Zoo

We took Mckayla to the zoo for the first time. Her favorite animals were the giraffes and the wild cats.

Our Sunshine

Mckayla is an active and growing toddler. Here is a definition I came up with to define her toddler stage.
Toddler=wanting to go to the park everyday, requesting pretzels, cookies, and cheese for breakfast, thinks every movie is Baby Einstein or Elmo, can name all the zoo animals, can count to ten skipping a few numbers in between, is seen having tantrums at the store when she can't have a new ball, and must have her favorite blanket and stuffed animal (Hello Kitty) to sleep with.

Cousins

Bubbles, Balls, and Elmo?

These are some of Mckayla's favorite things. We keep our bubbles in the cupboard above the fridge. Mckayla will always point up to the cupboard and say "bubbles." She even thinks that everyone has bubbles in their kitchen cupboard. Each time we go to a store that has a display of balls, Mckayla has already found her way over to the display and has pulled out as many balls as she can. I think she likes to see me chase all the balls she has thrown down the aisle! Mckayla also can't get enough of Elmo. From reading Elmo books to playing with her Tickle Me Elmo doll, getting enough Elmo is always a dilemma for this 17 month old. Getting an Elmo DVD is next on our list.

Sledding

Justin and I took Mckayla out sledding for the first time at the begining of this month. She seemed to like the first couple of runs down the hill, but after that she got a little scared.
