History Repeats Itself!

When people look at Mackenzy they see the spitting image of Ray just in a smaller package. Although some beg to differ and say that she looks like me when I was a baby, I can gladly say that she definitely has my personality and is beginning to do things that I did as a baby... Good and BAD! She's definitely a comedian and will repeat silly things just to get you to laugh. She's goofy, quiet, silly, lovable, crazy, can't sit still, busy, intuitive, stubborn, temperamental, and loves to give hugs and kisses.

When I was a baby, I used to LOVE keys. All kinds! New, old, shiny, rusty, you name it. I loved keys! I would steal peoples keys, hide them, and try to open all doors. Now Mackenzy does the same thing... She can spot a key anywhere (as well as a doggie) and will take the keys, push all the buttons, and tries to unlock the doors. We have to watch her because a couple of times her key stealing problem has had the cops appear at our house because I have an ADT button on my key chain and Ray drove down the road this his trunk open! So beware.. If you hear Mackenzy say "key" and get really excited it means that she has spotted your keys and is plotting her next move!

She's also quite the climber now. I blame that partially on the Little Gym! It can't be all my fault right??? When I was younger I liked to climb on the dishwasher so that I could get on top of the kitchen counters. I also liked to jump on it because it was almost like a trampoline! Unfortunately, I jumped a little to hard one day and broke the dishwasher... It was never the same after that! Well of course Mackenzy is doing the same thing now. I have to keep the dishwasher locked and I'm pretty sure she is on the brink of figuring out how to unlock it... Anyways, if I have it open she will come running in to the kitchen and she will pull out the bottom drawer, take the silverware out, and try to climb on it! It's very cute because she looks at me and smiles while she climbs and will even say "no no" as she does it! She knows she's doing something wrong and still finds it funny! This time I had to catch her in action so I can show her this picture in many, many, many, many years when her child does the same thing!
