Dear McKenna,
Another month has come and gone and you’ve made it a busy one at that!
- You got to visit mommy’s office - you thought it was so much fun you stayed awake for 3 hours straight
- You met your aunt Meg and your aunt Allison
- You moved into your room (rent due the first of every month)
- You’ve discovered your hands and are trying to start laughing
- You love: Your brother (you always light up when he runs into the room after school), sitting in the rocker and reading a book, taking naps on your tummy, our “Good Morning” song, and watching FRIENDS (you agree Ross and Rachel were NOT on a break)
- You can: sleep through the night, follow toys with your eyes, turn head from side to side on tummy time, turn on your side, watch your hands intently, and kick yourself off the couch - thus ending our “my kid never fell off the couch” streak
Which leads me into this month’s therapy...
- Yes. You fell off the couch. Apparently I wasn’t moving fast enough to get your bottle. You got me back by laughing and giggling at the pediatric urgent care and the dr looked at me like I was a moron for bringing you in.
- You also had your first “Jase, apologize for hitting your sister!” moment... sorry kiddo that’s probably the first of many.
And as traumatic as your fall was, there were other moments for our future therapy:
- You did your pain scream while I was trying to keep your brother from peeing on me (fun fact about potty training: you are now in competition of “who has to go worse” with the toddler who said he didn’t have to go and suddenly decides not only does he have to go but you must stop mid-business)... oh... you just wanted to be held.
- I was holding you when you burped... seconds later I hear a splatter on the floor... the rest of this scene didn’t bode well for me (or my freshly washed hair)
You are so happy and ready to just go with the flow (except if the flow involves the car seat... still not a fan). We can’t wait to see more of your personality and, maybe, some baby laughs soon.
We love you!
Mommy and Daddy
