Half a year.....

I have officially decided that 6 months is the best age. Mckinley is so much fun! She is quite the chatty Kathy and we love to watch her play- she entertains herself by banging whatever is in her left and right hand together. She LOVES solid foods, loves to sit up and more importantly, loves her "dada", which she says over and over. Oddly enough, she also REALLY likes her Domo toy. What is Domo you ask? He is a Japanese plush character- I have always loved him and now, luckily, you can buy him @ Target (dressed in various costumes for various holidays). She thinks he is the funniest thing ever--we are truly kindred spirits Mckinley and I :)
We also bought a new car this weekend- a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. I know what you are thinking about the Hyundai- I was skeptical too BUT it was a great deal, has the best warranty you can buy and it is really nice. I will post some pictures later today but this morning is dedicated to my little Miss. A video of her "talking"- she thinks screaming is communicating and morning time is when she is the most talkative. We love her so much! (sorry the video is crooked!)

What a cutie! I love when they talk. And her laugh last night was so cute! Love the new car! We'll have to go for a drive.

Are you sure she was not trying to sound the dolphins :) jk. I love the little screech. She has grown fast that is for sure.

She is getting so big. Six months is a great time. And then 12, 18...they just get more fun the older they get. I'm just waiting till Jill can sleep more than a 4 hour stretch. That will be a highlight for me. Can't wait to see the car. I know what you mean. We traded in our car for a minivan and I think it is the most awesome thing ever. How sad am I.

Such a funny video! Keep 'em comin! There are a lot of people who count on seeing more! How did the yard 'sale'ing go on Saturday? You didn't give us the update on that! Any good finds besides the Bumbo?

Sweet sounds! She is either going to be an opera star or maybe the elk hunting has promise. Love the video. Send more! Miss you all!
