8 Months

Our little angel is 8 months old; goodness how time just flies by. Well where do I start on how much she has changed in the last month. Mackenzie now has a total personality; when she does not get what she wants oh boy look out! And she is such a little ham; it does not matter who it is or where we are she is talking and smiling at people, it just cracks me up. She says Mama, Dada and Nana now and I think she really does know who we are because at night when she is tired she says Mama over and over, it just melts my heart. Her top two front teeth have broken through (finally) that was hard; poor little thing she was such a trooper. Her side two on the top are now coming in too before I know it she is going to have a full mouth of teeth!

She is a champ at crawling now and she is in EVERYTHING!!! She is also a champ at standing up on anything and she cruises around the furniture too, she is on the move and loves it!

One of her favorite things to do is play with Ruby; she loves to grab Ruby's toys and play tug-a-war with her. Its so funny! And she chases Ruby all around the house (its kind of like a little babysitter haha).

I love my little sidekick that is always with me she really has made our lives complete and we are so thankful everyday for this little gift that God sent to us.

Lake Tahoe

Mackenzie went on her first vacation; we went to Lake Tahoe for the All Star Break. We had such an amazing time just hanging out and relaxing and getting some much needed family time. We went to the beach, went on hikes and ate some great food, good times!! just click on the slideshow to the left so you can see the pictures; I took lots!!!

7 Months Old!

                                              Happy 4th!!!!

                                                          Watching the Fireworks!
                                         This is how she rides in her stroller

This has been another big month for little Mackenzie; she is crawling!!! Which she loves so much because she can get anywhere and get into EVERYTHING. Daddy had to baby proof everything because you name and she is in it. She is also starting to pull herself up onto furniture, which she thinks is the funniest thing in the world. She is also a little speed racer in her walker (watch out for your toes!!!) she now goes wherever Mama goes. 

I think her first word is going to be Dada, because she is saying it but I still don't think she knows exactly what she is saying. When you ask her "can you say Daddy?" she gets a huge smile on her face but nothing comes out. 

We went on our first baseball road trip with Daddy to Reno, Nevada for the Forth. We had such a great time and Mac was such a champ staying in the Hotel; nothing phases her not even fireworks! She loved them, we got to go on the field after the game and she sat on Matt's lap and just watched them the whole time. It was SOO CUTE:-) 

Mackenzie and I are going to be keeping the roads extra hot this month, we pick up Daddy this Sunday once he gets to the field from his road trip and head up to Lake Tahoe for All Star break with friends, we are so excited to relax and have some great family time. After Tahoe, Mac and I are heading back down south for eight days to see all the fam. Then we are back up here. Its going to be a busy month but I have the best little companion that tags along with me:-) 

Hope everyone is having such a wonderful Summer.

6 Months!!!

Mac and her little Rocking Horse

Holy cow, has half a year really gone by? Goodness it seems like yesterday that little Mac was born. She is getting so big and of course still filling our world with so much sunshine. 

This month has been a big one for Mac, she has her first teeth!! They are so cute and she is such a champ about teething too, hardly ever gets fussy. She now eats three meals a day and has been pretty much introduced to most foods. She loves it too, especially when I feed her in her highchair when everyone else is eating at the dinner table because she feels like such a big girl. She rolls over both ways now, so baby proofing is in my routine because she is all over the place. I think crawling will be in our future real soon because she is starting to do the rock while sitting and she puts her hands down but just cant figure out how to get her legs in the right place. 

We went back down to So Cal for two weeks! It was so wonderful to see all of our family, but so hard to be away from daddy (but i think it was extra hard for daddy). We did so much while we were home but never made it to the actual beach because it was June Gloom down there:( We did make it to the doctor though and Mackenzie is doing great, she is 18lbs 7 oz (95%) and 27 1/2 inches long (100%) so big!!

