FUN & EXHAUSTING!

FUN!
We are having SO.MUCH.FUN with parenthood. We just love spending time with Mckenna. She changes everyday!
Mckenna loves to look at the remote and try to push the buttons. Matt had to figure out how to keep the remote from working because Mckenna was changing the channels on him! :)
 
Mckenna loves the Jumperoo because she is able to be upright. She especially likes it if we put the Jumperoo in front of the window or glass door so she can look out!

Matt and Mckenna had a ball last night playing with his hat. Mckenna was being such a ham. I wish I could post the whole series of pictures but that would just be too much!
 Mckenna is working on sitting up on her own. She can sit for about a minute without falling over but if she reaches for something she will fall.
EXHAUSTING
 As most of you know parenthood is exhausting too! While I love being a mommy, I miss those days of uninterrupted sleep! There for about two weeks Mckenna didn't value sleep as much as Mommy did. She was up several times during the night, sometimes wanting to be fed at 4:00. I.WAS.TIRED! I will never know why my little princess decides to sleep some nights better than others but I have some theories. I think she was hungry, so I started cereal. I also think she was learning to move more and this one she worked out on her own. Many nights she would end up on her stomach and she didn't like it, she would fuss until I came in to flip her over. Just in the last 4 nights she has taken to sleeping on her stomach and she doesn't cry anymore. Instead she SLEEPS! I still find myself exhausted but I guess I can't blame it on sleepless nights.

Again, I will say that I love parenthood and I am so glad that about 1 year ago Matt and I decided to change our lives by adding another to our family. Mckenna celebrated her 6 month birthday this weekend! We are so proud of her!
