At 2 Years Old

I am doing this kinda for me, but enjoy if you would like...


At 2 years old, Mackenzie is just doing so MUCH. She has such a personality and really is so funny.


- At night we go through a whole routine...watch cartoons with chocolate milk, go brush teeth, say prayers as a family, then she hugs daddy goodnight and gives kisses..over and over...and then gets daddy to help her pick out 2 books to read with mommy, gets in my lap and then does the funniest thing. As Adam leaves he says see you later alligator and then she replies crocodile (pokadile) and then over and over laughs saying alligator, crocadile, alligator, crocadile until he leaves.


-She likes to tell me what songs to sing a night
Night Night Song (A made up song about going to bed)
Prayer Song (I know Heavenly Father Loves Me, primary song)
Chocolate Milk Song (Another Made up song)
Church Song (any Primary song)
Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting...)

- I have to give all of her animals a hug and kiss at night or she won't go to bed.

-She repeats everything you say, and doesn't forget anything!! If you say something about going to the park after her nap...that is the first thing she asks when she wakes up.

-She loves riding in her stroller.

-She has to be involved in EVERYTHING...If I am cooking, doing the dishes, or unloading the dishwaser, etc. she wants to put on her apron, stand on a chair, and help.

-She loves to play hide and seek. When she hides she usually goes to her closet and hides in the corner and closes her eyes (If her eyes are closed you can't see her). SO we go around the room looking everywhere else for her and she loves it.

- Now she wants me and Adam to hide, so we close our eyes and she walks around the room saying things like "door? NOPE!", "under bed?, NOPE"! It is so funny.

-She knows our house when we are riding down the road. As we are driving she starts saying "this house?, NO, this house?, NO!" until we get to our house and then says HOME!

-She loves "talking" on the phone. She walks around with her play cell phone and talks to everyone.

-She doesn't like being dirty. If we are eating and her fingers get ANYTHING on them she has to have a napkin. It can be annoying when we are all trying to eat and every bite she wants to clean her hands.

-She is doing much better in her carseat. She loves looking out the window and telling us what she sees.

-She is just talking soooooo much. There isn't anything she doesn't talk about. And if we really don't understand what she is saying (which isn't very often), she will grab our hand and try to show us things to help us understand. SO SMART!

- She is ready to be potty trained, but I am waiting until January when we get back from all our traveling. She has to be in the bathroom whenever we are and she sits on our potty and even wants toilet paper to "Wipe" even though she is still fully dressed)

- She loves to brush her teeth. I brush them first and then she always wants to make sure she gets all the plaque off herself.

-She loves to sing especially the Wiggles. It is the funniest thing to watch in the car because she does the moves and everything. I am impressed with the amount of songs she knows.

-She loves to watch movies...everything from Snow White and Cinderella to Barney and Mickey Mouse and everything in between.

I can't really think anymore right now...but I will try to post some more if I can remember.

So there is a little more information about my big big 2 year old!

2 Years Old

I can't believe my little girl is already 2 years old. Except if you ask her, she replies "Almost 2". We have been working on changing this response with no success so far.

For her birthday this year, we didn't do a big party. We just celebrated with Mommy, Daddy, and Kenzie. We went to Red Robin for dinner because she loves the big bird in the restaurant. After dinner, we came home to have cake and presents. There will be pictures to come later.

Last Sunday after church we decided to take a drive up in the mountains. We also thought this would be a great time to take some 2 year pictures of Kenzie, so thanks Adam for the very cute shots! Here are just a few.








This is a signature look of our little girl. If she doesn't want to listen to what you have to say!
