Enjoying time with Mommy!

Well, I have been on summer break for about a week and it has been amazing! I've been able to get some much needed rest, do some much needed cleaning, and most importantly spend lots of time with my little stinker! I love being home with her and she keeps me busy every day! She still goes to play with Nana and Mrs. Karen so I can go to the gym (I'm not ready to put her in the daycare at the gym yet!) and I'm sure once Grandma/Mamarita gets back she'll get some time with her too.

Mackenzy has gotten to be so busy! She crawls, climbs on, and stands up on everything. Her new thing is to sit up and crawl away when I'm changing her diaper. Needless to say, if you came to our house during a diaper changing or bath time you may catch a naked baby crawling around the house. She's getting really fast too and once she spots something she wants she after it!

She's also been trying to give people things when you talk to her! She tries to feed me her sweet potato puffs in the morning and tried to give her Auntie Vaughn her teething ring. That's my little social butterfly!

The table is her new favorite spot in the house!

Posing with mommy! She was a little sleepy...

I think she's up to no good!

Her hair is usually up in some style that I came up with and I thought I would capture her afro before the styling! She has so much hair, even though we are still working on the hair in the back of her head! Isn't she a cutie!

Our Busy Bee...

"Hey the TV is on! I love this show!"

"Hey mom! You have the camera again?"

"OK. OK. I'll strike a pose. Say cheese!"

"I'm coming to get you and the camera too!"

Mackenzy's Many Faces... and CRAWLING!!!

Remember in the previous post when I described Mackenzy's late Saturday night not wanting to go to sleep and screaming "mama"? Of course I took a picture of it! She looked so pitiful standing up there (which she did all by herself) and crying. Look at that face!


So as a result, she got to stay up about 45 minutes later than usual because she just did not have sleep on her agenda. While she played with her book, I lowered her crib again... The sleepiness finally set in around 9:15...


Apparently banging books on the floor is fun!

This week she has been making this strange crinkled up nose face! I don't know where she got it from but it's hilarious! She also got her first real bruise today because she bumped her head on a chair as she was trying to climb up on it. Her babysitter called me immediately after it happened and attempted to put ice on it, but she was fine and up to her climbing about 2 minutes later. She must get the climbing gene from me!

And for the most important news of the day... Mackenzy is officially crawling with her belly off the floor! It's the cutest thing! She's so little but she's getting really fast. I predict she will be walking around 10 months... What do you think? Watch out world!

In case you're wondering, Nicholas did run in to me in one of the videos! He got a little excited too!
