I feel guilty that I have been a bad blogger these past several months. 2 kids are much trickier than 1. Especially my two little fireballs so close together. They definitely keep me on my toes!
McKenna sprouted her first tooth at six months. She got her two incisors first, then her two bottom ones, then her two front middle ones. They all came within about a month.
She started crawling around seven months. Slow at first, but now she's pretty darn good! She can even do a bear crawl to avoid tripping over her dresses.
McKenna and Jake have a love hate relationship at this point. McKenna loves Jake and is always trying to play with him and be by him. Jake pretty much ignores her, except for when he hits her and pushes her down. There are moments where he's really sweet to her. Rocking her car seat when she cries, bringing her a toy when she's sad, and picking up her sippy cup when it falls. There are also moments when McKenna seems to get a fire in her eye and goes after Jake. She can take things from him that he can't get back sometimes. She's knocked him over several times when he's taken a toy from her. She's usually really sweet, but she doesn't let anybody mess with her. Especially Jake!
Jake is turning into quite a good helper. He loves to help me make dinner, unload the dishwasher, and clean. This morning I used the restroom while McKenna was finishing her breakfast. I heard Jake yell "oopsie, McKenna cereal fall down." I came out a minute later to find him sweeping the spilled cereal and watermelon with the broom into the dust pan. When that didn't work too well for him, he picked up every piece and set it in the dustpan. Then he went and opened the pantry and dumped the mess into the trash can with a very proud grin. It was so sweet!
This summer Andrew was very blessed to get a second internship at Chase Bank. He had originally excepted an offer from capital one in Richmond Virginia, but the company wasn't too impressive, so he ended up working at Chase again. It was much more financially helpful, and it was also really nice to not have to move for the summer. It was a little rough because Andrew had to take our only car to work every day, and I were stuck at home. We spent a lot of time at the park, doing chalk on the sidewalk outside of our apartment, and going on walks/runs with a jogging stroller I bought off of craigslist.
My mom also came down several times and stayed for a few days at a time. That was a lot of fun! You want to parks, zoombezi bay, the zoo, splash pads, and all over town. The kids love her, and so do I!
