Yay! Mackenzie was SO excited to see her Daddy last night! He made it home just in the nick of time! She was eating her bedtime bottle and getting those heavy eyelids, but when Daddy came in to say hello she was wide awake and all smiles!
I think Matt was pretty shocked at how much bigger she got in just 7 days. She's even got more personality and is of course doing all new tricks!!
It was very fun to watch them spend time together - I know Matt missed her a lot.
Mackenzie,
Your daddy loves you soooo much! Words cannot express how much he missed you while he was gone. I was given strict instructions to give you kisses multiple times per day and let you know that those were special kisses from Daddy. You loved every bit of them!
You are so amazing and your daddy and I are so blessed to be your parents. We love you so much!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. -Proverbs 3:5

Laughing!!
First of all, Mackenzie, you are 4 months old today!!! Yay! You have grown so much these last few months and you get more and more beautiful every single day! You are so much fun to play with and I think you're really enjoying life! You love your phone rattle, tummy time on the floor, seeing Mommy and Daddy after a long day at daycare, bath-time, and snuggling before bed.
Not only is today important because you are four months old, but you also LAUGHED OUT LOUD for the first time AND rolled over from your back to your tummy!! I was hoping to catch the roll on camera and you actually rolled over by yourself in the living room when I went to grab the camera, but I got your second and third roll on video! Then, while we were telling Daddy about your big accomplishment (Matt's in NC for a furniture market), you laughed! It was such a special moment and I know Daddy wishes he could have been here in person, but I'm so glad he was on the phone and heard it for himself! We caught a little bit of the laugh on camera (my memory space filled up RIGHT when I needed it most!!) and I've posted it below.
Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you and we love you more than anything! God gave us such a blessing when He created you and we could not be more excited and grateful to be your parents. We love you Mackenzie!!!
Love,
Mommy

Halloween Costume Pics
So, I may have jumped the gun (I know Halloween is still two weeks away!), but I just HAD to
get pictures of Mackenzie surrounded by pumpkins in her TOO CUTE Halloween costume! It took many, many hours to decide just what she should be for her very first Halloween and many failed attempts to win the costume on eBay, but I finally got one!
We took some great pictures at Aunt Erin's house!
She's an Octopus...and a HOT PINK one at that! :) We took her out to the pumpkins that her daycare is selling and she really did pretty good for it being so hot outside! She looks adorable and I absolutely love how the pictures turned out! Thanks Nonna for taking such awesome pictures!

Living it Up
Tonight, Nan came over to play with Mackenzie and eat spaghetti! It was very fun to share Mackenzie's new vocal skills! I got a cute pic of Mackenzie and Nan (see below) and I'm also adding some from this morning where Mackenzie showed off some more new skills!
Mackenzie,
We have been having SO MUCH FUN with you these last couple of weeks! You are doing new tricks every single day and we can't wait to see what you will do next. You are so amazing and so much fun to be around! Just this morning you realized that you could grab your feet! It was one of the cutest things you've done so far and I just had to get a few pictures! You're growing faster than Daddy and I can keep up with and we just love every minute! You're the best and we love you so much!
Love,
Mommy

Lazy Days
We lounged around and did pretty much nothing this past Sunday! It was wonderful and we really enjoyed it! Since I've been working, I feel like I am soaking up every second of the weekend. The daycare ladies have let it slip that Mackenzie has started laughing out loud. Since she's only done this with us once, this was very sad news!! So, needless to say, I am doing everything I can to make a mental note of everything she does...not to mention trying EVERYTHING to make her laugh! Here's some pics from our lazy day...
