8 weeks old!!

We went in to the school this week to see all the kids. Oh how I miss them. One of them said, "Mrs. Williams, you're not fat anymore!" Lovely children. They sure loved Mckenna! Mckenna sleeps like this all the time - with her hands up and her legs crossed. It is so hilarious - it reminds me of a litte frog.


Mckenna is now 8 weeks old! I can't believe how fast the time goes by, and how much she's grown. I was thinking today, I can't remember how little she was when she was born. I'm so sad I already forgot that. I just wish I could capture every moment and almost stop time - she's just growing too fast.

So I had my six-week appointment the other day (it was more like my 8-week) and Mckenna weighed a whopping 8 lbs. 14 oz.! I really couldn't believe it. I know that's still considerably small but for gaining 4 pounds since the hospital I was very proud. :) Not only is she gaining more weight, but lastnight she slept for 7 hours! The whole night! (I think part of it was because she didn't feel good - but hey, 7 hours is 7 hours).

She's beautiful :)

That's so funny the comment your kids made! I bet you're so happy she slept well- that definitely makes things easier when Mommy can get her rest.

4 lbs... way to go chubs!! OK chubs so does not apply here- but she is growing- and its her job. Good job baby!!

What a cutie Mckenna is! I can't believe she is 2 months! Way to go on the sleeping--just what you deserved for being such a devoted mommy!

Yay 'kennas on the sleep and the weight gain!! I miss her so much and love her fuzzy socks. Give her a sucker for a reward from Aunt Melissa :)
