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!

Our 2nd trip to Como Zoo
With the lovely government shutdown, our trip to the MN Zoo was cancelled, so we thought we'd make the most of it and head back to the Como Zoo on what was an absolutely gorgeous day!
Kenna and Daddy LOVED to look at the monkeys!
Before we ventured home for nap time, we took her on the GIANT carousel!!! We found out it was made in 1914 - how cool! She actually got to ride with Daddy this time and she was even holding on this time - such a big girl! It was such a fun sunny day!

I LOVE TO SWIM!
So far this 4th of July weekend has been a blast! I had Friday off to make it a 4 day weekend and with Nate off on Monday, it is just nice to have some solid quality family time together!!!!
On Friday I took Mackenna over to Grandma and Grandpa Harrison's house for a day full of swimming! She had so much fun with her new floatie that Grandpa Mack got her for her 1st birthday!
Kenna also got to see and try out her new pool for the house! It's a GIANT blowfish and so far, we think she likes it! We just have to make sure we fill it up WELL in advance before she gets in as hose water is FREEZING! It even has a sprinkler...

Our Walking Girl!
Oh my goodness - we can't believe it, but we have an 'almost' walker on our hands! I'm guessing in just a week or so, we'll have a full blown walking machine!

Children's Heart Clinic
Today was our much anticipated visit to the Children's Heart Center at the Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. I was a nervous wreck and I think Nate was too, but he kept thinking about what Dr. Jones said and that calmed his nerves a bit! First, I picked Kenna up from daycare and we headed to McDonald's for a Happy Meal lunch date :)
Then it was off to meet Daddy at the hospital! We first went with the nurse to get her height and weight recorded, then it was right to the EKG. We thought we were going for the echocardiogram, but it turned out we got the EKG instead - she had about 10 little stickers all over her with wires everywhere, but she took it like a champ of course! Once that was done, we waited for Dr. Hills to come talk to us. Thankfully when she came in the room, it was all good news! Kenna has a healthy heart and nothing we need to worry about. Her EKG was normal and works a little harder than the rest right now, but as she grows, it will continue to go away and eventually should be gone for good. She explained to us a lot of little details that Nate seemed to understand more than I did :) I just cared that she was OK!!! Oh and Dr. Hills son used to be a student of Nate's - goodness what a small world!
Being at Children's today made me remember just how lucky we are to have a healthy little girl. It was a small scare, but we feel so blessed she is OK and we could leave there with an easy heart (no pun intended!)
Til next time...
