11 months old, a Birthday Photo Shoot & some "oooohhhs"
Makena is 11 months old today. Hard to believe that in 1 short month she will be 1! These are some photos I took of her for her birthday invitations (the ones I didn't use). She was quite cooperative, and luckily my little camera did the trick. Noa would have liked her dressed and posed much more traditionally and fancy, but I won out (as usual) when it comes to pictures and invitations.Although Makena is not saying words yet, she does say "oooohhhh" whenever she sees something she likes, or when you hand her anything (note first picture). And I mean anything. She is very appreciative :). This morning she did an "uh-oh," which Noa and I thought was really funny, though I can't remember what she reacted to.She knows daddy, mommy, and Nanea and "sissy." She answers to all the funny nicknames we've given her, "Kenna, Kenny, Kens." Noa said he would never call her "Kenny," but he uses it too.She is pulling herself up on everything she can, and walking along the furniture. She has finally abandoned her "army crawl," which I appreciate since she is not covered in dog hair all the time now. We think that walking is not far away. She has also discovered that she can go up the stairs. It is her favorite thing to do, and she can go up the entire 2 flights upstairs on her own. She's been doing that for a couple of weeks, so that makes a lot of trips up and down for me, since I follow her up each time (I'm paranoid that she'll fall backwards). The second I look away from her, she's going up the stairs.Makena is a very sensitive soul. If you raise your voice and give her a stern look, she immediately melts into tears. Only when directed to her. I can be holding her and yelling at her big sister, and she just looks on inquisitively.Happy Month-day Kenna! She won't be a baby much longer, so I'm going to relish in it while I can!
