ELMO
So over the last few weeks we've gotten Kenna into Sesame Street, she absolutely loves it, but what she really loves is her red furry little friend Elmo! We knew she liked Elmo when we took our road trip to Chicago over Labor Day, but we are now learning she's a tad bit obsessed :) Grandpa Mack got her the Elmo Rock N' Roll doll on Thanksgiving and she just loves it as he sings lots of songs, but more importantly "Elmo's World" her absolute favorite...she has several movies now and we swear if she could just watch Elmo and friends all day long, she'd be content!
Last night, Nate witnessed her true obsession :) I was at the gym and he was at home with her getting our dinner ready. Here is the exact post he sent me along with the adorable picture:
"Heard the song and completely spazed. Ran out of the kitchen while I was cooking and when I went to see her, this is what I saw. Obsessed much?
She is just hilarious with Elmo!!! It's pretty darn cute :)

Waiting for Santa!
Our Thanksgiving was so nice and relaxing (after the procedure of course) with the time off that Nate and I had! We had a great weekend decorating and getting ready for Christmas. Music started, Elf was playing and Christmas scents were/are flowing through the house :) We decided to get a real tree this year - we did that a lot growing up when I was little and we agreed it would be a fun tradition to start...we even thought about cutting our own when Kenna gets old enough to enjoy it! Grammie also got us the original Elf on the Shelf, Christopher Pop-in-Kins! Nate decided to name him Diego, he's not even sure why :) so although she doesn't understand why he's there each morning and in a different spot, she loves to say, "What's that?!?!" when we point him out to her!
Wrigley also seems to love the new look at the Schlieman household and seems to be waiting for Santa!! This is how we found her last night :) ADORABLE!
We are very excited for Christmas this year and can't wait to wake up in our own home this year on Christmas morning to have our first official Schlieman Family Christmas!

Kenna's Procedure
We had Mackenna's much anticipated procedure last Wednesday the 23rd of Nov. We were pretty nervous going in, as we really had no clear idea of what truly was going to happen behind those doors. We got her up and fed before 6:30am (in case she did indeed need sedation) and we were on our way at 8am. When we arrived, Kenna got all checked in and was given her medical band for her wrist. Then it was just sit and wait in anticipation...Kenna was thoroughly enjoying the waiting area, lots of toys and books to play with!
Then it was time to head back and get prepped. Because I had asked for sedation to be readily available, we had to go into a room to be asked a bunch of questions about Mackenna to make sure she was a good candidate for the Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) - thankfully she was, so that made us feel a bit better. She got her purple 'princess gown' and seemed to really enjoy how pretty she looked. Her little personality was shining through like always! At this point, we were all still pretty happy and in good spirits.
Then it was time for the inevitable! We headed to the radiology room and this is where we spent the next hour or so...
To begin, we all had to where the lead aprons, so we got those on and they began to "tie her down" :( They wrapped her legs with an ace bandage around a board so she could not kick and squirm...or at least that was the thought, but we have such a fighter, that through the tears and screams, she managed to squirm so much, that board really didn't do much. On the first attempt, yes there was more than 1, it was unsuccessul. The radiologist was working to get the tube, about the size of a cooked piece of spaghetti, inside her bottom and after about 25 minutes, he told us he was unsuccessful - seriously she is a fighter. He suggested we let her calm down and then try again to where we stepped in as parents and said, "No, we'll let her calm down and also use sedation for Round 2!" we were not about to put her through that again. He agreed and we got sedation started. Initially we were told it would take about 2 minutes with the mask and then she'd be calmer and in a 'dream-like' state, but she ended up fighting her way through that as well :( It calmed her enough to be successful with the tube insertion, but she cried and fought the entire time.
Now that the tube was in, they started to insert the fluid into her colon and large intestine. The radiologist told us this was one of the worst cases he'd ever seen for a child of her age :( he put more CC's of the fluid in than normal, about 500 and then it was over...FINALLY! He warned us that when they take the tube out, things usually start coming out right away, but that was not the case in Mackenna. They said with her back up, it was ok it wasn't instant and to get her in a diaper and wait...We did just that and she wanted nothing to do with anyone, but her mama!!! She held her Minnie, dollie, blanket and me tightly and had a pretty upset face the whole time. She was hot, sweaty and had a head full of curls.
To make a long story short, it took close to an hour for Kenna to have her first dirty diaper and it wasn't the size they were hoping for. They wanted her to have one more before they did one more tummy x-ray to make sure things were doing what they were supposed to, so they suggested we grab lunch in the cafe and come back after her second diaper. She did have a second one while we were there, but again, not what they were hoping for. Nate and I were a little nervous at this point, but they assured us it was ok since she was just THAT backed up :( They did the final tummy x-ray and sent us on our way after almost 5 hours! (We thought it would be 2 max from what they told us).
We got in the car and not even a minute had gone by before we saw this...
She was exhausted, frankly, we ALL were! We got her home and were happy to say that by the end of the day she had had 7 dirty diapers! They were bigger each time and more productive, so we were happy to see that! She slowly got back to her normal self as the day went on, so we were thrilled to have our little girl back!
Now she's on Miralax to try and get her system regulated and more importantly her mental fear GONE! Hopefully from there we'll have a normal functioning punkin! We are also happy to report that we just received her results and they found no abnormalities in her colon and intestine...PHEW!!!! We are so happy that is over and are so so thankful that we have an otherwise very healthy little girl!

