The next few weeks are going to be busy ones for us as we anticipate a visit from my mom , Mackenzie's birthday and baptism all in one week! The next week is filled with doctor's appointments and play dates and when it's all said and done, I'm sure I'll still be trying to find those moments that I've somehow lost...Somewhere between newborn and one year old, I seem to have let the business of life sweep me up into it's dizziness . I miss Mackenzie as a newborn....I love her so much now as a toddler. Even when you hear a million times " Don't, blink! That newborn will be a little girl" you never believe it. Instead, you get pulled between the vacuuming and studying and before you know it, you've got a little hand on your leg, looking up at you like a starved baby bird wanting that last bite of your sting cheese! So my project this year is to stop taking life so seriously and enjoy the every day moments and the little blessings I've been given.
So what's new at our house? Are you ready for some real excitement? Mackenzie has a little diaper rash so she got to run around with no diaper most of the day. I know what you're thinking and yes, I did have to follow her around with that " pet stain remover" stuff ( kinda the same concept, right?) . It was lookin' much better at the end of the day. Her new favorite word is 'pretty', or " pw-tee" as she says. The prettiest thing to her? The chandelier over the dining room table. She tells it so at least four times a day.
Mike worked a long 12 days in a row and is now trying to help me get ready for Mackenzie's birthday. He's repainted the bathroom and even picked out new towels! We've had a lot of fun trying to give our little house some character. It's a slow process but that's ok!
I've been busy with party preparations. While I've still got a month to go, I am a glutton for organization and so every day, I pull out my note pad and rework the menu or recreate our invite. I'm still working out 6 days a week! I'm down about 32 lbs since Nov but I've still got a ways to go before I'm a good healthy weight. I'm loving the challenge! More to come next week ( maybe it will be even more exciting..if you can imagine! ) Until then, here are a few snap shots of our week.
Here's Mackenzie on the No diaper day!
Mike's Jester hat had Mack puzzled!
Mackenzie has enough hair for "pony tail"...even if it does look dangerous.
Here's a tooth shot!
She's such a happy little girl
Mackenzie wasn't really excited about helping with laundry.

Emily has that same pony tail....and one of her favorite things to say: pretty! Isn't it funny how much they are alike!
