12 month details and stats!

Mommy is behind on blogging so I am just getting around to completing this post! Anyway, here is what you are up to these days my Mckenzie bear.

1)  At the doctor on Friday you weighed 19 pounds 8 ounces and were 29.5 inches long.  You wear a size 3 diaper but we will soon move on to size 4s. 
2)  You are nursing about 4 times a day and LOVE food.  You will eat anything and demand food.  You also want to eat it like we are.  If we have a fork, you want a fork, if we have a bowl and spoon, you want a bowl and spoon. It is pretty funny!


3)  You can say mamma, dada, ball, more, this, that and really try to repeat anything that we say.  You can also sign more, all done, swing and we just started working on bath and you do it but I wouldn't say you have it mastered yet. 


4)  You have not started to walk yet but are starting to stand without holding on to things and you walk the kitchen table chairs all around and cruise the sofas.  I give you another couple of months on walking. 


5)  You go to bed around 7 or 8 and get up around 7.  You usually wake up for a snack or two and spend about 1/2 the night in bed with me.  Although there have been a few mornings you decide to get up at 6 or even 8.  I prefer the latter.  You take 2 naps.  A short one around 10 and a longer one around 2.  There have even been a couple of days after you slept until 8 that you only took one nap. 
6)  You love to play with the water spicket and make a big mess.  You also love to play in the shower.  I know you are really going to be ready for swimming and for the splash park.


7)  You are very sweet and gentle to Duke and I think he appreciates it! HA!  You are working on saying dog but I don't think you quite have it yet.

7)  You point to everything that you see and say this or that.  If I tell you what it is then you usually try to say that too.

8)  You want to do everything that big sister does now.  Sometimes this works out great and sometimes it doesn't.  :)

9)  You can now climb the entire set of stairs in about 3.2 seconds.  Momma has to be quick and remember to close the gates now. :)


10)  You love bath time. You and your sister splash and splash in there until you are ready for bed.


We love you so much sister bear!  I can't believe how fast the last year has gone.  I have loved watching you grow and change so much over the last year.  I know that the next year you will grow and change just as much! I can't wait!  We love you so much!

Fun with Braden

My friend Angie's normal sitter was out of town so I watched her son Braden for a couple of days last week.  Him and Bailey had a great time playing and shared very well for a couple of 3 year olds. :) 



The first day we went to the zoo! I think I need a bigger stroller! HA!  Actually it worked out perfect because Bailey would rather walk so Braden was able to ride and Bailey would sometime hop on the front part and sit.



Having a goldfish snack.  Neither one of these turkeys likes to look at the camera so just imagine they are both looking at the camera! HA!


Checking out the monkey


Kai, Phoneix and Daysha joined us too. 


Feeding the girafee!

THe next day we spent it at home playing with playdough


and acting like a couple of monkeys!  We had a fun time Braden!  Come back and play with us soon!

Mckenzie's First Birthday Party


Mckenzie's Birthday party was a huge success and I am tired! Ha!  I did all these cute decorations for Bailey's 1st birthday so I wanted to do the same for Mckenzie but I thought it would be easier! HA!  I have been staring and working on party decorations on and off at my dining room table since Christmas!

I think I am going to hang this birthday sign for every birthday until the girls are 18! HA


How old am I?  I had pictures of Mckenzie from birth through now.  I will probably include these in a blog post soon!


I saw this idea on pinterest and thought it was cool.  Who looks more like Mckenize with pictures of me and Trev as babies.  Trev won by one vote.  I will post those pics later if you care!

We had lots of friends who came to enjoy the day with MCkenzie.  Thank you to all who came.


Cade must have seen the movie up becuase he gathered all the balloons and up the stairs he went! Too cute!

I got her butterfly cupcake cake at Wal-mart.  Wal-mart has disappointed me with many things but I have always been ver happy with their cakes!  Yummy!


Look at sisters face!  She wanted the CAKE bad!  I remember Bailey could care less about cake on her first birthday but sister always wants ALL food!


She even signed "more" requesting some cake!  Poor thing!


She did stop and smile and look around when we sang to her though.


Finally we let her dig in!


By the end she had 2 cupcakes!


Sister and with the pinata


Candy!


Presents!


Hmmmmm....what's in here?


Thank you all for coming to my party! I had fun!


Apparently a few people had too much punch or partied to hard!