Apple-Eater
Nate and I had a very memorable moment at the grocery store yesterday! Kenna has been eating apples for awhile now, all cut up of course, and seems to really love them. Well yesterday, while in the produce section, she was asking to hold an apple while I was bagging some on my own, so I gave her one and we kept shopping. A moment later I looked down at the cart to find her chomping away at her apple! It was the cutest and most hysterical thing we've seen in awhile...just this little tiny girl eating a whole apple! Sure it wasn't washed or anything, but she LOVED it, stayed busy (took her almost 2 hours to eat the dang thing!) and she thought she was such a big girl! Truly a moment to remember :)
Little Monkey!
My friend Katy was in town over the weekend and we were lucky enough to be able to see her before she left! We headed to lunch at Bubba Gump's at the MOA and then walked around for a bit to catch up. Katy was our very first visitor at the hospital when Kenna was born and this was the first time she saw her since then :) She's changed just a bit she said! HA! She was sweet and also brough Kenna a little Christmas gift and it's the most adorable little monkey hat ever! Thank you Aunt Katy - we miss you and hope to see you again soon!
First Official Snow!
We had our first official snow over the weekend and it was COLD!!!! Brrrrr! We got Kenna all suited up the morning after to see how she liked it.
At first she was a little hesitant and just sat there trying to figure it all out...
But then when she realized she could walk and play, she was all over the place! It was so fun to see her all bundled up and having fun! Happy Winter!

