enjoying a little pasta and red sauce and learning to communicate at meal time.
mackenzie's tastes and appetite seem to change at every meal...it's tough to figure out what she'll eat on any given day!
papa takes mackenzie swimming - look how attentive they both are to chelsea and how relaxed mackenzie gets during her back float, which we do in every bath. below is a video of the slide that we didn't get the week before.
mackenzie has decided riding in a shopping cart is pretty fun...and another opportunity to get her socks off. we're going to get her first pair of shoes this week or next. maybe then we can keep her tootsies warm!
a little art on the weekend - unfortunately mackenzie has no desire to stay on the cardboard...the world is her canvas!
look at that adorable bathtime baby!
we were without internet for several days and i had a project due for work...we went and hung out at day care on monday so i could use the wireless and mackenzie could play in the family room (since she doesn't go on mondays)...she could be there poster child, she thought it was a great outing!
here is mackenzie in her new 'bundle me', unfortunately they only carry pink and brown in the store and brown is just too dark on an already dark stroller for pre/post daylight hours. she was snug as a bug in a rug and seemed happy to get out despite the cold, cold wind!
the girl and her dog...
mackenzie loves '5 silly monkeys' and i tried to capture her jumping and then scolding by pointing at the book...she is really mimicking so much of what we do now. she is also standing for split seconds without support and trying to get up to stand on her own without furniture - she seems pretty proud of it all!
mackenzie is especially taken with brody's tags and he is so patient with her explorations!
although he often lets us know that he needs love and attention (sometimes in obnoxious, needy ways), he has been so wonderful with mackenzie! we actually think he may be struggling more with my working from home (and not playing with him all day) than with the attention we give mackenzie.
we've made huge progress with a sippy cup and with independent bath time over the past couple of weeks; we're working on introducing cow's milk and starting to wean from the bottle. we're also working on moving to one mid day nap, more driven by day care than any of us. and right now, we're working on shifting mackenzie's schedule temporarily later so that we don't have to get up at 3am while we're in california next week!
we also got a new computer and are working on testing it for skype.
