11 Months

Mackenzie is getting so close to being a year old. THAT IS JUST CRAZY!!!!
She is loving life and growing up just too fast.

She talks all the time and is learning so quickly. She says and understands Dada, Mama, Hi, Hey, Bye, Deer (yes, she sees them and says it....thanks to her daddy), and that is all I can think of now.

She loves any electronic she shouldn't have. She loves the TV remote, cameras, and especially cell phones. When I am on my phone she gets so mad if I don't give her the phone. Then when I do give it to her she turns the speaker phone on and off so I can't talk anyway.

She is walking all over the place. She hardly ever crawls any more.

She doesn't like walking outside though. When we go to the park she acts like she doesn't even know how to stand up, she sits and eats the mulch and sand. She won't even walk if I am holding her hands.

She is no longer nursing. She weened herself, the only problem is that she hates formula and won't really drink milk. I have given her whole milk with a tiny bit of chocolate to get her to drink it. The doctor today also told me to give her plain whole milk with a little bit of sugar in it so that it tastes a little more like breast milk. We will see how that works.

Her stats are
29 1/2 inches tall
17 1/2 pounds

She is still very long and SKINNY!

The doctor isn't worried which is a good thing. Little missy just doesn't have a big appetite, make that ANY appetite. We are working on getting her to snack all day long and maybe that will put a little weight on her.

Mackenzie's health issues with her white blood count are good for now. The hematologist told us to not worry about her anymore and treat her like any other kid her age. So thank you for all of your prayers. She doesn't have to be poked anymore!

She gets so excited when Daddy comes home from work. When she hears the door open her whole demeanor changes. She looks at me like "UH OH I better run or Daddy's gonna get me". And when she sees him she dives into my arms. She and her daddy love to play and he chases her to me all the time. She absolutely loves it. SHe also likes to crawl after her daddy and chase him when he is crawling.

I have also had to move around my kitchen stuff. All of my breakables are in the upper cabinets and all of my tupperware and baking sheets and pans are in the bottom cabinets. She loves to take everything out.

She walks around with one of her toy buckets puts everything she finds into the bucket. Then she brings them to the middle of the floor and takes everything out just so she can go find more and put stuff back in her bucket. She is doing much better with helping me clean things up and not just destroy them.

She loves reading books. She either brings them to me and wants me to read them, or she sits and flips the pages and "reads" them to herself. It is the funniest thing to watch. She just talks and talks as she flips the pages.

Our little baby is turning into a little girl. It is just amazing how fast they change. Here are some cute pictures I took of her. Her hair was getting too long just to leave alone, but it is too short to put it up really, so we get to give her devil horns. THey make me smile!

She is so cute! I love looking at her next to the bunny! What a smart idea that was to watch her grow.