Mackenna's Tummy Troubles
So what a rough several of months we've had at the Schlieman household with Mackenna's little tummy...from the time she turned 1 and we switched her to whole milk and new solid foods time and time again, we are having some issues in the #2 department. She has gotten extremely backed up over the months and it has caused a lot of discomfort for her. Initially our pediatrician had us take her off whole milk and put her on soy. The soy seemed to help, BUT it didn't take care of the issue completely. We witness Kenna in a full plank position straining, crying, turning bright red, etc etc etc. It's heart breaking as a parent to watch. Her appetite has been hit or miss, she's more tired some days than others, she has the beginning of an ethiopian tummy from the distended intestine and she's just been off. We wanted to believe it was just a milk thing, but I kept bringing it up to the doctor and they just kept saying it was 'normal' for kids to experience constipation and that we'd get through it and by age 2, she'd be like a new child.
Well last week, she had to go in to get her ears checked out again and I just had that mother's instinct I guess you can call it, that something is really going on with her little system and I asked again that they DO SOMETHING to figure this out and that I felt it wasn't 'normal' for her to be acting like this and to continue to have these episodes. Thankfully the doc we saw called for a tummy X-Ray and it showed exactly what we thought - an extreme back up in her colon and large intestine. She said that because it was pretty extreme that we should head to MN Gastroenterolgy to see a specialist. At this point, we were just grateful we were starting to get somewhere.
So yesterday, we headed to St. Paul to see Dr. Aurora and hopefully get some answers. It was amazing at the amount of "AH HA" moments we had listening to him. All her syptoms seemed to make more sense when he explained what was going on inside her. The outcome of our visit with Dr. Aurora is that Mackenna needs to have a surgical procedure called a Gastrografin Enema at Children's in Minneapolis. See this link below if you want more information, however, the article seems to focus on older kids and what goes on, so we're still kinda confused how this will all work with a 17 month old:
http://www.childrensmn.org/Manuals/PFS/TestProc/118816.pdf
Basically, it's a 30-60 minute procedure to get our little punkin cleaned out and on the right track to having BM's on her own with no pain, no fear and ease. We know she won't be put under for the procedure, but we aren't too sure how it will work. Considering she's an ancy little girl and has to lay there for a big amount of time, we're thinking she'll have a sedative of some sort, but again, we're not 100% sure. We go next Wednesday at 9:15 with the actual procedure beginning at 9:30am. Once it's over, we'll continue to give her Miralax once a day for a couple weeks to get her mental state back on track to let her learn that she can do it and there is no pain. After a couple weeks of that, we should be free and clear to take her off of everything and be good to go! HERE'S HOPING it all works!
We're glad that we were finally heard and that my instinct was correct - it's amazing how you have to push doctors sometimes to go above and beyond, but moving past that, we're just happy to be on track to have our little girl back to herself again!

Mackenna's Halloween 2011
Halloween was so much fun this year! Mackenna had a BIG day! First it was a Halloween Party at daycare with lots of fun games and songs and even lunch shaped like spiders :)We didn't send her in her Minnie costume, but she of course had a special outfit!
Nate and I had the day off, so after our 'Date Day' we got her picked up and headed to Grandpa Mack's office to do a little trick-or-treating and start the night out! It was a riot to watch her - she figured out very quickly that if she went to each office, she would get candy and if she didn't, she would say "Bye!" in her sweet little voice and move on to the next!
Then it was off to Grammie and Grampie Harrison's house! When we got there, Kenna had a treat bag with lots of goodies for her! An adorable little outfit from grammie's favorite place Gymboree, some animal crackers and a few other little things. Great Grandma had even left some goodies for her as well!
Before we headed out, we took our traditional Halloween pic on the front step and Mackenna checked out the new friend grammie had out for display as well :)
Then it was time to do some actual first time trick-or-treating over at the Havron's house! We were able to go to about 5 or 6 houses and she seemed to have a good time. Hesitant at a few houses, but then after watching her cousins, she seemed to get a bit more confidence!
We had such a fun, eventful day! We were all exhausted by the time we got home, but it was full of many memories and fun "firsts" for all of us!

Meet and Greet with Minnie!
A couple weekends ago, I got a wonderful text from Pati letting me know that Mackenna's favorite character Minnie Mouse was at the Mall of America for the grand re-opening of the Disney Store and she was taking pictures with all the kids! Nate was at baseball that day, so Kenna and I got her Minnie dress on and rushed to meet her! I think I was a bit more excited as clearly she had no idea what was going on...
She was such a good girl waiting in line and was so in awe of everything around her.
When it was our turn, she went right up to Minnie, holding her stuffed Minnie, with a big smile on her face!
When it was time to actually take a picture with Minnie then she became a bit more hesitant with what was going on, but she seemed to really LOVE everything about her visit and I was such a happy mommy watching it all take place! Truly PRICELESS! Thank you Pati!

