Makinley Translations
While in her high chair, Makinley says a few things pretty regularly. Here are their meanings:
All Done: Pick me up now. Get me out of this chair. Now.
All Done. Uh Oh: I don’t need this food anymore. It’ll probably look good on the floor. I think I’ll start throwing it. You didn’t pick me up fast enough - this mess is your fault.

- Luke: Mom, can I fill up this gun?
- Duff: Why are you calling that Pez dispenser a gun?
- Luke: Well, it's kind of like a gun. See, I'm reloading it now.
“Bailey is super adorable. She’s almost the cutest toddler in the whole wide universe.”
Luke
- We played our most recent family game last night. It happened to be a game of Settler's of Catan. Duff, Kelly, Maddie, Gavin, and Keagan were playing. Luke is a bit young for the game so he was on Kell's team.
- Today, Luke was prancing around proudly carrying the trophy since he and Kell won.
- Luke: You know Mom, I am the champion.
- Kelly: You are?
- Luke: Well, you're kind of the champion too because you were on my team. But you were just the sheep trader and I was the roller. The roller's a more important job.
