It started like this. Mackenzie was sitting on my dad's lap while he was working on his computer and he decided to entertain her by setting a woodworking magazine on her lap. She loved it! She went crazy smacking the pages and cooing like she was reading out loud. When she was done with a page she would just stop cooing or moving and my dad would change the page and she would start all over again. It was sooo cute and entertained her for an hour.
So I decided to buy her one of those cloth books for babies. The spine is a teething ring so she can chew on it if she chooses. I gave it to her when we got home from shopping and she loved sitting in the big chair reading her book.
Then on the ride to Concord, NC to look at a truck for Jase I gave her the book for entertainment. She didn't want to read it this time. She grabbed on to it and started moving it and playing with it. Then she got quiet and I turned back to see her shoving it into her mouth! Silly girl decided she was done reading it and it was time to eat it. She's so funny.
Mackenzie and I have been loving having Jason home. They are getting along so well. We thought maybe it would be a transition having daddy around all the time, but she has adjusted to having him around really well. She just seems happy to have 24/7 attention from two parents at the same time. I feel like a better mother because i'm not worn so thin or so tired. We are loving having our man back!

Mackenzie was a kitty for Halloween. I thought it was appropriate because whenever I sing "Old Macdonald" to her she loves the kitty sounds. She always trys to make them with me. But she wasn't too impressed with her costume. The picture above is her "i'm not happy and i'm going to cry soon" face. It's so stinking cute!!
My little kitty. We had a family Halloween party and ate Chili and a bunch of yummy treats. It was a fun day minus daddy still being in Iraq. Three more weeks and he's home for good!!
