15 month check up

McKinley's 15 Month Check-Up
We went to the doctor yesterday for McKinley's 15 month check up. She had to get two shots. I thought oh no big deal she will be fine. She hasn't reacted badly to any of the other ones she has gotten from the past. Boy was I wrong! She bawled and bawled the entire time at the doctor and on the way home. When we got home I gave her a bottle and she kept looking up at me saying ma-ma ow-ie and pointing to her legs! Break my flippin heart! She wasn't fevering so I put her in her crib and she took a good long nap. Daddy got home from work and I left for a few hours to go get my hair done. When I got home she seemed to be fine, put her to bed like usual...and then....BAWLING....crying for ma-ma! Let's just say I was up till after 2 this morning with a fevered, non happy, snuggly baby! After soothing and snuggling she went to bed, but this morning I had to give her some baby meds still. Poor baby! I really hate seeing her so miserable! She is down for a nap right now and hopefully when she wakes up she will be feeling much better! 15 month check up's are for the birds!
Clarification though, McKinley is growing perfectly and is healthy! Doctor said she was doing great! She is also starting to WALK dun dun dun! Finally! haha! She took a few steps the other day...maybe by Christmas we will have a walking baby...prolly not though she loves her knees! bahaha!
Height: 75%
Weight: 20%

Being a Mommy Makes Me Merry!

Gearing up for the holidays! I hear my little munchkin in her room playing in her crib right now instead of taking a nap, and I just feel an enormous amount of happiness and gratitude of being her ma...ma! She makes me soooo happy and merry! McKinley is a ball of energy and keeps me on my toes. I cannot remember life without her. Our family has been blessed ever since she joined us! Here is to a happy holiday season, and being merry for the little things and the little blessings (mckinley's) in our lives!
She loves her da..da (those are the presents for my family to take to Oregon..no i am not that ready for Christmas yet!)

She is Santa's lil' helper!
