Beach trip

Today we ventured out of the apartment and took a trip to the beach. The weather here was perfect weather for being outside, but still a little chilly for the water. I figure once the surfers start going in without their wetsuits on that's when it will be warm enough for me. But I do think I am a little warped from being used to the bathtub temperature pool water in Arizona and the warm beautiful beaches in Hawaii.

Kaitlyn had a blast just playing in the sand. She was so excited to see the sand that she about plopped herself down to dig on the sidewalk leading to the beach. She also discovered today that sand does not taste very good. And boy was she ever so dramatic trying to spit it out.


Makenzie even ventured out of her car seat today. She felt the sand on her toes and wasn't too sure of how she felt about it. Hopefully she won't be as crazy about it as Kaitlyn was. I think my 7x7 beach towel will definately get it's use this summer...now if only we lived in one of those beach houses!

WOW

Even though she probably only weighs 45 pounds this is probably one of the most amazing things I have ever seen - Thanks Saedi for sharing

4 Months

I can't believe another month has just flown by. Makenzie is definately growing up way too fast. We went to the dr. today and in 2 months she has gained almost 3 pounds and grown 5 inches. I doubted for a brief minute if Makenzie could really be mine and Dan's child since she is in the 95th percentile for her height 50th for weight. But then I remembered how at the hospital they basically super glued her ID patch on her chest so the odds of a mix up are pretty slim.

Makenzie loves looking at her fingers, sucking on her shirt, covering her face with her balnkets and burp cloths, scooting around in circles on her back, rolling over back to tummy, reading books and singing songs with Kaitlyn, and cuddling.

Since Makenzie will not take a bottle we decided it was time to start up on the rice cereal. She did surprisingly well...She swallowed about half of the cereal, and the other half didn't quite make it to her mouth due to the fact that her older sister wouldn't stop trying to help me feed her. Oh the joys of a well intending, over helpful, stubborn child.
