Mackenzie,
We took you to your nine month check-up this past Monday and are happy to say that all is well - for the most part. You still have a bilateral ear infection (you've had the same one since the end of January when we had to take you to the ER!) so the doctor gave you stronger antibiotics and we're hoping these work. You are also still sniffly & snotty, but the doctor says this is normal for children in corporate daycare. The good news is you will be one tough cookie in kindergarten! Once again, the doctor and nurses were very impressed with your strength. You did have to get a heel prick and you did NOT enjoy it at all, but you calmed down pretty quickly.
And as for your stats:
Weight: 19 pounds, 4 ounces (50-75%)
Height: 30" (95% - I think they may have mis-measured! Your mommy is way too short for you to be in the 95th percentile!)
Head: 17 1/2" (50-75%)
You are one healthy girl! All in all, it was a wonderful visit. We are so blessed and thankful for your health.
We love you!
Mommy & Daddy
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. -Proverbs 3:5

Mackenzie is 9 months old
Mackenzie,
You are nine months old today - only THREE MONTHS until your first birthday and I can hardly believe it! You are such a big girl and you definitely like to do things how you want, when you want. Your independence is adorable as well as something Mommy and Daddy are adjusting to. :)
You are still doing the army crawl, but are getting up on your hands and knees and rocking back and forth. You are sitting up by yourself like a pro and have learned how to go from sitting to your belly like you've been doing it forever! You can chase after anything you want and have even followed Mommy and Daddy into the kitchen or into the bedroom a time or two! You are starting to explore more and you seem to like the bathroom a lot - it's the place you are always trying to get into.
You pulled up for the first time this past Sunday (March 15). You crawled halfway into my lap and then pulled yourself up by holding onto my arm. You pulled up onto your knees first, but the second try you got up to your feet with no problem! And just so I remember, you were trying to get to my breakfast - a waffle! :)
As far as eating, you never miss a meal! You like to eat and I think your favorite is still the banana-peach granola stage 2 food. You are still snacking on finger foods like the wagon wheels, puffs, and pieces of bread. You are drinking out of a sippy cup really well and you seem to like water more than you like juice. You have even taken sips out of a regular cup, even though it was a bit messy!
Your favorite toy is still the jumparoo. You LOVE to jump - so much so that Nan & Pops got you a Johnny Jumper to keep at their house and the look on your face when you're in it is priceless!
You weren't very interested in taking your "9 month update" pictures, but they still turned out pretty cute. We love you more than words can ever say!
Love,
Mommy & Daddy

Mackenzie has her first tooth!!
Mar. 8, 2009
Well, you can't see it in these pics - Mackenzie wasn't having that AT ALL! - but I promise it's there! Nonna discovered it when Mackenzie bit down on her finger and she felt a sharp prick! So YAY for FINALLY having proof of all of the painful teething our poor girl has endured!!

Valentine's Day Party
Feb. 13, 2009
Friday, Mackenzie had her very first Valentine's Day party at school! This outfit is something I bought in Branson at one of the Old Navy outlets with Erin when I was pregnant. I saw the cute little t-shirt and skirt and imagined her wearing it for this very reason. She looks even cuter than I dreamed!
These are Mackenzie's wonderful morning daycare teachers: Ms. Lisa, Ms. Trudie, and Ms. Jamie. She LOVES them!

Playtime
Feb. 7, 2009
Nonna sent us a new hat in the mail and we had a lot of fun trying it on. Mackenzie doesn't seem to like hats much, but this one she left on for a few minutes at least!
Nan & Pops got Mackenzie this adorable outfit for Christmas and since we were going to visit them later, we figured we'd put it on to show them just how cute Mackenzie made it! :)

Sweet hair-do

The daycare teachers in Mackenzie's class love to play with her hair and she always comes home with some cute "up-dos". :)

Good morning!!
Feb. 6, 2009
On this particular morning, I was running super late to work and was in a big hurry to get out the door. However, when I saw this sweet baby on my way through the kitchen, I just HAD to take a few pics. Sometimes you just have to stop and enjoy the moment.
I love you Mackenzie - thank you for teaching me how to savor every moment and truly enjoy life.

Cutie Patootie
Mar. 10, 2009
On this particular morning, I decided to get some pics of Mackenzie in her chair with Babbles just in case I forgot to take her 9 month pics on March 19. Plus, she had this extremely cute outfit from Nonna that I was just itching to put her in! Even though she had just woke up and was really more concerned about breakfast than pictures, she was still sweet enough to sit still for a few minutes so that Mama could get some adorable pictures. You can tell she's tired because she's sucking on her bottom lip. :) But seriously...how cute is this kid???
