What the hell are THESE things?



This is what I imagine Mackenzie is saying once she discovered her hands a couple of weeks ago.

All I want for Christmas....

When Nick and I were little, we had this wooden horse hanging in the basement that we used to ride on. Well, my parents recently found it in their garage, and gave it to us to hang in our basement for Ellie.
Ellie saw it, and immediately told Santa all she wanted for Christmas was a rocking horse. So a week before Christmas, Tom and my Dad got the horse hung in the basement.

The immediate thoughts of a concerned Papa? She needs some mats or something underneatch it in case she falls, plus she should wear a helmet. Where were these thoughts when my brother and I were kids? We were left to our own devices to swing as high as we wanted, and hit whatever we wanted. Things are different for the grandkids I guess :)
Thanks Uncle Nick for letting us borrow the horse for the time being. It is a huge hit!

Can I come down yet???
Santa came!
Looking at the stocking loot from SANTA!


Cammie got presents too!



Can you leave me alone? I am trying to sleep.



Sisters.




Will we ever get a good picture of the two of them together? One is always horsing around, and the other is sleeping...

Mackenzie - 2 month update


Mackenzie went in for her 2 month apt last month and is developing quite well. She weighed in at 12lbs 5 oz (80th percentile) and was 23" long (75th percentile). So already she is larger than what Ellie was at this age. She is starting to smile, and seems to interact more with us then just crying and sleeping.
She seems to be outgrowing her reflux, which we are extremely happy about, but she is still VERY gassy. Somedays I call her the dirty old man with the way she eliminates gas from her body.
She is doing well, and seems to even be coming out of the colic stage (with a little help from Mom and the elimination of coffee from their diets).
