Our Singing Little Baby!

Had to share what we've been so lucky to hear these days! We think we have a little singer on our hands...you be the judge :)

Pumpkins for the Punkin!






We headed out to Emma Krumbee's this afternoon to do some pumpkin picking for Mackenna! It was raining when we got there, so we sat inside the little restaurant/general store and had some yummy apple pie while Mackenna had some lunch. When it finally let up, we ventured outside to hop on the tractor ride to the pumpkin patch where we found some GREAT pumpkins and got some FUN pictures too! Once we were done with that, we walked around at the Scarecrow Displays and fed a goat at the petting zoo! We had a great afternoon and hope Mackenna did too on her 1st pumpkin patch adventure!

Breezy Point

We headed up to Breezy Point this past weekend to stay at Uncle Tom and Aunt Linda's House....it was a great time and we enjoyed our first mini family vacation and a weekend away, just the 3 of us; and Wrigley too of course! We went to the shops in Nisswa and walked around and found a cute little coffee shop, we drove around on the ATV for a little while before Nate took off like a crazy man on his own :) and we had a nice cozy bonfire where we read our story for the night! Kenna had a great time and while we were up there, she turned 4 months old!!! We can't wait to go up there again soon!

I'm 4 Months!!!!!

Update!!!!





It's been awhile since we've given a good ole update about lil Mackenna!!! She'll be 4 months this coming Saturday; we cannot believe how fast this is all going!!!!!! She's made some pretty big strides as of late:

* Laughing
* Coo-ing or as we like to consider it, talking :)
* She's found her hands and stares at them like they are aliens
* Chews on EVERYTHING, but mostly her hands
* Smiling
* Kicking and turning her hips - we know she's about to flip soon!
* Her head control is about there and she's almost ready to hold it on her own with zero help
* Trying rice cereal!!!!
* Sleeping 7-9 hours a night - YAHOO!!!!
* Grabbing for things

We're sure we're missing a few, but these are the ones that are very apparent these days!!!!

We had to take her to the doctor on Friday as we had a feeling she was coming down with something and wanted to get her in before the weekend...She got to meet her new pediatrician, Dr. Jones, and she loved him (so did mommy and daddy...thank you for the recommendation Grandma and Grandpa Harrison!). He was so kind and gentle and explained everything that was going on. Turns out, she had an on-set of her 1st ear infection, so she's been on antibiotic and will be for 10 days. She's taking it pretty well...Nate would prefer it was his medicine as it's bubblegum flavor and remembers how much he loved that stuff :) She weighed 12 lbs 14 oz and is in the 40th percentile still, but growing and that's all that matters! She got the go ahead while we were there to eat rice cereal for the first time (check out the pics) and did pretty well; things are about to get MESSY!!!!!!

She has her 4 month wellness check and shots on Monday the 18th, so we're anxious to find out all the other milestones she's hit and all that she's about to endure!

Love,
Nate, Kara, Mackenna and Wrigley
