Dear McKenna,
This was our first month apart. You’ve adjusted pretty quickly to daycare - probably because you realize the alternative is a life of bologna and ramen...
Other happenings from this last month:
- You’re trying to hold the bottle but are much more interested in it being held for you so you can watch your brother
- You got to have forward-facing time in the baby carrier and love it but you still look up at me to make sure I’m still there
- You’ve become much more vocal about what you like and dislike: Jase jumping up and down in front of you - like, bottle dropping from your grasp - dislike (which turns quickly to displeased)
- You found your foot for the first time and are in love

- Firsts: You got your first cold followed with double pink eye, solid food (we’re not sure about bananas...) day at school, and (thanks to cooler weather) first patio day and walk around the neighborhood
- You can: Roll over consistently, recognize your name and nickname, recognize me when I pick you up from school, make your brother laugh
- You love: kisses on the cheek, looking at Christmas decorations, bouncing, splashing in the tub, playing “peek-a-boo”
For your therapist:
- Mommy decided to go to the bathroom by herself.
- We put you to bed when you’re tired.
- Juno puked on your play mat. Then, after I set you down on your brother’s blanket for playtime... Jase came and yanked it out from under you. Tough crowd.
For our therapist:
- I took you to the dr right after daycare... sans diaper bag... a rookie mistake I realized when you started farting so loud the other parents in the waiting room thought it was me...
- You had your first tornado drill and decided to de-escalate the situation by creating your own... puking all over my hand, the rug, and your bed. Touché on the creative strategy to stay up even later...
You’ve handled this month’s major change better than I could have hoped for and now we’re ready to see what you do next!
We love you sweet girl,
Mommy and Daddy
