Here is a funny little video of Mason riding his bike for the first time.  He is funny, you can hear him telling his bike to "Slow Down".

Wow, I can’t believe McKinley is already 6 months old.  She actually seems older since she was sitting up, getting into a sitting position and crawling all before she turned 6 months!  She is so little, so it looks kinda funny!  She is in the 95% for length and only the 23% for weight.  She doesn’t look that long but all of her clothes are really baggy on her but too short!  How sad will it be if she gets my dad’s height and Mason has mine! LOL!!  She is already such a talker.  She jabbers all the time and she’s not very quiet about it!  I’m not sure why both our kids are so loud.  They must get it from their dad!  Along with all their energy!  McKinley at least sleeps really good, Mason was really busy too, but didn’t ever nap.  She loves her big brother so much and follows him around all the time.  Mason is so good with her and loves playing with her.  He get so excited when she gets up from her naps!  Sometimes he gets a little rough, but she seems to handle it ok.  She also loves Bogee and pesters him all the time!  Poor dog, sometimes both her and Mason go after him at the same time!  She loves her mommy very much and I love to watch her crawl after me, giving me her little high pitched girly whine when she wants me to pick her up! LOL!  Which actually isn’t very often, she would rather be on the floor playing than being held or sitting on someone’s lap.  Which in nice sometimes, but not so nice when we’re somewhere where we can’t put her down.  She also loves her daddy and lights up and gives him a big smile when he comes home from work.  She’s started saying "dada", which I think doesn’t mean anything even though she says it a lot when she’s looking at him!   We found out that she LOVES swimming!  We went up to Snow Bird and she was almost as hard to get out of the pool as Mason was!  She loves eating paper and finds it everywhere!  She seems to be a little bit of a troublemaker already!  She loves when dad plays superman with her, it almost always produces a giggle!  She has started eating some cereal and some fruit.  I was so strict with Mason when it came to his food.  He had to go through all the veggie’s first before any fruit and she hasn’t even had any veggie’s yet!  Mason didn’t get any "unnatural sugar" until he was 11 months old and that was because someone else gave him a marshmellow and the other day Mason started yelling at me and I found McKinley sucking away on his ring pop!! LOL!!  I guess you relax a little when it’s not your first kid!  She loved the ring pop by the way, her mouth was a little blue from it and she got a little mad when I took it away!  

Ok, on to the pictures!  Jeremy did a little photoshoping and put her name on some of them and it’s so cute so I’m showing both of them.  She really likes to have both her hands in the air when we take pictures for some reason.  Then we have a few of Mason and then one of them together!  Enjoy!!

Here is a funny little video of Mason making McKinley laugh.  They are so cute together.  She sure loves her big brother!

Ok, this is actually old news for what she is doing now, but I thought we should hurry and make a post about her rolling over. She is growing up so fast and is very anxious to advance so she can play with her big brother.   I took some fun pictures of her rolling over and Britt made a really cute scrapbook page of it, so check it out.

Check back soon, we are going to be posting some video as well as some more pictures.
