Animal noises

He loves to say moooo and ooohh aaahhh which is for a monkey. He walks around saying this and it's the cutest.

lil monkey

We brought in his play area since it's too cold and rainy outside. He loves playing on this. He has no fear. He already jumped from the very top and landed on his butt. It didn't seem to bother him. I freaked out though.

Mckenna Harriet Greene

About 3:30 am on 11/12/09 I woke up and could not fall back to sleep. I was leaking lots of fluid but my water didn't actually break. I couldn't figure out why since I wasn't having any contractions. So I cleaned and got our bags ready and then watched some TV. Justin woke up at 5:30 am for work and wondered what the hec I was doing up. I told him what was going on and that he should still go to work since I wasn't having contractions. He left for work and Max and I hung out then took a nap. We woke up at 9am and I was still leaking fluid. I thought this was weird and totally different than when I was in labor with Max. So I called the doctor to ask why this was happening and what I should do. She said, um your in labor and should go to the hospital. So I took a shower, dried my hair, put a little spray tan on and did my make up. I was sure this was not it but if it was, I wanted to take decent pictures. I called Justin and suggested he come home. Around 10am we left for the hospital and dropped of Max and grandma's. Once we got to the hospital they said I was there for good and that I was in early labor. At 3:30pm they induced me since I wasn't having contractions. By about 5pm I was having contractions and counting down the minutes until I could have an epidural. At 7pm my hero showed up and gave me an epidural. However it only worked on the right side of my body so the left felt totally normal. I felt like I was half baked (not literally). So they upped the dosage and then I was in heaven. They checked me at about 9:45 pm and she was ready to come out. The doc came in and I pushed 3 times on 1 contraction and she was out. Mckenna Harriet Greene was born at 10:01pm on 11/12/09. 6 lbs, 10 oz and 19 inches long. We have officially completed our family.

Max & Mckenna

Mckenna does the same thing Max did when he was born. They both like to sleep with their hands up by their head.

Max giving kisses









Letting his little sister give him a kiss on his forehead

Giving Kisses

Max is finally warming up to the idea of having a little sister. He is giving Mckenna kisses and letting her kiss him on the forehead. He now loves to give her kisses and is much more gentle towards her.

Max being silly

I just love how he throws all of the container lids out of his drawer. However today, he started picking up his mess and putting the lids back in the drawer. Very proud of him.

Max also had his 1 year checkup. He is in the 89th percentile for height and 40th for weight. So he is tall and slender. He is healthy as a horse so it was a good visit.

Halloween Chicken

So Max decided to be a chicken for Halloween this year. At first he hated the outfit but it grew on him. We weren't sure how he would like trick or treating but he actually loved it. The outfit kept him warm too. He was roasting!!! ha ha if you didn't get that, your lame. :)
