Happy Birthday Mackenzie!

Mackenzie turned 1 today.  It was fun to reminisce where we were 1 year ago today, and what we were doing.  The past year has gone by in a quick minute, and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon.

In 1 year Mackenzie went from the (affectionately referred to) bag of skin phase, to a little walker and talker.

M started to walk about 3 weeks ago, and is really starting to get the hang of it.  Don't let the little black eye fool you!  Of course, its important for me to mention that this didn't happen on our watch - it happened one day at school. 

M knows about 4 words that she uses consistently.  Up, Dada, All-done, and Hi.  She sometimes uses baba - but only if prompted. 

I bravely stuck my finger in her mouth tonight to see if the 4th tooth on the bottom had cut through yet, and instead found 3 molars.  We are up to 10 teeth now.  4 in front on top, 3 in front on the bottom, and 3 one year molars.  So, no wonder why she has been such a crab apple.  All 10 teeth have come in since her 6 month check up.  I don't think I will be sticking my finger in there anytime soon again!

We are slowly taking away her bottles, and she has been off of baby food for over a month now.  She loves table food, especially, meats, cheeses, and fruits. 

Happy Birthday Mackenzie!  We can't wait to find out what the next year will bring us!

I was finally able to capture her scrunchy face on camera -
