Nicknames: Kenna, Nenny, Nenners, Buddy, Peanut
Weight & Height: Her doctor's appointment is next week so we will know for sure then. She seems to be leveling off in height and filling out a little more :)
Hair: Still long blond wispy hair, usually messy and windblown from playing outside. The various haircuts she has given herself over the years are finally starting to grow out :)
Favorite foods: Makenna is on a huge kick where she likes to try new things and typically picks out one new item every trip to the grocery store. Last time she wanted me to get eggplant - anyone have any recipes?? She still likes brats, hamburgers, hamburger pizza, any and all fruit, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, healthy sandwiches and really almost anything. She's not a picky eater at all.
Favorite Drink: Mostly she just drinks skim milk, water and watered down apple juice. But it is summer time and she has been able to indulge in a juice box at various special occasions.
Favorite toys: Anything princess! On almost any given day you will find her dressed up in a princess dress with all the accessories prancing around our house.
Favorite stuffed animal: Duckie
Favorite Books: The Five Little Monkeys books
Bedtime: As typically happens at our house, bedtime is getting pushed back a little later due to summer. Hopefully she's in bed by 8:00 most nights but she doesn't typically fall asleep right away.
Wake-up time: She's on the summer sleep-in schedule :) Typically doesn't get up before 8:00 and somedays it's even 8:30 or 9:00!
Naps: Naps??? What are those???
Favorite person: Any little kid... The neighbors Aly, Faith, Summer and Ana. Her girl cousins Josie and Hannah. And her friends from preschool and church, Hanna and Zariya.
Latest Accomplishment: She started reading in March and has continued to progress in her reading. She amazes me every time! She is sounding out new words constantly and really enjoys reading. She also has learned to ride a bike (with training wheels) this summer and has done remarkably well with it. We've only had a few minor crashes and she caught herself every time!
Likes: playing outside with little kids (doesn't matter who - she'll make a new friend if she has to!)
Dislikes: that Mommy and Daddy don't let her roam the neighborhood like the rest of the kids, pickles
What gets said about Makenna most often: Recently I've been asked numerous times if she is going to kindergarten this fall. When I told them she was still only three they could hardly believe it. A few people even questioned me like I didn't know my own daughter's age!
Best known for: being friendly, her yellow duck, ability to make friends anytime/anywhere, her compassion
Fears: the window in her room and the noises that come from it at night, bad dreams
Favorite shows: Probably the new movie she got for her birthday... Barbie's Fairytopia
Health: We're still dealing with her sun allergy/sensitivity this summer but so far we've got it under control. We are also still in the process of trying to get some allergy testing done and that will give us some insight into her antibiotic allergy. She had strep throat for the first time this spring :( Her tonsils are so large (even when she's not sick) that the doctors are considering taking them out for preventive reasons. I didn't realize they did that. Other than what I would consider these minor issues, she is a very healthy kid!
How she's like Daddy: Very compassionate person who loves to help others.
How she's like Mommy: Very well behaved and eager to please. She wants to be a good girl and tries so hard to be one all the time. If she is acting up, all I typically have to do is give her a stern look and she immediately apologizes, feels bad, and sometimes even starts to cry.
