9 Months

Little Miss Mackenzie is 9 months old and seems to be changing daily! She now has 6 (yes, 6!) pearly whites, can say Ma-ma and Da-da, can walk when you hold on to both of her hands, and is clapping up a storm! We even caught her standing by herself (only for a few seconds) when she "thinks" she is holding onto something. She now knows the signs for "milk" and "all done", and we are working on the sign for "more" now.  She just started eating yogurt and meats and is really enjoying the variety of foods! She is getting use to finger foods and loves eating her puffs (similar to cheerios) but is not too sure about the texture of bananas and pears. Her new favorite activity...giving her baby doll hugs! It is the most precious thing! She talks, crawls around, and gives long hugs to her dolly. Mackenzie also had her first snow! Mommy & Daddy had a blast, but Mackenzie was a little more weary of the cold wet white stuff! We had the hardest time trying to get her to crack a smile (maybe she wasn't too thrilled about her outfit!). We are blessed with such a beautiful, spunky, loving baby girl and these past 9 months have been amazing! Happy 9, Zie!

"Seriously?"

Our Busy Peanut!

Mackenzie has been one busy little girl these past couple of weeks and we were lucky enough to catch some of her "busyness" on video! Happy Valentine's Day! 

Mackenzie's new favorite activity...running in circles! 

Someone learned how to clap..but is easily distracted when her BFF Lupa comes by! 

Playing ball with PopPop is funny (maybe because HE throws like a girl!).

Picnic in February

Mackenzie and I have been soaking up these beautiful days by doing as much as we can outside! Today hit 72 degrees and we thought it would be the perfect day for a picnic! Mackenzie munched on puffs and Mommy snacked on grilled cheese and tomato soup. We also invited some of Mackenzie's closest friends!

Digging in!

So yummy!

Birthday smiles for Mommy...pure sweetness!

Mackenzie's 8 months!

Our sweet girl turned 8 months yesterday! 8 months!  I honestly can't believe she is only 4 months away from her 1st birthday! Where is the time going?! She sure has been keeping us busy now that she's mobile. She not only crawls, she power crawls! It seems like she sprints everywhere she goes and learns something new everyday! Just yesterday she started pulling herself up onto her feet! It gives Mommy a heart attack every time but she is slowly showing us just how strong she really is. Her newest sound,"Gah", and we think she has thrown in some "Da-Da's" in there too! She has been teething like crazy and not one but two pearly whites have made their debut! Mackenzie shows us her growing personality everyday and I must say she is the perfect combination of sweet and sassy! Happy 8 months, Mackenzie Amelia!

"Look at me, Mom!"

Silly Shadow

Mackenzie was having a blast in her activity center, so I decided to pull out the video camera and get some of it on tape. Little did I know, the cutest thing would happen! Mackenzie saw her shadow for the first time!

Baltimore Fun!

The Wolfe family just got back from a great weekend in Baltimore! We attended a beautiful wedding (Jimmy's cousin) where we were surrounded by lot's of family and friends! Thank goodness Nana was there to take  pictures cause I didn't get a single shot! Needless to say the wedding photo's will be posted at a later date!  We also squeezed in a visit with our favorite Mommy & Daddy to be, the Fox's! This was the first time our good friends Jen & Michael got to meet Mackenzie! We can't wait for their little one to arrive in June, and we have a pretty good feeling Mackenzie and Baby Fox will be the best of friends! :-)

The Fox's & Mackenzie!
