More Fun Firsts...

Just a couple of new things happening with Miss McKenna that I thought I'd share with all who'd be interested :o)

McK is no longer using her baby bathtub!!! She is sitting like a big girl in the big tub all by herself. She doesn't know it yet, but I think the Easter Bunny is going to ask the Pediatrician about using bubble bath :o) Fun pictures to follow for sure!!

Yesterday we went to the beach to enjoy a beautiful, sunny morning. I had McKenna in her little tent and went to grab something out of the stroller. As I turned to look back at McK, she reached so far forward, stuck her little hand out of the tent door, got a HAND FULL of sand, and stuck it straight in her mouth!!! I was saying, "No-no-no-no-no" in a high, pitchy, squeaky voice as I tried to prevent the inevitable from happening...it was no use! So, one of my greatest concerns for the beach has come to pass and we can now move forward :o) She has done it once, will do it many more times I'm sure...(sigh).

Also, last night McK actually joined us for dinner. She ate what we ate! I fixed meatloaf, potatoes, green beans, and corn. She ate everything except the corn and LOVED it! She fed herself and was quite pleased. She seriously could not get enough meatloaf. I knew my girl would be a meat and potatoes kind of girl...last night just confirmed it. It's going to be so much fun having her eat what we eat and when we eat. It was nice to all sit at the table and enjoy a meal together as a family.

Our family hopes that each of you and yours are preparing your hearts to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior this coming week. We are so blessed, undeserving, and so thankful!

Josh liked to eat sand too - definitely did it more than once, but has finally outgrown it and doesn't seem any worse for the wear.
