It's hard to believe our girl is already one month old. I know I will be saying this for years to come, but it truly seems like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. She is such a joy and true blessing. We are enjoying every minute.
We've settled into quite a routine around here. We start our day at 8:00am. She eats and then is wide awake until about 9:30am. During our morning we play in her room, listen to music, read books, and play on our tummies. She sleeps from 9:30-11:00 and then she eats again! She doesn't have great wake time after this feeding...she usually stays awake long enough to chow down and then it's back to la-la land! She eats again at 2:00, 5:00, 8:00, and then her last feeding is at 10:30pm. She gets in her bath tub every day after her 8:00pm. That's when mommy and daddy try and keep her good and awake.
She still loves her bath, her swing, and her play mat. She does not like to be buckled into her carseat, but loves to ride in the car...she falls asleep before we leave the driveway! She doesn't cry a whole lot and for that we're so thankful. She cries just enough to let us know she needs something. I love dressing her up in all of her clothes and matching socks and bows. She's such a doll baby! Everywhere we go people comment on how pretty she is...we agree :o) She is a good shopper and doesn't mind running errands and going out to eat! We've had her at church every Sunday and she doesn't make a peep...well maybe a tiny peep here and there :o) Our Sunday school class has signed up to bring us dinner for the next THREE weeks!! We are so blessed to have friends that care about us and a church family to share this special time with.
McKenna is doing a great job following her toys with her eyes. She is becoming more expressive with different faces that she makes. She holds her head up like a real champ and is a SQUIRMER! She loves to stretch out her arms and legs. She scared me the other day...I went in the room to turn her on her tummy because she was fussy. I came back to get her and she had flipped over onto her back!! We're watching her EXTRA closely now!
This month has been packed full of fun, new adventures, high emotions, sleepless nights, and sweet memories. I know it just gets better and we can't wait!

Hello McKenna, You are quite adorable. The hair is beautiful. It seems like your being good for your mom & dad. We are going to miss your mom at the school, but hopefully you could drag her along for a visit. We would love to meet you in person. Wishing you nothing but the best---Riley and the other 'Momma Burke'