Papa taught her a new little trick, when you put your hand on her mouth and move it back and forth she makes noises and sounds like a little Indian (bababababa) so cute! She loves doing it so much that now she is starting to do on her own with her toys. Gotta love Papa's for teaching us such neat tricks:) 

We are now back in Sacramento and trying to get back into our routine; Matt is home for most of the month of June which is so nice for all of us.  I think both Mackenzie and I are a little road trip out for awhile, so we are going to enjoy just hanging out with our friends and watching daddy play baseball. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful month!! xoxo

Mother's Day

I had such a wonderful Mother's Day with my little girl. Mackenzie got Mama some really great things and we had Grandma Jayne and Great Grandma Marcia here for the weekend. It was so much fun; we had picnics in the park, shopping and a wonderful brunch for Mother's day. Thanks again Grandma Jayne:-)

5 Months!!!!

 Mackenzie is 5 months old today and has had such a big month, she changes so much everyday. She now can sit up on her own, which she loves to do because she can play with all of her toys that Mama puts out in front of her. She has tried rice cereal and loves it! She now eats it twice a day, we are hoping to introduce her first vegetable in about two weeks. She knows her name when we call her she looks over and gives us the biggest smile it just melts our hearts. She went to the pool for the first time and did really good, she was kicking her legs and smiling; it was such a hot day so I know the water felt so good:-) She now does this big belly laugh that is just the funniest thing in the world. Those are just some of the things that little Mac can do, we just think she is so amazing and we love to just stare at her in amazement.

Baseball is going good, we are getting into a great routine. Mackenzie just loves the games and she is definitely on baseball schedule now, which is great for Mommy and Daddy:-) Whenever Matt leaves for a road trip we are so said, but when he comes home Mackenzie's eyes get so wide and her feet start kicking; she loves her daddy so much. 

In a couple of weeks we are heading back down south to visit family and friends, I cant wait to take Mackenzie to the beach its going to be so much fun! Well happy Cinco De Mayo everyone and just clink on the slide show to the right to view our little angel's pictures.

Happy Easter!!

The Easter Bunny came today for little Mackenzie and brought her all sorts of things! But she was way more interested in the wrapping:-) She also got to wear her beautiful Easter dress and go to her daddy's game with her Grandma Jayne, Aunt Nicole and Uncle Kyle; who all came to visit for Easter. It was such a fun full day for Little Mac:-)

So much fun Mama!!

4 Months Old!

Our little Angel is growing up so fast she is 4 months and a week old today. This past month has been a big one for little Mac. She can now roll over from her back to her tummy and because of that she is spending so much time on her tummy, I swear she is going to crawl before she sits up on her own! She laughs all the time now and its the cutest laugh we have ever heard. Everything goes in Mackenzie's mouth no matter what you give her she puts it right in; so funny!

She was weighed a week ago at her 4 month check up and she is 16lbs 2oz and 26 inches long (such a big girl!!). After spring training we went home for a week and stayed on the ranch where Mackenzie got to see all of our family and a horse for the first time:-) She was not real sure what it was but like to look at it run around the pen.

We are now in Sacramento for the season and getting settled into our routine. Mackenzie is getting so good at traveling it took us about eight hours to get here and she did so amazing! Mama went and got her so many toys so she had plenty to do the whole way up here.

Now are next challenge is 7:00pm baseball games, this should be really interesting since Mac is usually in bed no later than 9:00pm:-) But she is such a little trooper that I know she will be great because she is our little baseball baby:-)

Me and Nana:-)

Day at the Ball Park

Mackenzie goes to most of all the games, but today was extra special because she got to take some pictures with her daddy in her little Athletic Gear. Go A's!!!! She wishes her nana was here to see her and misses her already. Love you mom:-)

3 Months Old!!!

Mackenzie is 3 Months Old!! Wow how time fly's; we are having such a great time here in Arizona, hanging out with friends and soaking up the Sun! Little Mac is getting so big; she talks all the time now and squeals (its getting louder and louder) and smiles at us too. She has found her hands and loves to put them in her mouth as well as grab onto her little rattles and put those in her mouth too. She can hold her head up great now and is becoming stronger everyday.

She went to her first baseball game and fell asleep! So funny I guess that's what she thinks of baseball (haha). She is such a good girl at the ball games; she loves to watch all the people and loves to listen to the noises. Almost everyday her and I take the dogs to the park and walk around the lake; she loves to be pushed around in her stroller. One of our favorite things is when we are laying in bed together and she loves to touch my face; she touches my mouth, eyes and nose and talks to me softly while she does it (SO SWEET).

We are so in love with her and she is melting everyone's hearts everyday. Now its on to our next adventure; moving up to Northern Cali to start the season!
