No CommentsSweet Saturday
(Can’t see the video at the top of this post? Click here. It’s of Chris and Mackenzie. Holy cute.) This past Saturday was so much fun. So full of beautiful memories. We made ebelskivers with dark chocolate for breakfast, played at the pool with Mackenzie, shopped for groceries, and then Chris made the best salmon...

9 CommentsPaci Free
Last Saturday at Mackenzie’s nine-month checkup, her pediatrician recommended that we wean her from her pacifier immediately. She said that we have a window right now, and if we miss it, we might end up with a two- or three-year-old who still needs her paci. I have no idea if this is true. A few...

2 CommentsMackenzie Now {Nine Months}
Mackenzie has changed so much in the last month. She engages with us, plays with us, talks to us. I’m starting to see a little girl when I look at her, and not just my sweet baby. Mackenzie seems to get more active by the day. No crawling (yet!), but she is obsessed with her...

4 CommentsBefore and Behind
When Mackenzie was six months old, we established a bed time routine with her that includes reading a Bible story, talking about the story, and praying together. For the last few nights, we’ve been reading about Jesus’ death and resurrection. Baby Bible stories are written to be incredibly brief, but Chris and I have kind...

4 CommentsBare Bottomed Baby
As Mackenzie grows, our cloth diapering adventures continue. I rarely (ever? never?) post pictures of Mackenzie without her diaper and some clothes on for privacy reasons. In fact, we’re pretty modest in general, and she is nearly always fully clothed, even at home. But today deserved – nay, required an exception. Mackenzie has been really...

No Comments{You Capture} Water
I haven’t posted for You Capture in quite a while, and I feel the urge to post something… different? more creative? here tonight. It’s been such a stressful week, and I want to post something just for fun. Nothing has been more fun lately than watching Mackenzie’s personality really develop. She loves to play. In...

5 CommentsAtlanta Trip Recap
Our trip to Atlanta last weekend was really fun, in spite of us all having the Worst Summer Cold Ever. So much has happened this week, though, that I’m just now posting a little recap. We got into Atlanta around midnight on Friday and went straight to bed. The next morning we were up early,...

No CommentsZe Colds. Ve Haz Dem.
Mackenzie has a cold. (Confirmed by her pediatrician today. What can I say — baby coughs, and I want to take her in. This is my first time.) Now I have a cold, and Chris feels run down. Yay. Bah. There should be no such thing as a summer cold. Seriously. But we’re still leaving...

No CommentsHappy Birthday to My One and Only
Yesterday we celebrated my sweet husband’s 29th birthday. It was a grown-up, dad-of-an-infant kind of birthday, with dinner served quickly and sandwiched in between Mackenzie’s dinner and bedtime. For dessert I made dark chocolate brownies served with mint chocolate chip ice cream… which we ate leisurely (ha!) at the kitchen table, in between fussy baby...

4 CommentsHappy Eight Months!
Mackenzie is eight months old today! We set up a little photo shoot, took some pictures, and then ate watermelon to celebrate. I’ve had so many blog posts brewing in my head lately, but literally no time to write them down. I started an impossible Memorial Day project (again) on Friday, and I am desperately...
