You Don't Know Nuffin!



Mckinley turned 5 months old today. It still blows my mind that she's here. She has been such a wonderful addition and I can already say that it's hard to remember life before her. She has the sweetest personality and is so easy to be around. She LOVES eating. This week we started eating sweet peas and she enjoys them immensely! She's rolling over and wants to sit up so badly. She's growing like a weed. I'm already looking forward to spending time with both of them this summer!
Brax and I were off because of the President's Day holiday so this morning we were able to take our time getting ready. I told Braxton he and I could have a "Date Day" and we'd go see a movie and spend the day together. We all got ready and we took Mckinley to maw-maw's and headed off to run some errands before our movie started. He could not wrap his mind around the fact that we had three hours before the movie started (Puss in Boots 3D- a must see. He was laughing out loud and grabbing at the 'things" floating in 3D)and had a million questions during our ride there and while we were running around. "Why do they put salt out? What ryhmes with amazing? How do they make straws? Why do cars go so fast?" After about the 300th question (no lie, the 300th!) and my repeated, "I don't know Buddy" he replied "You don't know nuffin!"

Point....Not Taken



There is something about these two. There's a bond there already. They don't even realize that the other is making the SAME expression in the pictures. Mckinley has been so congested today. It kills me because I want to say so bad "Just Blow" when I put a tissue to her nose and it's even harder that she can't understand "Just open your mouth and breathe". She's been a trooper. Tonight I took her into Brax's room and laid her on the bed and she immediately began laughing. Brax got next to her and she started talking. And then he started talking. He went to a little friends birthday party yesterday and he had a blast.
He told me that Luke's daddy had to tell the boys and girls not to jump on the furniture. Here's how the rest of the conversation went:
Me- "Were you jumping on the furniture?"
Brax- "Yes, but all the kids were".
Me- (Can't believe I said it) "Well Brax if all the other kids jumped off a building would you?"
Brax-"Nope"
(Pause)
Brax- " I'd stay on the building and wait for the rope!"
Do you think he understood what I was saying?
