Sitting Pretty

We found this cute rocking chair at a garage sale for $5. We weren't sure if Kenz would appreciate it yet but she loves it

A clip for the 9 month mark

Here's typical Mackenzie right now. She's very into fake screaming and using the pincer grasp to pick up every crumb on the floor. Overall, she's still an incredibly happy baby with an active personality

The Hungry Caterpillar Cake

Check out this cute cake! I found this post on coco cake cupcakes. I might have to make this for Mackenzie's first birthday

I leave the room for one minute...

A Crib for Mackenzie

Kenz has been sleeping in a pack n'play since she was born and while it was perfect for our small apartment and all of the travelling we did, I wanted to get a more permanent crib. So began my Craig's list stalking until I found the perfect deal. A guy had a $220 crib credit from Babies R' Us because his crib had been recalled. Instead of buying a new crib, he decided to sell the credit for half the price and he threw in a nice mattress for a little more. I had the hardest time deciding between cribs, but this beautiful Carters crib won out when I found out it was on clearance and in-stock. Now if I could just talk Keith into painting her room, I could start decorating...

A typical diaper change

1. As soon as the soiled diaper is removed and her bottom is wiped, Kenz tends to take off and usually takes her diaper with her

2. Then it's a race to see how fast I can get the diaper on before she squirms away from me. If cream needs to be applied, this is almost impossible 3. And the finished product if dad is dressing herAnd if you can't tell by her big open mouth, this is a fun game for her repeated approximately 6 times a day
