Tea Party Fun and Loving on Mickey

MacKenzie got an early birthday present yesterday.  MiMi and Grumps got her an adorable table and chair set.  She enjoyed sitting in the chairs and having a tea party with Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Before she was born, MiMi got her a giant Mickey and Minnie at Costco.  We use Minnie for her monthly update pictures.  The other day, she was trying to carry Mickey around the house (he is bigger than her) and then decided she just wanted to love on him...it was really cute!

23 Months Old!

MacKenzie is 23 months old...in one month, I will have a 2 year old!  That just doesn't seem possible...it seems like it was just yesterday that she was turning 1.
MacKenzie still weighs 27.5 lbs and is 33 inches tall.  I'm still expecting a growth spurt but we'll see.  We took her to get some new shoes last week and she wears a size 7 now!  The size 7 shoes look so BIG to me.  She's mostly wearing 2T clothes, with a few 24 month things thrown in here and there.
Everyday, it seems like MacKenzie says new words and learns something new.  She is becoming a little parrot, repeating things we say, so we have to be careful what we say.  She has also become a little climber and can climb on all the couches and chairs without help.
It seems like she is always in motion...lately she has decided that she likes to dance and spends a lot of time dancing and twirling.  I've taught her a couple of tap moves, so she will "tap, tap, tap" and "shuffle-step" when she dances.  I am hoping to find a dance studio to get her started in a Creative Movement class in the fall.
MacKenzie has also started getting selective about what she wears.  She will tell me what she wants to put on or "no" if she doesn't like what I pick out.  She also wants to wear a bow or something in her hair almost every day.

Diva

The other morning, MacKenzie insisted on eating breakfast in her sunglasses.  Between the sunglasses and the Minnie Mouse "tutu" gown, she looked like a little diva...

Playing with Grumps

My sweet girl LOVES her Grumps.  She likes to go outside and watch him work...the other day she tried to take him a bottle of water while he was mowing the yard.  She also likes to give him all of her stuff to hold.  The other day, they were having the best time sitting in his chair, playing and eating cookies so I had to get some cute pictures (which she now loves to look at on the camera).

Catching Up

I'm a bit behind in blogging, but we really haven't done anything too exciting to blog about.  I've also been a little slow about uploading pictures so that I have them to put on the blog!  I've been busy planning Disney trips and MacKenzie's 2nd birthday party (can't believe she'll be 2 in a little over a month!).
A couple of weeks ago, MacKenzie and I went to her friend Grant's Neverland themed birthday party.  She enjoyed getting dressed up in her Peter Pan dress and REALLY enjoyed the cupcakes!

We have also enjoyed having summer foods like corn on the cob.  MacKenzie loves eating corn on the cob!

MacKenzie also tried a fried chicken leg for the first time.  She wasn't too sure about it...and I'm sure it was no where near as good as GiGi's fried chicken!


We went shopping for new shoes...MacKenzie now wears a size 7 shoe!!!  She did great and liked trying on the different shoes.