And we're back!
Man, I sure have been bad lately with keeping this blog updated!!! Life has been so busy with this little toddler running around and changing before our eyes! But no more excuses, here are some fun pics and updates over the last several weeks!
Kenna's been brushing her teeth lots lately and she even likes to get up on the stool from time to time with Daddy to be just like him :)
She has also become super independent and has to feed herself and do anything she possibly can by herself! She just figured out how straws work too and although we've had a few messes because of it, it sure is cute to see her be such a big girl!
One of the cuter moments she's had lately is when she found one of my poms from my MVC days and fell in love with it! She has it in the car each morning on the way to Pati's and just loves to hold and shake it!
Mackenna has always been a joy, but lately she has just been SO MUCH FUN! She's talking SO much and has added quite a bit to her vocabulary these days since the last update, including, but not limited to:
"Here you go!"
"Baby"
She also has a favorite song - Foster the People's,'Pumped Up Kicks'! She gets really excited and does some pretty funny dance moves (picture a mini sumo wrestler!) it's so great to watch!
We can't believe she's almost 18 months (17 months tomorrow) - time is going by way too fast so we're just trying to soak it all up while we can and can't wait for the holidays and all the new traditions to start with our family!

All Bundled Up!
Kenna and I haven't been able to get to too many of Daddy's games to see him in action this season, so of course on the day we picked it was a chilly fall day!!!!! But Kenna sure looked the part and cute as ever!
16 Months!!
Hi Everyone!
Been way too long (kinda ironic since my last post was titled been awhile and was almost 3 months ago)!
Kenna is 16 months now and doing so well!!!!! She is just becoming a little lady and it's been so fun to see her these last couple months with her awesome personality! She's saying so much, here are a few:
* "What's that?
* "Minnie!"
* "More!"
* "Thank You!" Sounds like KU, but it's her way of saying thank you :)
She plays on her own, is enjoying discovering EVERYTHING and has even enlightened us to the world of tantrums (Not in public yet thankfully!). She is totally into feeding herself and prefers it and absolutely loves to be outside!
At her 15 month check up she weighed 23lbs! Growing steadily, just the way we like it!!!!! Dr. Jones was so impressed with her development and her words, etc. She has LOTS of teeth too! All her molars are in and she's working on her "K9"s as we speak (I think those might be the worst yet, but we're almost there!!!!!
Life is perfect! Can't believe we're getting into the holiday season with Halloween right around the corner! We have a family day planned at the Pumpkin Patch this weekend, so I'll be sure to update again at that time!
Til Then...

Been Awhile!
Its been awhile since my last post so I thought I would do some quick updating!
We have a full on walker in our house!!! She has her routine walking paths and all! She is getting so comfortable that she doesn't necessarily look like my 'drunk off milk' little girl anymore! We love this new adventure but can't believe we already have a toddler!
She still continues to campaign everywhere we go with saying HI to everyone!! It is definitely her favorite word and she loves the reaction she gets from everyone she says it to! She has also mastered "more" and "no", but not the actual word "no" just the head shake to imply no. With daycare she seems to be way more talkative as the days roll on...I already know what that means...PAY BACK, uh oh! I never knew when to stop talking so she's going to get me now!
Two of her top molars are completely through and she is working on one bottom one right now...that's 11 total!!!! The top 2 were just there one day, as we had no clue she was even working on any to begin with...she continues to be our little warrior with all this teeth stuff!
Aside from that, all is well with the Schlieman clan! Nate is getting back into coaching this fall and I'm going to judge with the MSHSL for dance...both of us continuing to do what we love in some way or another, can't complain about that!!! We are looking forward to fall and cooler temps...OK maybe that's just me :) but can't believe summer is already winding down! Looks like the state fair will be calling us back soon...

BONK!
With Kenna walking all over the place, we have gotten used to the fact that a bruise here and there is a must have accessory for her :) Some of them have been worse than others, but for the most part, she gets right back up and walks it off - literally!
Here is one right on her forehead - had a meeting with the corner of our couch!
Here is one right on her forehead - had a meeting with the corner of our couch!
The next Vanna White??
Mackenna absolutely LOVES Wheel of Fortune - we might have the next Miss White on our hands!!!!
LICORICE!!!!
With Mackenna's new found freedom of walking, also comes the curiosity for all of our cupboards now :) She has found on the bottom shelf of our pantry Daddy's licorice and she LOVES to dump it upside down to play in it...
And of course try and eat it too!
