Circus

MiMi, MacKenzie and I went to the circus on Sunday with Ashley, Matt & Will.  I didn't get a lot of pictures because MacKenzie wasn't too sure she liked it...except for the "big cats" and the cotton candy...but she looked really cute in her circus outfit.

Future Ballerina???

MacKenzie got the cutest tutu in the mail from Auntie Becky a couple of weeks ago.  She had a blast wearing it around the house and doing "ballerina" moves...

Throwback Thursday

A popular trend on social media these days is "Throwback Thursday" (TBT), where people post old pictures of themselves.  So, in keeping with that trend, I thought we'd to a little TBT here on the blog...
A year ago today, here on the blog I posted about MacKenzie's first Easter...

Wow...How things change in a year....

19 Months Old!

My sweet girl turned 19 months old on Saturday!  It's hard to believe that she is only a few months away from turning 2!

MacKenzie weighs 26 lbs and is about 32 inches tall.  She is still wearing 18 month and 24 month clothes. 

It seems like everyday she learns new words and talks more and more.  She has so many different words that she says now that it is hard to keep up with them.  Lately we have been working on "please" and "thank you". 

MacKenzie is full of personality.  She likes to look at her clothes hanging in the closet, but when asked if she would like to wear something she says "no...no...I don't like it" and will push the clothes back in the closet.

She continues to be a wonderful sleeper and a good eater.  There aren't many foods she doesn't like and she particularly loves berries, green beans, really any type of beans, cheese, fish (gold fish crackers) and cookies. 

MacKenzie loves music and to "sing" and dance.  She will sing "Bye-bye Baby" (Rock-a-bye Baby), "E-I-E-I" (Old McDonald), a little of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Row Your Boat.  She has been going to swim lessons for the past month and likes some parts of swimming better than others.  She loves dogs and cats and trying to love on them.  MacKenzie also likes to make animal noises...she particularly likes to "baaaaaa" (sheep) and "Hssssss" (snake). 

MacKenzie made a lot of trips to the doctor's office this month.  She just couldn't seem to get rid of the cold/runny nose/cough mess that had been going on since January.  The doctor finally put her on an antibiotic and then she broke out in a rash, which was another trip to the doctor.  Then she started running a high fever again, so another trip to the doctor and a new antibiotic and she finally seems to be feeling better.
