20jan2011 - all bundled up for a walk in the cold blustery day, mackenzie loves to be outside regardless of the temperature!  i actually had to adjust all the straps to fit her in with her warm clothes on.

19jan2011 - a typical day in austin

mackenzie trying on big girl diapers...probably need to grow a little more before we transition...but pretty cute anyway, even if her newborn size clothes don't fit around her tushy

afternoon nap in the sun

brody also taking advantage of a quiet sunny spot (the puppy is also showing some signs of sleep depravation)

enjoying some naked time after her bath before getting dressed (a calculated risk)

15jan2011 - mackenzie's bathtime

papa was home to document the state of extreme bliss last night!  we love the first one of her hair floating in the water!

 



15jan2011 - thank you bubie for the hat made with oodles of love...it's been chilly so it's nice to have...plus i just look cool!

14jan2011 - brody's typical diaper changing watch position

mackenzie enjoys looking at the blinds during the day and her growing collection of toys at night...most diaper changes are quiet, pleasant events

and here is mackenzie's first attempt to initiate contact with brody during our daily floor time

13jan2011 - an exciting first...mackenzie and i cranked up the furnace tonight while papa was at rehearsal and took a bath together...kind of.  i put about 3-4 inches in the bath tub and we got in together for her bath instead of the sponge bath...she loved it!  couldn't take a photo of the actual bath, but here we are drying off and snuggling after getting dressed in our pjs

13jan2011 - enjoying her bouncy seat on the counter while i make dinner

10jan2011 - taking a nap in her new pack 'n play - it really opened up a lot of options for us to spend time downstairs when she is sleeping!

5jan2011 - sleeping beauty

3jan2011 - chilling out after her bath, but what's noteworthy is that she now actually fits into this newborn outfit which is what she came home in!  all that eating is paying off!

3jan2011 - a bath in the spotlight (and below some links to movies jenn's mom took during her visit)
