Nicknames: Kenna, Nenny, Nenna, Nenner, Nenner Benner, Nen, Buddy
Weight & Height: She weighs 57 lbs and is 52.5 inches tall. Her height is off the charts and her weight puts her at the 76%. She's tall and lean... her BMI puts her in the 29%.
Hair: Long blond hair. She wanted to grow it as long as Rapunzel's but I think I've finally got her talked into a haircut before school starts.
Favorite foods: Sushi, Hamburgers, Meatloaf
Favorite Drink: blue Gatorade
Favorite toys: her new iPod, Magic Fabric, anything that involves using her imagination
Favorite stuffed animal: Duckie
Favorite Books: Her goal for the summer was to be one of the top readers at our library so she could earn herself a special t-shirt :) She is doing really well and you can find her with her nose stuck in a book quite often. She loves to read non-fiction as well as Magic Tree House, BabySitter's Club Little Sister, Katie Kazoo series, and any of the Ramona books.
How I found her reading one morning...
Bedtime: It's summer and once again we've been slack about this. We try to have Makenna in bed by 8:30 and we let her read until 9:00.
Wake-up time: Her body clock typically wakes her up between 8:30 and 9:00. She is so our child :)
Best Friends: Makenna is a very social little girl and loves having friends to play with. She has unfortunately come to the age where friends are much cooler than mom and dad :( She has had some bad friend experiences lately though which has made her leary of friends and not as trustworthy. She would tell you that her best friends are Ana and Grace. She also loves her big cousin Josie!

Latest Accomplishment: This summer she started riding her big bike... and I mean the new bike she got for Christmas. She's been riding without training wheels for a few years now but she made the jump up to an even bigger bike quite effortlessly. She has also made huge gains in her swimming and can swim across the pool by herself.
Likes: playing with friends outside, listening to music, reading, writing in her journal (she's currently writing a play!), getting to stay up a 1/2 hour later than Maryn, anything girly
Dislikes: when her friends fight, when she doesn't get to socialize as much as she would like (which is a LOT!)
Makenna is a TERRIFIC big sister and is a huge help with Maya.
Activities: This summer she took swimming lessons, played softball and went to church day camp. She will be participating in AYSO soccer once again this fall and probably gymnastics in the winter.
Fears: Storms and bad weather. Although I can't say I blame her. We had "tornadic activity" confirmed right behind our house this summer which caused quite a bit of damage. The kid has a reason to fear storms and she worries that every rain cloud will produce a tornado.
Favorite shows: She is so not a TV girl. Wish I could say that about Maryn as well, but it only holds true for Makenna. If Makenna watches TV, her preference would probably be Phineas and Ferb or Shake It Up. She still likes Barbie movies, Tangled and Ramona & Beezus for movies.
Health: She's been really healthy outside of an icky virus she had a few weeks ago. She has also now lost 6 teeth and has 4 permanent teeth that have come in... they are very crooked, but they are in :)
Picture after she lost her 6th tooth!
