Look I'm Standing

1-30-10 MaKenna stands at Grandma's coffee table. A little wobbly but so proud. You can tell she was excited! Just as excited as mom, since she hasn't stood for this period of time.

MaKenna was sooooo excited to be "standing" at the kitchen set.
She loved looking at herself in the mirror behind the sink.

She was really fascinated by the color plates.

Tyler, Ashley, Caelan and Nolan play infront of a green screen.

Their images were projected onto the computer screen in front of them.

They could "play" different sports like, soccer, snowboarding, etc.
