Toddler Tales

Mackenzy is a ball of energy. She is on the move All. The. Time. Even in her sleep! She wakes up laughing, talking, and jumping around in her crib, dances while she eats, and rolls around while she sleeps. It's very rare to catch her sitting still and usually when she is still she is trying to figure out how something works- ex. how the plug protectors fit in the outlet, how to plug in the vacuum cleaner, how to snap the dogs collar together, or how to get Mommy or Daddy's shoes on...

Taking a picture of her has become extremely difficult. Even the photographer at Portrait Innovations (which I will never go to again) had trouble keeping her still during her Christmas pictures! So today I decided to use the old play with Mommy's shoe trick so I could catch her on camera! She thought it was hilarious that my foot was moving around and I got my picture of my big 14 month old!
She's very intuitive, loves to learn new things, and gets very frustrated when she can't figure stuff out... another characteristic of mine. Below is her focused face.
It's been really cold outside and I'm very happy I decided to get her a thick winter coat this year. Last year we just put her in a onesie, jacket, and put blankets over her infant carrier and quickly put her in the car. Now that she's older and has a convertible car seat, she's out in the elements more and her winter coat is getting great use! A big bonus is that I found this coat at a consignment sale for $6 a few months ago and it will last her all winter!
