Busy Weeks = Massive Post!

Well we have definitely had fun these past few weeks!! I can't believe how much happens so quickly! In the past two weeks she has started following objects, smiling, rolling over, splashing in her bath, baby talking and growing like a weed!! My, my, my!


Makenzie really likes to be on her tummy playing on the floor. I set toys all around her and she is so intrigued by them. She can easily lift her head and chest up off the floor and look all around at them. Last week Wednesday (Blizzard day) she rolled over for the first time!! And I totally missed it. I went to go grab a cookbook off the kitchen table and came back and she wasn't on her tummy anymore :0( Holy cow!! Makenzie didn't roll over again until Monday night where she did it over and over and over and over again!! I wish my camera was working... she would roll over and get this huge grin on her face! Adorable!

Doesn't she look like Matt here!?!?

We had a wonderful surprise a few Sunday's ago! We heard that Brian & Mandi + Co. were in town. So we had them swing by for some burgers and some fun! Natalie and Caleb sure do love their baby cousin!

Soon after they came over, all the kids were on the floor playing!
(Yes, the big boys too... Brian and Matthew)This is what happens when Natalie goes missing at our house!! :0)
Smile Boogity!!

6 Weeks Old

Makenzie also got to visit Great Grandma and Grandpa Carson! I had my 6 week checkup in Zeeland and stopped to visit Grandma and Grandpa... ended up leaving Makenzie there for Grandma to watch! By time I got back Makenzie was sound asleep cuddled up in Grandma's lap!

I think they both had a really good time!

When we had the Blizzard, Matt worked all day Tuesday, then went into plow Tuesday night at 11 and didn't finish until 5:00 on Wednesday!! Makenzie didn't like that stretch w/o her daddy! For two nights I was the one getting her ready for bed instead of her daddy and she was definitely noticing the change. (I think she gets sick of me by the end of the day! :0) ) So when Matt came home Wed night and was changing her diaper she couldn't stop smiling! I still have yet to see her smile that big again.

Daddy and Makenzie taking a snooze after a long day plowing!

That next night Matt spent most of the night with her! So she got a nice warm bath in her Whale Tub and then some nudy play time on the floor!

Dave and Lisa and family came down to visit this past Saturday! What fun to see Joshua and Makenzie next to each other and comparing them :0) Joshua was very interested in seeing what he could get of Makenzie's hair! LOL... Makenzie didn't care too much! She definitely watched him when he had her ball!!

I just love this picture of Joshua! Look at those eyes!!!
More kiddos playing on the floor!
Matt, Dave and Claire all went outside to go sledding! They ended up building a house for Claire too! That next morning Matt could hardly get out of bed!! Way to give him a work out Claire!!

This past Sunday we had my Grandpa's birthday party!! How fun! Most of the family hadn't seen Makenzie since she was born!! And she was introduced to a few cousins she hadn't met yet! It was still fun... even tho she slept the WHOLE time! :0)

Mom, Grandma, Makenzie and I all posed for a 4 generations picture!! Makenzie did wake up for just a FEW seconds for those few snaps!

So far this week has been pretty mellow! On Monday we headed into Metro Toyota to say hello to the girls. Jen bought Makenzie the cutest green and pink knitted flower hat!! LOVE IT!!! Poor Jen didn't get to hole Makenzie b/c she was sick :0( Excuse to bring her in again then!!

Makenzie must have had fun with them because that night we couldn't keep her from rolling over! We made her stop after she lost control of her head and it hit the carpet! LOL... I had to laugh tho. She is so happy rolling over!! I am just loving the smiles!

That's all for now... More pics to come!
