A little piece of Mac

LOVES the park :-)

This is what we found when kenzie fed Ruby....she HAD to bring ruby the food :-)

......and she found her as she was telling Zoey "bad dog" because its RUBY'S food!!!

Such a big girl...no more high chair!!!

A little update on our BIG girl....Mackenzie is such a little crack up lately. She is now saying things that Matt and I cannot stop laughing at. The latest is EVERYTHING is beautiful "oh mommy that is beautiful" or "look mommy the stars and moon, they are beautiful." Matt and I call her a little parrot because she repeats EVERYTHING we say and do! We also taught her the song "Shake shake shake...shake your bootie" It is the funniest thing to hear when she sings it!

She adores Addison and Addie likes her too, whenever Mackenzie talks to her Addie smiles and looks so happy. She also adores all her grandparents and her Uncle Tay Tay and aunt boobie and she cannot get enough of her dogs and they are sooooo patient with her.

She can count from 1 to 10 and knows all her ABC's and the song too! We are working on her colors, right now everything is either red or pink (such the princess).

We are sooooo proud of our little girl and are enjoying every little moment of her :-)

Addison is 2 months old :-)

Happy Girl

Crazy Hair

Addie and her best friend Elsie (only 2 hours apart)

Our little Addie is getting so big! She is such a wonderful baby and makes me smile every minute of the day. She is starting to smile herself too and tell us little stories, she also recognizes her Mommy (who is her favorite person right now). She is a great sleeper and loves a schedule; she takes about 4 to 5 naps a day and also sleeps 5 to 6 hours straight at night and loves to be swaddled tight and rocked to sleep. She also has such amazing patience with all of us....especially her big sister who cannot get enough of her!

Her hair is a brown right now but she has blond growing in, so I'm anxious to see what color it will be. Her eyes are a light blue and her lashes are getting long and thick (which is what every woman wants), she also has such an amazing smile with the cutest little dimple to go along with it. I just love to stare and talk to her, she is truly the sweetest most lovable baby, we are so in love!

Matching Outfits :-)

With Uncle Kywoo :-)

Addison always has two people giving her a bottle :-)

It has been a very blessed but a little stressful month....Addison has taught me that true fact that not all kiddos are alike!!! Poor little thing I was doing all the things that I did with Kenzie and just assumed thats what all babies like.....boy was I wrong!!! Addison is also very vocal and will let you know the minute she is upset or wants something. So through trial and lots of error I have now realized that Addison loves to be swaddled really tight (kenzie did not), she loves for you to hold her swaddled and dance and sing to her, she also LOVES her sleep....do not let this little child get overtired or you will be in for it!!!! Eating of course is her most favorite thing...she never lost any weight from the hospital and at her two week check up she had already gained 16oz and grew 3 inches...YIKES!!! She is a little weed and we love it.

Addison has also taught me that your heart grows the minute you have another child....I love this little baby so much it hurts and I cannot wait (but I can a little) for her to grow and change before our eyes.

Christmas and New Years 2010

Christmas Morning

Oh wow look what santa got for me!!!

Our little cook

Matt and his siblings (we never get a pic of them together)

This is what the Grandmas got from Mac and Addie

Kenzie outside the Biltmore

We had a really great Christmas and New Years this year, Mackenzie of course made out big this year with all her presents. She got her first little kitchen and loves it....she cooks us something different every night. She also got lots of coloring things, pots and pans, stuffed animals, books, clothes, bath toys and the list goes on and on. Between her birthday and Christmas she started to ask me everyday if she could open a present! Addison also got a few things of her own too and soon she will be able to enjoy them.

For New Years Eve we packed up the entire family and drove to Arizona for our good friend Mark's wedding. It was a short but very fun trip, we stayed at the Arizona Biltmore and it was the first time that Matt and I were away from the girls for more than two hours!! After we rang in the New Year with great friends we went back to a room of sleeping kiddos!! Grandma and Papa did a great job getting them to go to sleep and it was soooo nice for Mommy and Daddy to get a little time away :-)

We are so excited for 2011 and we feel so blessed for our girls.....its going to be an amazing year watching them change and grow....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Our girls

I just had to post these pictures, just so everyone can see how Mackenzie face just spells happiness when she is around her sister. She always wants to hold her and she is just the happiest girl in the world when she gets too!!!

Our 2 year old

Mackenzie turned two a week ago and again as I always say, its crazy how fast they grow! She of course made out like a bandit with toys, she got a tricycle, a race track, table and chairs for her tea time, and much more. She had a blast too; the theme was Cars the movie (which is her favorite) actually she is obsessed with any car and horses so we decided to do cars for this birthday and maybe we can do a horse theme for the next one :-)

Everyday my child amazes me with the words that she is saying and the things that she is doing. She has become very fond of the word "no" which is so much fun for Momma. She is such a little talker too.....never stops!!! Pottey training has taken a step back since Addison has arrived but we are making a little comeback....so hopefully in a couple of months she will be wearing big girl panties. Other Mackenzie's favorites are: her tea set, her baby dolls, her dogs and of course her new little baby sister.

She really has been so amazing with Addison, she loves to watch diaper changes, bath time, feeding and just watching Addie sleep. She tells me that she wants Addie to "sit" and she points to the floor so she can "read book Addie". I know she cant wait for her to get a little bigger so she can play with her. She kisses her 100 times a day and LOVES to give Addie her binky. One funny story is when Matt was sitting with Addison and Kenze on the couch, Addsion started to get fussy and Kenzie got up grabbed Addie's binky and gave it to Matt and said "here daddy" and then goes and sits back down to continue watching her show on TV!

She truly has made this adjustment from being a mom of one to a mom of two pretty easy and enjoyable. I just love her so much I want to cry sometimes!

Proud Daddy

A very happy but tired mommy :-)

Love this :-)

I have the same picture of Kenzie sleeping like this in our bed

Our angel

Our new little bundle of joy has arrived and we could not be any more blessed. She is by far a gift from god and we are so thankful for her and her big sister.

I forgot how easy newborns are compared to toddlers (haha); she is such a wonderful baby, basically she eats, sleeps, and poops right now but I love to just stare at her precious little face. Her delivery was pretty awesome too...5 hours and one and a half pushes and she was out!

Mackenzie is really in love with her; she LOVES to kiss her and rub her head and is very gentle. Its still an adjustment for Kenze and she has her moments at times (which I'm blamming the terrible twos on) but all in all she is doing really well with our newest addition.

I always wondered how a mother can love another child as much as her first, and now I know that your heart just gets bigger because I am so madly in LOVE with both of my sweethearts.

Halloween

Precious

So excited for the candy she got!!!!

Mackenzie was the cutest little ladybug for halloween, she also went trick o treating and LOVED it! She got so much candy and got the hang of it right away. She was so darn cute, it almost brought a tear to my eye seeing her go to her first house with her little bag.....she is getting so big!!!

Pumpkin Patch

We went down the street to our pumpkin patch and Kenzie had a blast! She also had so much fun carving the pumpkins too :-)
