We just returned home from our yearly beach vacation to Cape San Blas. We had a great time with our friends - the Donner's, the Wheeler's & the Hickey's. Jonah and McKenna did awesome with all the other kids with us. Jonah absolutely loved the pool. He even got up the courage to jump in. He wasn't thrilled with the sand on the beach. Actually, I would venture to say he hated it. He either sat on a blanket or in one of our laps. He did enjoy the ocean waves so we stayed in the ocean alot. No complaints!
Jonah's vocabulary has exploded. He picks up new words everyday. Some of the words are hard to understand as you may have seen in the video on the previous post. I absolutely love to hear him talk. It makes me want to scoop him up and squeeze him!
Jonah's 2nd birthday is right around the corner - Aug. 28th. I'm venturing to bake his birthday cake which will be a 3D car cake. I've been watching alot of "Ace of Cakes" & "Cake Boss" so I feel pretty confident that I can do this. But if it doesn't work out then there's always a Publix cake. My birthday is coming up fast as well - Aug. 24th. I'll be 32 this year. Enough said!
McKenna has been smiling and cooing at us. Her anemia has greatly improved and she is filling out. I've been enjoying my maternity leave with her. I will greatly miss being home with her and Jonah but I'm also looking forward to going back to work. I'm sure I'll have alot of separation anxiety when Sept. 14th rolls around. It's the adjustment to all changes that will be hard. My days of being scheduled and ridged are gone. Now I've learned to "roll with the punches". Nothing is ever perfect and neither am I - nor do I want to be anymore. I have learned the meaning of how life changes after kids. Your whole world changes and it's amazing. P.S. McKenna slept through the night last night - she's 2 months! Hopefully, I can get a repeat of that tonight.
