'm sure. It has a glass elevator where you ride up and the matre'd is waiting for you to take your party to their table. It was an experience I'll never forget.

Here we are waiting to ride either Pirates or the Haunted Mansion (I can't remember which one).
