Mackenzie Lately :o)

So I can't believe it's been since February that I have written on here.  I am actually really bad at this whole blogging thing that sometimes I'm on a roll, and other times I have to admit, been a bit too lazy. :o)

Anyways, Mackenzie is growing up way to quickly!! I can't believe that she will be 8 months old at the end of this month.  I truly do understand the phrase "time flys".  What Mackenzie has been up to:
- she is quite the chatterbox.  loves to talk, and even loves to hear herself talk.  haha
- LOVES the mirror.  she can look at herself all day.  it is pretty funny to watch her interaction with herself
- she is quite the little chunker....love all her kissable rolls and cheeks!
- mastered sitting all by herself, no support whatsoever
- has not started crawling yet, but she will move herself around in a circle to get to things, and moves all over in her crib, she does push up using her legs, but doesn't get to far just yet.  i'm thankful that right now she is not full out on the go.  i'm going to enjoy it until my days will never be the same when she is a very mobile one.  :o)
- loves her little stuffed bunny that she received from her great grandma Peep.  she snuggles next to that bunny every night...it is quite cute. 
- love all the solid foods -- i would say right now she really loves the veggies -- green beans, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes -- gonna try and make broccoli soon as well as corn. 
- she does like fruits -- did try oranges for the first time, but i dont think she is a fan.  loves apples, pears, bananas, and grapes
- quite the little snuggler she is....especially when she is tired
- has two bottom teeth already, and i think she may be getting an upper tooth
- this month, i have actualy been brave, and dropped her off at the church nursery all by herself without Zach or i --only since she has become quite vocal, i can't have her disrupting the pastor and others around me, and she did great!
- visited our first zoo as a family...it was a little zoo with the major animals being cows, horses, and sheep, but nonetheless, it was a zoo.  i think i enjoyed it more than she did....partly since she was distracted by EVERYTHING around her (leaves, sky, etc. not just the animals)
- LOVES bath time....she will splish splash around all night if i allowed her too.  it is so much fun to watch her in the tub. 
- has crazy mohawk hair...not a whole lot i can do with it now, but it's still so fun to see her wake up in the morning. 

Well I think that about sums about the past couple months.  I am just truly soaking up this stage, and love being a mommy.  Don't worry though....definitely not ready for baby #2 haha.
