Me: What are you doing???
Kenna: Feeding my baby!
Me: Why are you doing it like that?
Kenna: She's hungry and needs to eat from my booboo!
Me: Where did you see that from? (she did that a long time ago when I nursed Jordyn but hasn't since).
Kenna: Izaak was eating from Sara's booboo because he was hungry!
Me: Ahhhhh......(Sara is my sis and Izaak is six months old and she was nursing him Sunday).
Makenna told us she was going to work. She put her sunglasses on and gave us both kisses and said she would be back later. Travis asked her what she did and she said she gives people sagges;-) I guess that would be half of a massage!!
Makenna said her legs were broken when we were out bike riding and going up a hill!!
Makenna loves to be sassy. She has gotten a teenager attitude in the last week!! I truly don't know what to do with her sometimes!
Makenna has decided that she wants to wear the same outfit everyday lately! I made her wear something else the other day and about half way through, I discovered that she had changed her clothes to that outfit!! It gets so filthy but she doesn't seem to care;) She has to pick everything out now too, including her dress for Sunday and her jammies. I don't think I like this:) It's nice that I can say go get dressed instead of doing it for her but I don't like what she comes up with sometimes!
Makenna has strangers tell her how beautiful her hair is all the time!! It's happened so often that when people say it, she's almost like, "Yeah, I know!!"
Makenna will go up to strangers and talk to them like they are family! She went up to one lady and wrapped her arms around her leg!! I couldn't believe it. She is definitely not shy (except when she has to say a talk in Primary:)
Makenna says prayer, prarr. It's hard to write how it sounds but it sounds like she has Southern accent:) We asked her to say the prayer last night and she sticks her arm out and says, "I just said the prarr in my Primary!!!!!"
Makenna had to keep getting up last night to pee because I was shoving fluids down her all day. She started crying at about 10 o' clock and I asked her what the matter was. I couldn't understand her for a minute and then she finally blurts out, "My potty won't let me sleep!!!"
Ever since my sister had her baby boy, Miss Kenna has been asking for a baby brother too. I told her not right now but she has been persistent. She asks me all the time especially on Sundays when we see the baby. The other day she came to me and said she had a baby brother in her tummy and she was going to go to the hospital just like Aunt Sara. I guess she figured she would take matters into her own hands;)
If you look closely, you can see a bulge under her princess dress;-}
Makenna: (looking at our wedding pics) Mom, why are you throwing your flowers?
Me: Um.....because;)
Makenna: Oh! (pause) But why are you throwing them?.jpg)
Makenna: Lady has a bum like us, right?
Me and Trav: Um, yeah.....
Makenna: Then why doesn't she wear pants???
Me and Trav laughing our butts off.....she is so funny!!
My Kenna just cracks me up. She surprises me sometimes with the silly things that come out of her mouth.
Today at church, there was a man behind us that had apparently closed his eyes, and Makenna says real loud, "Look Mom, he's tired!!!"
The other day I was driving my mom to go get their car out of the shop. We told Makenna that we were going to Uncle Danny's work (since he works at Ford) and she only heard "we are going to work". She yelled out, "But we can't go to work.....we are 'girls'!!!"
Travis went to dinner with other fellow band directors and so he wasn't at home as early as he normally is. Makenna did not like this at all and kept asking when Daddy was going to get home. She started to get really panicky when it started to get dark. I told her it was fine and she said, "But Daddy can't drive home in the DARK!!!"
One day, Makenna had given me a long day full of Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!!!!! She finally gave me one last Mooooooommmmmyyyyy!!! I turned around and yelled, "WHAT!??" She replied softly, "I love you!" (Put me in my place real quick)
I was lying with my head on Travis' leg today after church and Makenna comes back in the room and goes....."Ahhhhh....Mommy, do you like Daddy???"
And finally, she is such a good little mini Mommy! The other day Jordyn woke up very cranky from her nap. She didn't want to be held but she didn't want to be put down. I finally laid her down and was going to just wait until she cried herself out since she wouldn't let me comfort her. Jordyn was just laying on the floor, flat on her back screaming and Makenna kneeled down next to her and started singing for her. At first, Jordyn didn't respond but Makenna kept singing different songs and very quickly Jordyn stopped crying to listen to her. It was so precious. I wish I had her patience. She also bit a bunch of grapes in half for Jordyn since she is too little to eat them whole.
I just love this little girl;)
Not only was he awesome to get me plane tickets to see my best friend but he did an amazing job by himself with the girls. He is such a good dad and our girls love him so much. I was expecting to come home, not to a disaster of a house, but not exactly a clean house. Not only was it a clean house but he managed to shampoo the upstairs and downstairs carpet!! He is going to make me look bad;)
I missed my girlies so much. Makenna is so adorable. She kept saying stuff like, "I can't eat lunch until my mommy comes over" or "I don't have a mommy right now". When it was about time for Travis to come get me at the airport, she called Grandma and told her to come over so Daddy can go rescue mommy!! And then when she did come over, she told Travis to go save Mommy! I couldn't get my hands on them fast enough when I got home and Makenna kept saying that she was so glad I came over! I even woke J.J. up cause I had to kiss those cheeks before I went to bed.
I had a wonderful time and it helped me rejuvenate and be a better mom. I will post about my trip later when my girls have detached from my leg.Ü
