Such a cutie!

Opening presents with Nana! She looks to interested in what's in the big box!

Mother and daughter!

Grandma and granddaughter!


Mackenzy thinks she is grown and loves to try and stand up so I put her exersaucer together and let her play with it. She loves it and is able to make the noise makers make noise! She is still to short for to tough the ground, but I solved that with a couple of phone books! She's growing up so fast...

We have the hardest time getting her in to some of her cuter outfits, but I had some extra time and I put her in this cute overall set. She is definitely a well dressed baby!

Kenzy's 1st Christmas!

Here are a few highlights from Christmas 2009! Mackenzy did very well visiting with everyone but by Christmas night she was pooped and went to bed at 7:30pm and slept unil 8:45 am... only waking 2 times to eat!

Mini Mommy Makeover!

So I got tired of my hair and decided it was time for a change! I so got about 2-3 inches cut off and lots of layers and I love it!

Mackenzy's 1st Snow!!!

Mackenzy must be getting tired of me putting her in these ridiculous outfits! It finally snowed and I couldn't resist dressing her up in her snow suit. The snow suit was ginormous on her but she looked so cute! She couldn't even move her arms! I only made her wear it for 5 minutes so I could snap a few pictures of her first snow experience, but I told her not to worry because there will be plenty of snowy days in the years to come and I can dress her up for every one of them!

Cute pictures

I asked Ray to hold Mackenzy upright after her bath so her hair wouldn't dry weird and she fell asleep! And yes those are socks on her hands... they were cold!

Happy Belated Birthday to me!

I apologize for the delay in these postings. I've been busy, tired, and eagerly counting down the days 'til Christmas break! Over the week I celebrated my 26th birthday! We didn't do much because it was on a Tuesday but my mom cooked dinner, Ray cooked a meal, and we all went to our school's Holiday program where Mackenzy was passed around again!

I've also developed deQuervain's Tenosynovitis (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/de-quervains-tenosynovitis/DS00692) which is a form of tendonitis in my wrist which hasn't been fun. It's very painful and I believe it came from moving Mackenzy around. I went to the doctor to confirm my diagnosis and to get a good wrist brace with a thumb spica, but since my co-pay for a specialist is so high I decided to go to a primary care doctor which was a waste of my time. She did give me a prescription for high powered Advil which takes the pain away, but in the end I ended up ordering my own brace online! Next time I'm going to a specialist so I can avoid all of the trouble...

Mackenzy is doing wonderful! She's still sleeping for 5 hours at night even though it's from 10:00-3:00... I still have to get up in the middle of the night to feed her, but at least it's not every 2 hours like it was before! Below is a picture of her in her bouncy seat playing with her Winnie the Pooh rattle while my mom was babysitting. She's getting good at holding and pulling things so I have to be careful when I wear necklaces. She'll officially be 3 months old on Saturday! She's still wearing 0-3 month clothes, but I've started experimenting with some of her 3-6 month outfits. She's growing so fast but she's still a shorty like her mommy!

Is it Christmas break yet?

I've been back to work for a little over a month now and I'm already ready for another vacation. Thanksgiving spoiled me! Mackenzy is sleeping about 5-5.5 hours each night which is wonderful, but I feel like I'm constantly on the go. I'm thankful for the weekends because I'm able to sleep past 5:00 am and relax with Ray and Mackenzy. I'm definitely ready for Christmas break...

I realized over the weekend that I haven't posted a picture of myself in a while. I'm know I'm not as cute as Mackenzy, but I have to document my progress. Only 16 lbs left to go...


December 6th was my mom's birthday. We went out to dinner at Phoenix Asian Cuisine and then helped her decorate the Christmas tree. Of course Mackenzy slept through most of the day, but she did manage to poot in church and take this cute picture. My mom bought her this outfit and although it was a little big she still looks adorable!
