One of McKay's favorite places to go is between the couches. There is just enough room (conveniently) for him to squeeze through. We keep some of his books back there (they don't all fit) and he loves to go back there and read them. I'll be fixing dinner or something and he is
really quiet. Usually he is sitting somewhere reading a book. I am so glad he loves to read books, though sometimes I think he takes advantage of the fact that I will almost always stop what I am doing to read a book he brings to me. I have a feeling we will be moving the couches to make the 'door'
bigger when McKay gets bigger.
We opted to put up a little Christmas tree this year and leave our big tree in the garage. McKay loves our little tree and will often go back there to look at the lights, growl at the bear ornaments, or smell the tree. (yes, it is fake). The Christmas lights in our house are always on as long as McKay is around!
Whenever I am in my room folding laundry or something McKay is usually playing in the closet (unless he is putting Jordan's clothes or shoes left on the floor in his (McKay's) hamper). Today he found my water shoes and kept putting the little draw string up to his ear. Sometimes we let him hear the music playing on the ipod on one headphone an inch or so from his ear. It looked like a headphone to him.
I kept asking him if he could hear music and he kept trying to hear something. They do look pretty similar. This picture was taken with the video camera. :(
I don't think I'll ever put these rings up! Who knows what he will do with them next?! He also walks around the house with canning bottle rings on his arms, left over from playing in the lid drawer. He is getting pretty creative with where he puts things. He filled Jordan's shoes with Legos and stuffed all the lids he could into the dishtowel drawer that was open a couple of inches. I am thoroughly enjoying McKay as his personality continues to develop and as he explores and learns. He is a fun little guy with a contagious laugh.

Boys who love to read are such a treat! I just ran back to the mall because I realized that I forgot to get the kids a book for Christmas. They all love to read and it's become tradition.
I think McKay is getting cuter by the second. We can't wait to see y'all!
McKay looks really big in these pictures. I can't wait to see him. What a cute boy.
Maria he is so Handsome! I love how fun they are at this age but I can't believe how much he is starting to look like a little "man"!
As always, fun to catch up on your family with your blog. sorry to hear about your camera! We were wondering...going to UT for Christmas? We'll be there and would love to see you if you are!
McKay is staring to look so grown up. You had better start watching your garbage cans. Jackson loved putting things in the garbage - still does (even though we have a child lock on it). The other day I couldn't find Abagail's socks. I asked Jackson if he had seen them and he told me they were in the garbage - sure enough he had put them in the garbage. At least he would tell me :-) Lashelle
McKay looks like he has a bowl cut in some of those pictures. It is amazing how fast little ones grow up. Hope you had a great Christmas and thanks for all the gifts...although one gift in particular has caused a new problem...now Kenton won't take off his batman pajama shirt. He has worn it since he opened it on Christmas...I have been trying to convince him to at least let me wash it...with no luck so far. Happy late New Year too!
