McKenna turned 18 months old on August 4th and I've been wanting to make a post for my memory's sake. She has been such a fun baby and gets plenty of attention from her brothers. McKenna has been slow to start talking, but her vocabulary has really grown in the past couple months. Here's a list of her words and her pronunciation:
Daddy (her first word) - "Da"
Derek - "Dee"
No
Mine - "my"
Cheese - "chee"
Hat - "Haa"
Ball - "Baow"
Car - "Ca"
Bye Bye
Uh-oh
Uh-oh
Baby - "Be be"
Thank you - "A- ooh"
Slide - "wee"
She knows the parts of the body and will point to them when you ask where they are.
She loves dress up especially bracelets and necklaces. She'll turn any circular object into one.
She gets very disturbed if she makes a mess and cries out "uh-oh, uh-oh", until it's cleaned up.
She has learned early about guns. She chases us with random objects and makes a girly gun noise like "ch ch".
She will rarely say "bye bye" to you unless the door is closed and you are gone.
She loves shoes and will put yours on if you leave them lying around.
She folds her arms for the prayer and will clap for herself afterward.
She loves being chased and her squeal, that accompanies it, is ear-piercing.
She likes to hold the remote when I rock her to sleep.
She loves pillows and if you tell her to "get comfy" then she'll smile big and lie down on it.
She notices when I wear jewelry and will say "oooh" and point at it.
She cries...a lot. I think there are a couple reasons for that...#1 She has 4 teeth that are coming in all at once and #2 People in this house keep telling her "no".
She actually holds still when I fix her hair.
If you get in her personal space expect her to give you a stiff arm.
After a bath she loves to be wrapped in a towel and called "baby Kenna". She cries when you take the towel away.
Some of her nicknames are: Kenna Girl, Kenna Baby, Pretty Girl, Little Girl, Princess
After you take her picture she runs to see it on the camera.
She makes the funniest faces.
I know all moms say how fast they grow, but this time it really is true. The past 18 months flew by! We love our little girl and would take 8 to 12 more babies just like her. Right, Dave! :) Ha ha ha.

she's so cute!! And I know it's not a competition, but she says more words than Noah now, so good work :)
She's a cutie! You're inspiring me to write down more of the cute stuff my kids do! My 3rd child cries a lot too, maybe it has something to do with birth order!
8 to 12 more? um...SURE!
