Free at last

Great news! We were released from the hospital this morning! It is great to be at home. These pictures are of Makenna in our own version of a "bath tub!" She had been in the hospital so long without a bath that her eczema was out of control (you can see the red patches on her legs). We decided that she needed one, but had no way to give one to her... until we saw the pink bucket. These were too funny not to share! Enjoy!

Makenna's thoughts

We know that this is taking a lot out of makenna so we decided to ask her how she felt. We were happy to hear what she had to say! enjoy!!!

Special Treats!

Mommy and Daddy felt bad that I was back in the hospital so they decided to give me a few treats! Daddy thought it was a great idea to give me my first taste of vanilla ice cream! I think that I am going to follow in mommy's footsteps and LOVE ice cream!

I also got to go on my first wagon ride. The pediatric floor has wagons for us sickies to ride around in. Grandma pulled me around while mommy followed with my IV pole! Daddy finally got a little nap in!! I had a pretty good time checking all the sights out!

Oh hospital, oh hospital

As many of you have heard, I am sickie again! Mommy, Daddy and Grandma C. brought me back to the hospital on Thursday night when my fever was back to 105 degrees. I was admitted because my white cell count was high, I had a fever and bronchitis to top it all off! We are hoping that I will break out of here today... as long as I start eating. Recently I decided I didn't feel like drinking my milk. It is mommy's misison now to get me to eat! Keep your fingers crossed that I will leave soon!

In these pictures I am taking my breating treatments and waving hi to everyone. We stopped using a mask and began simply blowing the medicine in my face. I thought it would be fun to eat the tubing. Mommy thought it would be silly to talk to me threw the tube! What a silly mommy!! We enjoyed time hanging out as one tired family!

Hiking Red Rock

This weekend my mom and dad took me to Red Rock to go hiking again. We took our friends Ang & Chase and met one of mommy's friends Jen. This time we went on the children's trail and my mom told me all about the different plants and trees. I was excited because I got to ride in my new backpack! It was so cool!! I even took a little nap at the end!

photo shoot

Recently we had some pictures of Makenna taken. It was suppose to be for 6 months, but I was a little late on the get go. Not shocking. I know that I am not suppose to put these everywhere, but they were so cute I couldn't resist showing her off! We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

7 months old!

As we all know time flies when you are having fun, and boy are we! Mommy & daddy are amazed at how big I am getting and all of the things that I can now do. Here I am dressed up like a flower posing for my monthy birthday shot! To celebrate I had another tooth come in. Now I have 4! Mommy thinks that 2 more are trying to come in. All I know is that they hurt!!

New Toys!

Mommy got me a new play tent! I think that it is the best toy EVER! I have a door and it has a real doorbell! I love to sit and play with all the toys. I hope my friends come over soon and play!

Sooooo cute!

I had to put this post on because it was too cute. This morning I heard Makenna on the monitor so I went in to get her ready. I found her laying with her arm around her Mini Mouse doll mumbling words to her (threw her binki, of course!) I just happened to have the camera on me and caught it. I though it was adorable and had to share it! Enjoy

Pretty Lady

My mommy said that she wanted some pretty pictures of me in a tu-tu (whatever that is), so I agreed to take some cute pictures. Here are just a few from our little photo shoot at home. Mommy says I am such a ham!

My First Cubbies Game

Great news! The cubbies are in town and playing at Cashman field! Mommy and Daddy were so excited that they decided to take me to a "practice" spring training game. I want to give Auntie Jill a big thank you for my cute cubbies shirt. Many of the fans liked it! Mommy and Daddy tried to take as many pictures as they could. Wow are they silly!

My First NASCAR Race

This weekend Daddy and Mommy took me to my first NASCAR race. I was so excited that I put on my Kasey Kane onsie and my checkered flag socks and shoes! Boy was I ready. I got to see the cars, the infield, AND flying Elvis's! How cool is that?! We also got a family photo with Kasey Kane (well a cardboard version anyways!) Mommy and Daddy were so proud of me. By time the race started I was pretty tired and ready to go home. Poor daddy only saw the first 15 laps! It is a good thing that there are more years ahead!

Eating Cookies!

This week Mommy and Mrs. Christy let me have my first cookie. I think that these things are the BEST! I made sure that I made a BIG mess for mommy and daddy to clean up. I hope they give me more cookies soon!

hanging out at the beach with friends

Recently Daddy went to Mexico with Uncle Travis, Grandpa and some friends for Uncle Travis' birthday. Mommy took me to the beach to play with my friend Claire and my cousin Ryder. We had so much fun. Ryder let me play with his shopping cart and played with me on the beach! I can't wait to run on the beach!!
