Mommy's on Spring Break!

This week I've been on spring break and it's been wonderful. I've gotten so much needed rest and even had time to get my hair and nails done. Most importantly I've had lots of Mackenzy time! I miss her greatly when I'm at work, but until we hit the lottery or teachers get big raises (ha ha!) I have to work so I cherish every day I get with her.

Mackenzy is starting to sit up on her own and I was able to catch her sitting all by herself! Of course as soon as I snapped the picture she toppled over, but she looked so cute sitting while it lasted! She's also starting to babble a little bit and is making "ma" and "la" sounds! She will even copy me and if I say "ma ma" she'll pucker her lips and say "ma"! I also swear she said "Hey" to me the other day and even Ray heard it, but of course she won't repeat it on demand!

And of course she loves to squeal when she's happy, is ticklish on her sides, and now makes raspberry noises and blows spit bubbles!

The best thing that has happened this week is that Mackenzy is finally sleeping her her crib! For the past 6 months she has been in her co-sleeper in our room firmly attached to our bed which was wonderful. Since she's getting older and bigger, I thought it was time to move her to her crib which was extremely difficult because her nursery is upstairs. She has been doing beautifully! She goes to bed at 8pm and even though she may wake up sometimes, she'll go back to sleep once she sees my face. I'm happy because we've come far from the the baby that was a night howl and stayed up until 12am!
