Diced apples are yummy. Thank you Auntie Audra.
Grandma, Elmo is cool.
One drawback to having a baby who can sit up and stand… until she figures out how to lay back down, Mommy and Daddy’s sleep gets interrupted.
We spent lots of time on Sunday standing. At one point Kenzie stood for around 30 minutes moving up and down the the couch and turning to hold onto the ottoman, then back to the couch. Mommy also got to see her sit up without any help.
So yesterday when Cheri sent me a cam phone pic of Mackenzie standing at the couch, I really didn’t think it to be anything special. At least not until I read this email:
I walked out to put my plate up and came back and she was like that…she was on her tummy when I walked out of the room.
Cool! Mackenzie stood up on her own for the first time!
Over the weekend we also set up the webcam to look down on her bed. It has been quite amusing to see her playing and rolling around. Well for yesterday’s afternoon nap, Grandma connected to watch for a bit, but had to disconnect to go home. So I got to connect from work (this cam only allows one connection). After Kenzie woke up, she played and rolled around some. I was mostly working, but occasionally taking a peek at the cam window. So around 4pm I took a peek just in time to see Kenzi in the middle of pulling herself up in her crib! Yup, I called home to tell Cheri so she wouldn’t miss it.
So, Kenzie stood up on her own twice in one day!
Oh yeah… Mackenzie is 11 months old today!
Mommy walked in to get Mackenzie from her afternoon nap and found her sitting up in the crib. Kenzie looked up with a big grin on her face and squealed. Mommy squealed too!
Have you ever wondered what happens in the life of a chair? To the left is Cheri with her aunt on Christmas in 1968. To the right is Kenzie in 2006.
Yup, Grandma cried when she saw this.
