- Mackenzie has been very busy doing big girl things lately! She and Ella have been enjoying their last days at the pool together before Ella leaves... they are both in that "I'll crawl on the cement if it means I can pick up that little tiny leaf I want to eat" stage. So cute!
Here she is chillin' at the RayRay's... here favorite place to hang!
This is her new cream cheese beard. She's old enough now to enjoy a lot of dairy products and she loves cream cheese or cottage cheese smeard on bread.
She really does eat some of it! But I think her favorite thing is painting the table, the chair, and herself with it!
- Her new tricks keep coming! She figured out she can throw things off the table and thinks it's quite funny... mommy does not! (Ok, I did laugh at first... am I always going to think these little things are cute at first then get myself into trouble for laughing?)
- She got a new tooth on the bottom... 7 teeth in all now!
- She has a new game she plays with daddy. They chase each other around the island in the kitchen, and then they stop, and peek their heads around the corner and when they see each other she cracks up and tries to chase him! He loves this little game with his little girl!
- We are almost done with baby food! She is eating mostly finger food now and I can't keep enough fresh fruits and veggies in the house! So far she likes healthy stuff! Avocado is still her favorite... weird, huh?
- She is finally letting me read to her! For the first 10 months of her life she has only liked to EAT books, now she will finally let me hold her and read to her! Her favorite is the one my mom got her for Christmas called "Peek-a-boo Kisses". She finds all the animals and pets each one with her finger. We're still working on making the animal sounds, not much luck yet!
- She totally says Mama and Dada now without question! She looks at each of us and says it! Last night we went on a date and dear Miss Sherie babysat for us. We waved bye-bye to her and she waved back and said "Dada"... breaking Jake's heart as we walked out the door!
- She's still playing "So Big", Peek-a-boo, waving hi and bye, clapping, and pulling herself up on everything! She's getting good at holding on with one hand and will "cruise" a tiny bit holding on the the furniture.
- We can't wait for Memom and Poppop to get home from their trip out West! Mackenzie's been missing her fan club of Uncle Stephen, Uncle Andy, and Aunt Amy too! Daddy is leaving soon for a big hiking trip with the guys... I've made lots of plans to keep us busy and out of mourning! And when Daddy gets back, 4 days later Nana and Poppop are coming up for a short visit! We are so excited to see them and Mackenzie can't wait to show them all her new tricks!
There's our update for now!
