my baby.

there's something about this {random} photo that i took with my cell phone that i love.
we were on our way to nashville for a marriage retreat {a post for another day} and mckinley fell asleep.
this girl is so full of energy when she's awake.
she's in to everything.
she never sits still long.
the other day she poured a whole one pound bag of grated cheddar cheese on my living room floor.
the day before that she cracked an egg on my favorite {fabric} chair.
not a day goes by that she doesn't lay on the floor crying/screaming for something to go her way.
there's never less than two cups of water on the bathroom floor during bath time courtesy of mckinley.
she insists on wearing pants...even if they're under her dress.
she is papa's princess. and she knows it.
guess who got two new pairs of shoes yesterday? not me. princess mckinley.

this girl is a mess.

but, look at those little fingers and toes.
they're still.
and precious.
i love them.
and i love her.

{mama loves you, sweet mckinley.}
