McKay has a small ball that lights up when you hit it against something. Jordan got it at BYU when he was recruiting. The light stopped working so McKay used the plug on my curling iron to try to give it more power by trying to plug the prongs into the ball. Even though it doesn't quite work that way, I was impressed with the connection he made!

McKay likes to spin around to get 'dissee' (dizzy) and pretend to crash into walls and furniture.
McKay likes to tease me and say that when the stoplight turns purple, we can go. As a side note, green is his new favorite color.

Jordan asked McKay what we should name the baby. He said 'Nanna, Papa, Dustin'. :)
When we say 'love you McKay' he says 'luf u kay'. He repeats what we say - buddy, handsome, etc. So cute.

Our library has a parking garage under the library so I usually give McKay the option of parking up or down. He always says down. Who wouldn't when you can reach the buttons to push on the elevator? The funny thing is once we get under ground, McKay whispers everything he says to me. "Mama... hi!" I am not sure why but it sure is cute!
Jordan came home from Costco with something for me he didn't want me to see so he came in the house and walked backward into our bedroom. McKay thought that was pretty neat and followed him, backward. THEN he thought Jordan should carry everything into the house backward and he did the same.
McKay loves cookies and enjoys having one after he finishes his dinner. One evening we were all eating cookies and McKay pointed to a chocolate chip he could see in his cookie. Then he took a bite and said 'bye bye'.
McKay's latest thing is to point at us and say 'no touch, no touch', especially when he and Jordan are 'wrestling'. He also likes to tell us to 'shhhh!' for no apparent reason. I think he got this from when we were at Jordan's company holiday party and the sitters were trying to get the kids to sleep. He completes the ensemble by putting his finger to his lips.

McKay has become quite the negotiator. When he asks for something, he'll count to 5 or 10 or sometimes even seventeen (skipping a couple to get to it) meaning he wants that many crackers or shows or whatever it is we are talking about.

McKay counted to 10 all by himself when he was counting the toys he'd thrown on the floor in the kitchen. It was the first time Jordan and I had heard him do it.
McKay loves to mimic our movements or words/sounds to tease us. He thinks it is SO funny and does his best to catch our eye and grin so we know he is teasing us.

McKay instantly laughs when he falls down or over unless he gets hurt then he cries. He rarely cries though and it is so funny to watch him laugh at himself. Often he will pretend to fall again and again, laughing at himself over and over.

On our way home from having lunch with Jordan, McKay looked out the window and said 'woah!' I asked him what he saw and he said 'choo choo'! Sure enough, the line of cars waiting to turn left DID look like a long train. The rest of the drive McKay was on the lookout for more trains. Anything lined up is a train: vitamins, chairs, toys, magnets, etc.
A man Jordan works with gave him some powder that is like chili powder but different. McKay spotted it on the table and was sure he wanted some on his cucumbers just like Daddy. So Jordan put a little on one and gave it to him. We told him if he liked it he could have it on the rest of his cucumbers. The cucumber barely crossed his lips and he said 'ya, more'. We just watched him and the more he chewed his expression changed and he changed his mind. 'no me, dada sauce'. I'm pretty sure he won't be asking for it again!
McKay says 'Hi Santa!' to the Santa on our neighbors roof every time we drive by.

After being in AZ for a week and a half, McKay is anxious to go back to 'Dustin's house' and constantly asks if that is where we are going when we get into the car.
See the train of shapes? McKay loves to play with play doh.
One of McKay's many towers of blocks. Lately McKay plays with his blocks a lot and comes up with all sorts of shapes. I love watching his imagination develop.
McKay's visit to the Discovery Museum with Daddy. He loves the 'mu-ee-um'.
Dice!
Life size monopoly game outside of the museum.
