MacKenzie has started to repeat things we say. The other day, we were talking about Thanksgiving and feeling fat, and she said "FAT"! She now says Pop, dog, sock (although we don't encourage this one in public...sounds a little obscene, actually!), up, down, book (book sounds like "bap"), yeah, hi...and I am sure there are others that I am forgetting.
She signs a lot too. More, eat, banana, up, down, all done, cheese, dog, book. She will try all the signs you show her, but sometimes they look very similar!
She loves to walk to the post office in the hardware store across the alley from our house. And she loves her new mittens and scarf- it was so cold out today that she didn't even TRY to take them off!
My mom is having some work done at her house in the next couple of weeks, and we have been trying to get her ready for it. She can't live at her house while the work is being done, so she has moved in here temporarily. She and MacKenzie love this arrangement...they get to see each other every day now!
MacKenzie loves to read her books. She sits in her reading corner and pages through a book or two. Sometimes she is quiet, and other times she "reads" them out loud! Such a neat thing to see!
She is filled with love and hugs, and often comes over to give me a hug and a big "Hi!" while she is playing. Those unsolicited hugs and kisses are the best ones!
This picture is from her first birthday photo shoot at Sears. She has the same sweater on today, so I thought I would post this one.
We are hoping to get to Harper's Ferry, WV this weekend for a reenactment. We want MacKenzie to get her picture taken with the Civil War Santa there. It is always a great event.
MacKenzie did her first arts and crafts project earlier this week. I can't tell you what it is, because it's a surprise for someone who reads this blog... but I can tell you that it is CUTE! And the she did a great job with keeping still with messy paint on her fingers! I will post pics after Christmas.
