Mackenzie's First Easter

Mackenzie's first Easter was, thankfully, an uneventful one. We went to church then to my dad's for breakfast. Before breakfast we did run to my mom's really quick so they could see Mackenzie in her Easter dress. After breakfast with my Dad, we went to the Eggering's and had dinner. It was really nice because everyone got to see Mackenzie.




Check out her cheesy smile!!!!


Mackenzie was so tired on Easter Sunday that she snuggled and napped with 2 of her grandpas. Grandpa Rich was the only one that decided to take one with her.




This just shows that you are never too old to hunt for Easter eggs!!!

Keith's 50th Birthday

On March 21st, my step-dad Keith turned 50. Fortunate enough, that day fell on a Saturday and my mom through him a surprise party. He had a day full of surprises. His 3 daughters called him that morning to tell him "Happy Birthday" (they live in Southern Illinois) and ended up showing up on his doorstep later that night. To keep the surprises going, my mom had a party for him at Chiuahas in Troy. He was totally surprised!!

Mackenzie's 2 Month Visit

Yesterday was Mackenzie's 2 Month doctor's visit. She now weighs 12 lbs 3 1/2 ozs and is 22 1/4 inches long. She is really putting on the weight!! The doctor told us with the way she is gaining, we can put her on cereal in about a month. She also had about 3 shots. She did cry (and so did Mommy...I think Daddy was a little upset too) but after they got done and Mommy was able to pick her up, she was fine. She slept fine last night and so far today has not gotten a fever from it. I hope she does this well with all of her shots!!!

Mackenzie's Baptism

So I decided to take a break from packing to upload some pictures.

On Sunday March 8th, Mackenzie Nicole was baptized at St Mary's church in Hawk Point. After the baptism we had a dinner at the church hall for everyone. It was definitely a fun-filled day!

In her pretty little dress Grandma Jane and Grandpa Rich got Mackenzie.

She didn't even cry when the water was poured over her head.

I don't think Matt can stand any straighter or stiffer, do you?

With mommy and daddy

This was really a once in a lifetime photo, so I had to make sure to get it. Matt's brother-in-law hardly ever holds babies. I think he prefers them when they are a little older.

Slacker

I know that I have slacked on putting up some new pictures (mainly Baptism) but we have been SUPER busy. Matt and I have a contract on our house so we have been house-hunting. We found one that we both liked, so now the fun of packing begins. The set close date on both houses in April 3rd. I promise I will get some new pictures up as soon as I can. Whenever Mackenzie is not around or sleeping I have to take advantage of that and get some packing done. :-)

I went back to work this last week, so it has been an adjustment for all of us. Mackenzie is attending daycare in Troy, so Matt is taking her and picking her up. The first few days were rough for the both of us, but we are now on the right track.

Matt and Mackenzie sleep together quite a bit at night. She eats around 6 and falls asleep for a few hours, so Matt decides to sleep with her. This really helps when she gets up at 2 am because Matt is well rested. :-)

Daddy's Girl

When Mackenzie woke up this morning, I had Matt feed her so I could take a shower. When I got out of the shower, this is what I found-both sound asleep.

Mackenzie's First Farm Show/Roadtrip to Kansas City

This weekend, Mackenzie and I ventured to Kansas City where Matt was working at the Western Farm Show. We went up on Thursday morning and came home this morning. Mackenzie did really good in the car, until it was time to eat. By then we were at our destinations, so it really didn't matter.

All worn out from the ride to KC!

Last night, Matt's sister Anna and her family babysat Mackenzie so Matt and I could have a night out. We really had a fun time. We went to dinner with everyone from the show and then a few of us went out to some bars. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures, but that is all right.

This morning before breakfast. I had to put her jacket on her to go to the hotel lobby and I guess she thought it was funny because she kept smiling at me the whole time.

Emma's Beauty Pagent

Yesterday my niece, Emma, was in a Little Miss beauty pagent in Carbondale, IL. Mackenzie and I made the trip with my mom and little sister to see her compete. She was so adorable in her gown, but as I got to looking around, there are a lot of psycho-moms out there!! Some of the outfits were unreal!! Little Miss Emma received 4th runner up and will be able to compete at the state level. We will not be able to make that competition, so good luck Princess Emma!!

Mackenzie slept through most of the competition. She got a little fussy towards the end, but what do you expect out of a 5 week old.

Mackenzie's First Valentine's Day

Mackenzie had her first Valentine's Day and it was a very eventful one. When we woke up, my step-dad had a card for her on the table-one of those really big ones. The card was twice her size!! I will try to get a picture of that and post it. She spent the day with my mom because Matt and I were house hunting.

In our Valentine's pjs.

The cute outfit my mom got her.

My mom also got her this bib.

Bank Baby Shower

On Wednesday, Mackenzie and I ventured to my work for my baby shower. Since Mackenzie came early, they waited until we were getting out and about good. It was really a fun day. We went in and had the shower during everyone's lunch shift. Everyone that wanted to see her, did...even though she was a little crabby (sorry guys!! :-))

She finally passed out. Mackenzie decided that she needed to be awake the whole time, which caused her to be fussy.

Visit While at Mamma and Papa's

Last night, Mackenzie and I stayed at my mom's because Matt is out of town. He was only gone last night because next week he will be gone the whole week to Kansas City. Mackenzie and I are going to join him, so stay tuned for pictures.

While we were here, my sister and her boyfriend came over to see Mackenzie. Adam hasn't seen her since she was a newborn in the hospital.

Looking at Aunt Rachel. Whenever you face her to the front, she cocks her head back to see who is holding her. If you hold her like a baby, she gets mad.

Adam taking a crack at holding her. Here he looks a little uncomfortable, but he finally relaxed.

I know she looks like a mummy in this picture, but she LOVES to be swaddled. She even has a little smile on her face in this picture.

Whenever she is really relaxed, she puts her arms above her head.

Exhausted after eating. Matt thought it was really funny that she just passed out.
