Our sweet baby girl is 9...and really not a baby at all. McKayla is such a special and wonderful girl. She is helpful around the house and with Bodie. She loves the animals, cooking, putting on shows for us, playing with her friends, inquiring about my makeup (and trying it on!), decorating her room, going to Starbucks with mom...and Cafe Rio with Dad, swimming, Legos, art, dance and tumble. She loves school and is happy to go every day. We have definitely noticed her "growing up" more and have entrusted her with some new responsilbilities which she has eagerly accepted and done well with. She will still cuddle with me (which I expect her to do for her whole life of course) and give me kisses before leaving for school. She has a good relationship with the Lord and likes to read her devotional before bed. We love our McKayla more than we could ever say and are so proud of all she has accomplished thus far. We pray the Lord will continue to bless and look over her through all her life experiences.
