Here are some more way cute pictures of McKinley! (and my mom in some of them
) My mom is such a good sport. She came up here to go shopping with me and after a long day of shopping, we come back to the house to rest and Jeremy asks her to let him take pictures of her so he can test out his new backdrop! I wouldn’t do it for him for very long so then he talked my mom into it! Well of course we had to throw one of the kids in there too, and as usual, some great pictures came out of it! My dad got her this cute little hat she’s wearing for Christmas! Needless to say, he was not very pleased when the pictures were not of him and her!! LOL

I love this one with her hand on her face…what a little model already!!

She’s a great bubble blower too! These next ones are of her first time to Church!! I know, I know, she’s almost 3 months old, but all I could think about was everyone wanting to touch and hold her lol! Then she did the usual and slept through the whole thing anyway!! But, she just looked so adorable in her little dress that we had to take some pictures!

You will notice in all these pictures, she’s hardly ever not smiling. She is such a happy baby and all it takes is a glance at her and she just grins away! Since we are a few days away from her being 3 months old, I’ll just do a little update on her. Like I just said, she is extremely happy all the time. The only time she ever really cries is when she is hungry. She still loves to be held, but is getting lots better at just sitting in her little bouncer and watching the fish go by! She still is an amazing sleeper, almost always sleeping through the night (6-8 hours) and then taking a few long naps during the day along with several cat naps! She loves watching everything around her, as long as she’s sitting up! No laying down for this girl, she needs to be up where she can see everything! She is "talking" all the time and even "talking" to herself when no one is looking at her. We can already tell she’s going to be a chatter box! She loves her Mommy very much and when I’m around at all and someone else is holding her, she starts to fuss a little until I take her! If she can’t see or hear me, she is usually just fine. Or if the person that’s holding her is talking to her, then she could care less where I was! LOL
A little bit on Mason, he is potty trained!! There a still a few little "issues" we are working out, but he has done amazingly well. We did the 3 day method and on the second day, he only had 1 accident. We were pleasantly surprised how quickly he took to it! He is still just as rambuncious as ever! I took a parenting class called Parenting with Love and Logic and it seems to be working. He even sent himself to his room one day when he was starting to act up and I asked him if he needed to go to his room. He just looked at me and said "Yes" and proceeded to march upstairs. I followed him to see what he was going to do and he asked me to turn his light on, then shut the door! He stayed up there for about 15 minutes then came down, said he was sorry, and gave me a hug!! It was pretty funny! He also doesn’t fight us to go to bed anymore because he knows if he does he doesn’t get stories read to him, which is one of his favorite things to do! He’s pretty much a really good kid, but the winter was hard on him, not being able to go outside and burn some of his endless energy! Anyway, that’s all for now, I can’t believe we don’t have pictures of him to put up here!!
