Mackenzie Jewel,
It's March 11, 2014 and you are 9 months old today. I remember this time last year. We were at the rodeo and you weren't due for another 3 months. Now you are here with us!

| 9 months old |
You are crawling now and starting to pull up. You haven't made it onto your feet yet, but you are getting on your knees and getting pretty close. You have a bruise on your cheek where you crashed trying to pull up on the wall.
 |
| inspecting the grass. probably watching your sister. |
Your favorite things are: your sister, being outside and bath time. You dislike: being fed, having your nose wiped and when we take something away from you.
You have 5 teeth. You are starting to use your pincer grasp to feed yourself. You have refused to eat baby food the past week and only want things you can pick up yourself. I'm still not able to get you to use a sippy cup very well. We have three months to get it done.
 |
| You are always pretty serious. Seriously cute. |
 |
| You love any attention from your big sister. |
You are still sleeping from 6:00pm to 6:30am. Thankfully time changed so now it's more like 7-7:30. Your 6pm bedtime made it hard to do anything in the evening. You take 2-3 naps. Usually only 2.
You are saying baba, dada and mama. Just the sounds. You aren't associating them with anything.

| eating the grass |
You love being outside in the grass. If we open the door, you crawl as fast as you can towards it. Sometimes we get some tears when you don't make it before we shut the door.
This brings me to my next point. I've always said you were our chill baby. That's still true. BUT, you can throw fits like I've never seen a baby do before. Case in point is the video below. You like to rock on the rocking frog. See what happens when you don't get your way in .2 seconds.
I think we have a new drama queen in the making.

| snot face wants to see the camera. |
You are wearing a size 4 diaper and 12 month clothing. We go to the doctor on Thursday to see how long and chunky you are...kidding. You really aren't that chubby of a baby. You are perfect and squishy!

| Chloe likes to push you in the swing. |
We sure do love you, Mackenzie.
What a cutie! She sure is getting big! She wears the same size clothes and bigger diapers than my 17 month old! Don't you love the big sister/little sister dynamic? Alyssa is always looking for Corinne!
ReplyDeleteShe's growing up too fast! Love her and her snotty nose. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my - how sweet is this?! Love this update. I smiled the whole way through! We have been trying to get Tyler to drink out of a sippy cup and all he wants to do is eat the handle LOL. He is just getting the hang of the mum mum crackers - but still not really getting it's food. I think he might be eating baby food until he is 4 years old LOL. She is doing a lot of the same stuff Tyler is! She is so adorable and what a beautiful big sister she has too! Isn't the sibling relationship amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
