air time at school.
dance moves!
later that day, i took mackenzie for a bang trim since they were once again always in her eyes. the lady showed her three pictures of haircuts with bangs and she very confidently said, ' want my hair like that' and then sat still and moved her head as directed for her whole haircut. now she's sporting a stylish little pageboy!
president's day play date at the nature center with my friend allison and her daughter harper (6 months younger than mackenzie), followed by a picnic on the trail with me...what a nice day!
chilling with a little snack while mommy tries to get a little work done on the weekend.
a beautiful early march day at the park!
mackenzie loves her new easel. she spends a lot of time rearranging her magnets, "teaching" at the chalk board and creating works of art. mackenzie has become quite the little mimic. some days i feel like i have a little mini-me following me around repeating every word i say and every move i make. she's started doing the same (i assume) with her teachers miss amanda and miss chrissie as she shows flash cards to her animals and says "what's this?" followed by "red circle, good job!" and moves to the next one. she also uses a crayon or a pen to point to things and announces story time, nap time and other activities to her animals. it's amazing to watch!
breakfast with daddy while mommy goes to yoga on a sunday...mackenzie likes to wear her pajamas late like daddy on sundays. she has decided we are mommy and daddy now, by the way.
play date with caitlyn and frank a couple of weeks ago. although they have known each other since prenatal yoga, they hadn't seen each other since august but were fast friends! turns out they're both fascinated with trucks.
speaking of trucks, mackenzie is completely enamored of most trucks but none as much as our monday morning trash, recycling and compost trucks! when we make it outside to watch them, they honk for her now as she jumps up and down screaming!
we have another budding performer in the family. although she won't let adam sing much, she sings all the time. here she is performing twinkle twinkle little star in her bath.
mackenzie has been fascinated with growing babies recently, with several mothers in the advanced state of pregnancy at school and my friend allison. she caught me off guard with this move at dinner one night, when she told me "look, mommy, i'm growing a baby". unfortunately we weren't ready to tell her she was going to be a big sister then...it would have been the perfect opportunity. now that she knows we're growing a baby, she is mostly neutral but occasionally breaks out with these adorable, "mommy, you growing a baby?" or "i love your baby" or "mommy, you want a baby?" phrases, usually out of the blue!
the final countdown in the little girl bed as we get mackenzie's new big girl room and big girl bed ready.
mackenzie was a big helper in getting her new room and her big girl bed ready. here she is snacking on the new mattress and the bedding she picked out all by herself while i put up curtains and clean out the closet. this weekend we completed the transition from the yellow room to her big girl blue room. she has slept in her bed for three nights now. it's going pretty well but will obviously take a little time, so we're all pretty tired today!
mackenzie's other big news...she wore big girl panties almost all weekend long (while we were home during the day) and kept them dry most of saturday and sunday! we're following her lead so some days she just wants diapers and some days she wants panties but that was huge, she had so many stamps on her belly (she gets stamps on her belly when she goes to the potty) that we couldn't even get them all cleaned off in her bath last night!
