Thomas the Train and 6 months

Mackenzie turned 6 months old last week. It is hard to believe that 6 months has gone by already. I think time is going by even faster this time. She is rolling over, sitting with support and starting to eat baby food. She loves to swing on the swingset and Hailey loves to push her, it is so cute to watch. Mackenzie also has started to like the pool. We took the girls to the Ballantyne Y waterpark and she loved to sit in the water and splash and she also had fun watching Hailey play and slide while we were there.  We went today for her check up and she is 13 pounds and 25 inches long. Just like her sister she is little and in the 10% for weight and the 25-50% for height, however, unlike her sister her head is still in the 25%.  It is so fun to just sit back and watch her discover new things and to watch her grow. 

Since Hailey has been such a good big sister we decided to give her a special surprise. We took her on Saturday to Bryson City to spend a day with Thomas the Train.  She had a really good time seeing Thomas and Sir Topham Hat, even-thought the train ride wasn't long she still really enjoyed it. 

Summer fun

We spent last week at mimi and popi's house and had a blast. The girls got to play in the pool, swing and catch lighting bugs. Hailey was so funny running around the yard trying to "catch" (more like smash) the fireflies in her hand. The time went by too quickly as always.  I think Hailey's favorite part of the trip, besides going to Uncle Jason and Anutie Alli's house to see the cats, was her pedicure. We set up our own little spa in the upstairs bathroom and let Hailey soak her feet. We tried to use the pedicure tools but her feet were too ticklish but she did get some pretty pink nail-polish on them.  She loves to have her nails and toenails painted. I can't wait till both girls are older and we can all share a true spa experience together.
