Mackenzie keeps changing everyday; she is really starting to get such a personality. She now throws little tantrums when she does not get what she wants; she will throw her head and arms on the floor and cry really loud! Oh us girls and our attitudes:-)
She can now stand completely by herself and can take about two steps towards us and then she realizes that no one is helping her and sits down. She will also walk and just be holding on to one of our fingers and the minute we let go she sits down. So I know walking and even running will be in our near future, but I'm not going to push it because I know once they start to walk than its a whole new ball game:-)
We are having a really great time here in the Dominican; Mackenzie, Mommy and Daddy are all getting really tan. One of our daily routines here is going to the pool:-) Mac is getting much better in the water, if I tell her to kick she does and we are working on getting her comfortable on her back in the water. We get to go to the beach this coming week and stay a couple of nights before we go home to the states for good; so that should be interesting for little Mac.
She now has a total of eight teeth and pretty much has written off baby food; she always wants what Mommy's is eating; I think her favorite food right now is bananas and spaghetti (with the sauce of course).
Escrow on our new home closes around the 20Th of this month and we cannot wait to move in and just relax for a couple of months before baseball starts all up again:-)
Pix's to follow of our new home:-)
xoxo,
Matt, Lisa and Mac

A year already! Wow. My advice for the first birthday party is keep it very simple. We had a huge party for Luke's 1st. Poor little guy. He cried when he realized the kids were beating up his monkey (pinata). He was asleep by the time we cut the cake and had an all out tantrum at bedtime.
For Isabela's first, my sister, my parents and your grandparents came by, we cut the cake and let the kids get really messy with ice cones. Simple and messy seems to be the key to one year old successful parties. Good luck and have fun!
