9 Months Old!

Mackenzie has been learning so many new things lately! It's so much fun to just sit and watch her especially if she doesn't know you're doing it. She is completely mobile now and is very fast. Of course her favorite things to go after are things she can't have...cords, dog food/water, folded clothes, etc. Mack's personality has sprouted also. When she gets excited, she kicks her legs like a mad woman (maybe she'll be a soccer player)? She loves to talk to us and I really think she fully expects to know exactly what she's saying! It's so funny, once she gets on a roll, she just talks her little heart out. She's still a fantastic sleeper, usually going down by 9 p.m. and not walking up until 9/9:30 the next morning. She takes two naps a day, one from 12-2 and another one from 4-6. We've been working on getting her on more solids and she's transitioning nicely. We celebrated her 9 month birthday by going to visit Dr. Kim-and no shots this time! Only a little prick in the foot for an iron check and Mack was more upset that she had a band aide on her foot than the actually prick! Dr. Kim was very pleased with her growth, as of June 4th, she weighed 17 lbs. 15 oz. (25-50%), height 24 inches (25-50%), and head circumference 44 cm (50%)

Some fun facts about Mack:
*crawling everywhere
*pulling herself up and cruising from one piece of furniture to another
*pulling up and knowing how to get back down-this is the one that makes me so nervous! But, Mack just bends those little chubby legs and plops down
*consistantly drinking juice out of a sippy cup at supper time-she still refuses to hold the cup herself, but loves drinking out of it and will only drink out of one specific kind
*says: dada and baba and can now associate the two, has said mama on occasion and also what sounds like thank you
*playes the paci game with daddy
*speaking of pacis-only has it in the car and at bed/naptimes
*and still will go to bed with several paci's in the crib but can find the infant one-that's Mack's favorite
*when she has the paci in her mouth and she gets her night time bottle instead of spitting out the paci, she now uses her hands to get it out...this one cracks us up!
*waves when people say, "hi!" and "bye, bye!"
*LOVES puffs, cheerios, and crackers despite having no teeth
*has tried and liked cheese, yogurt, fruit bars, cake, ice cream, along with all the baby food still is not a fan of bananas




Yay! I'm 9 months old!

Just Mommy and Me having our morning playtime in my room.

Hmmm, this is where I sleep, how can I get in there from here?

I can pull myself up and get back down!
