Just the two of us









Brian had to work at the resort this weekend and Hailey spent the weekend at my parents house, so it was just me and Mackenzie. I think this is the first time I have spent a whole weekend just the two of us. It was nice to be able to focus all my attention on her and then I could also get stuff done around the house when she slept. I will have to say that the house was way to quiet and I really missed my doodle bug. I think Mackenzie like being able to play without worrying about being sat on, squeezed, or someone getting right in her face.  

We met my parents on Sunday to pick up Hailey and you could tell that both girls really had missed each other. They got to ride the choo choo train together and they just laughed and "talked" the whole time to each other it was too cute. 
Here are some pictures that I took of Mackenzie this weekend. She is very close to crawling. She will get up on her hands and knees and rock back and forth. She will then scoot her legs up and then let her upper body fall in kind of a scooting motion and that is how she is getting around. It is adorable. 

Hailey turns 3 on Sunday so she will have her own post next week so check back then!

Mackenzie



I can't believe how fast everything is going. Hailey is going to be 3 in a few weeks and Mackenzie is almost 7 months old. She is getting really close to crawling, she will get up on her knees and rock but she hasn't figured out how to move forward yet. She can move backwards and around in circles but not forwards.  She will sit up on her own if she has a toy in her hands but other than that she will sit for a minute or two and then fall sideways. 

When Hailey played at this age she would always keep her bottom lip in her mouth and we teased that she looked like an old man. Well, this is how Mackenzie looks when she plays. She loves to stick her tongue out and she will leave it out for a long time, it is so cute. 

We are very blessed with such great girls. I am looking forward to watching them grow together and form their sisterly bond.

Work from home



Brian gets to work from home one day a week and we are loving it. This Wednesday was his day at home and Hailey decided she was going to work from home as well. She got out her little yellow chair, got some books and her keyboard and set us her work station. Her outfit on the other-hand was not so professional (we will have to talk to her boss about that). She showed up in her pj top sunglasses heels and a necklace. She was so cute, she even pretended to talk on the phone. 

Mackenzie is doing good and cutting her two bottom teeth. She is still sleeping good and hasn't really been fussy at all. She started her baby food and she doesn't know what to think, but so far it looks like peas are her favorite. We are going to start introducing fruit this weekend. Here is a cute picture of her sleeping with her cute little bottom up in the air.
