Baby Proofing Here We Come

So Makenna is now scooting around the house, not crawling, but kinda slithering with her arms and legs pushing and pulling. She reminds me of a little polliwog. It is nice that she can move a little on her own because she can get to things that she wants more easily and therefore is content on the floor for longer. It does however mean that I need to keep a better watch on her and we need to start baby proofing the house. We had a basket of magazines on the floor in the living room.

It is a bit poetic as the magazine that she ripped up is entitled "Parents". Hmm...Maybe if I had gotten around to reading that issue the magazine wouldn't have met its demise.

Baby Dedication

On Father's Day weekend Makenna got dedicated. You always see the kids that are screaming as they are up on stage and we were so worried that Makenna would be that child. Luckily she was great! She was calm and smiley and did a wonderful job. Scott dedicated Makenna at CBC. It was so neat because he was there with my family in the waiting room the long night before Makenna was born and was amongst the first of the family members to hold her. He made her dedication so personal and wonderful.

Grandma Quilt

My mom made a quilt for Makenna a little before her 6-month birthday. I am posting this a little late as she is almost 7-months old, but better late than never. My sisters and I all had a "Grandma Quilt" when we were growing up that we took with us everywhere and still have today. My Grandma Etzen, my dad's mom, had made the quilts for each of us and my mom wanted Makenna to have a special quilt that she could use also. Thank you mom for the beautiful quilt!!
