A New Baby

She's a new baby! This fussy stage thing is a distant memory nowadays. Mckinley has really started to change over the last week. She is awake much more, smiling quite a bit, and sleeping around 8 hrs a night!! She is also starting to enjoy playing and reading. All around our days are much more enjoyable. It has been so much fun to start and learn what she likes (baths--who would have thought after those first few, the outdoors, and blowing in her hair). One of our biggest challenges these days are naps. She'll take them, but only for about 30 min at a time. I can't complain too much though--I would rather her be sleeping as much as she does at night than taking naps and not sleeping at night. And if all else fails she will sleep in her swing!

As with the last couple weeks Mckinley had another first this week--her first boat ride! We went down to Tacoma to visit Grandma Cheryl and Papa Steve on their boat and took a ride down the Tacoma waterfront. I think she liked the boat ride, but hated the thought of having to wear a life jacket! Hopefully she gets used to it because I foresee lots of boat rides in her future.

She loves being in her wrap!


No way was she going to wear this...
PS--I changed the look of the blog a little in case you were wondering what was different.
