"Hi folks! It's Mackenzy! I'm 9 weeks old and so much has happened since Mommy went back to work. I spend most of my mornings with Daddy and we take naps, watch Sports Center, play with my toys, and I even spit up for him! In the afternoons I go to Mrs. Karen's house for a few hours and play with her. We play, eat, and sleep so Mommy can go work out! Last time I was weighed I was 9 lbs 16 oz and I go back to the doctor on 11/24. Mommy hopes I'll be over 10 lbs at this appointment and she keeps warning me that I'm getting these terrible things called shots. I don't know what those are but she told me not to worry because she'll be right there with me...
Anyways, on Friday night I woke Mommy up because I made a wonderful discovery... I have hands... 2 of them! I was sucking on them so hard that Mommy woke up from a good sleep and laughed! If I aim right I can get my thumb in my mouth all by itself, but I'm still working on that.
(Mommy needs to get a video camera for all my new discoveries... Maybe I'll ask for one for Christmas!)
Our lactation consultant was concerned that I had thrush- a yucky yeast infection in my mouth, and she didn't want me to pass it to Mommy so she suggested we use Gentian Violet. She warned us that it was very staining and very purple, but Mommy didn't realize it was that purple! I had to go out in public with a purple mouth, but luckily that white stuff is almost gone. Mommy is going to have the doctor check my mouth when I go to my appointment and hopefully he'll say I'm all better.
Look at me! I'm only 9 weeks old, but I've been trying to sit up for about 2 weeks. Mommy and Daddy decided to bring out the Bumbo to see how I would do and I could sit up all on my own! I still fall to the side a little bit, but I'll be sitting in my new chair before you know it! I love sitting up and looking around which is much better than lying around all the time. Oh yeah, don't tell mommy, but I spit up on my shirt right before she took this picture. Do you think she noticed???
Mommy and I were watching a movie, but I didn't make it through the whole thing. What do you expect? She had just given me a nice warm bath and filled my belly! I'm only a baby!
I've had this toy for a while, but I just discovered all the neat things it does! I can kick the toys and it'll sing music to me. I figured this out all by myself! There's even a mirror and I can look at myself and practice my new smile!
Well that's all I have to say about that! Mommy will update you on how my 2 month doctor visit went. I can't wait for Thanksgiving! I'll get to meet more aunts and uncles and I'll get extra time with Mommy!"
