4 Months Old!!!!

Today McKaila Rose is 4 months old. She is getting so big and we love seeing all the new things she learns day to day. Tomorrow she has her 4 month check up, and we're excited to see how much she's grown in the past two months.

She's been rolling over a lot. She's been rolling from her tummy to her back for the last few days, but today she from her back to her tummy.

Visitors

This past weekend we had some visitors. Grandma Kuipers (Heather's Mom) and Great Grandma Holtgeerts (Heather's Grandma) came to visit for a long weekend. This was the first time for Great Grandma Holtgeerts to meet McKaila and the 3rd time Grandma Kuipers was able to travel to Waldorf to see McKaila.
We did a lot of shopping, which included a lot of summer clothing for McKaila. She is one spoiled baby. One day we traveled to Andrews AFB to see Daddy at work and do some shopping at the BX. More clothes and a toy for McKaila and an Air Force sweatshirt for me. Can't wait for summer, so McKaila can wear all the cute clothes we bought her.  After Courtney got out of work, we went to Applebee's to see Auntie Amber at work. McKaila is so good when we go out, she just loves to look around and see all the new surroundings. Ofcoarse we had to have one day to go to Ikea. We put McKaila in the Baby Bjorn and she's set to go. She loves it.

Love these big green eyes
 Took this one for Grandpa Kuipers, since he couldn't come to visit.

Also, this past weekend, Courtney and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary. Grandma Kuipers and Great Grandma Holtgeerts were nice enough to take McKaila off our hands for the night, to allow us to go out to dinner just the two of us. We ended up going to dinner at Olive Garden. We realized that night too, that we went to Olive Garden on our 1st Anniversary. Guess it's going to end up being our Anniversary place. All in all we had a wonderful Anniversary and can't wait to celebrate many more!!

McKaila's 1st Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day Friends and Family!

Today in Waldorf it was 66!! It was so incredibly nice outside, so I (Heather) decided to take McKaila out for an afternoon walk. It was too nice outside to be sitting inside all day. So, around noon Auntie Amber decided to join us for a walk before she headed to work for the night.
We walked for about 45 minutes and McKaila enjoyed every minute of it. She was busy looking around and enjoying the scenery. Even after we ended our walk, the 3 of us sat outside for awhile, just enjoying the wonderful weather.


 It was a great Valentines Day even though Courtney had to work all day, but he did come home to surprise us for a few minutes before having to head back to work. We didn't do anything special for Valentines Day. We just stayed at home and relaxed.
Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day!!! Love you all!!!

Randomness

So, since we didn't have internet, it was very hard for me to update the blog. But on those day we took some adorable pics of McKaila that we just needed to share.

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Kuipers

Yesterday McKaila got her Valentines Day presents in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa Kuipers. She loved them, especially the little cheerleader. Everytime we push the buttom to do a cheer, she smiles so big. So cute... I think we have a little cheerleader on our hands :-)

Happy Valentines Day McKaila

Boppy :-)

McKaila doesn't like spending too much time on her tummy. Usually she starts freaking out within minutes of putting her down. So we started tummy time with the help from the Boppy. She loves it. She looks around and watches T.V. it's so darn cute. Every day our little girl amazes us on the new things she can do. A couple days ago, she rolled over for the first time. It was very exciting!!
