3 Months Old

Makena turns 3 months old tomorrow! Can't believe how fast these months have gone. She changes literally every day. You know how people always say you never know how much you can love someone until you have children? Well, I must admit...it's true. It is truly indescribable how you feel when you become a mommy. When she smiles at me...my heart skips a beat. When I think about something bad happening to her...I feel physically ill. I believe now that a mother can kill for her children - like seriously club someone to death - for hurting her baby! The joy she brings to me daily is like nothing I've ever experienced. I can honestly say that being a mom is the most important role I've ever known and I feel blessed that I get to be her mom. I love you Makena Catherine Devine!!! (aka: chunky monkey, mooey, chunks to the monks, kena, kenabear, munchkin, sweet cheeks, mariah, valasor raptor....and the list goes on :)

GO COUGS!!!

Makena is now 10 weeks old (really?!) and growing fast. She watched her first Cougar Football game last Sat. and I know she is getting very excited to go there (or maybe I am just excited for Mom's weekends? :) For the game this Sat. she will be with Grandma Cath (greg's mom) so we can tailgate properly (aka: crush beers/behave like inappropriate college kids again).

Here are her stats from her 2 month appointment in case you were wondering: weight: 12 lbs 11 ounces (90th percentile) height: 23 1/2 inches (90th percentile) 38 cm head circumference (25th percentile) At least she's consistent (chubby and tall with a tiny head like mom!) The immunization shots were the worst part of the appt but she was a trooper (cried for 20 sec and then was fine). I think it was harder on us!

Here are some pictures of our angel with her cousin Mackenzie (they are 9 months apart) and Drew (almost 3).
