My Big Night Out

Since having surgery 3 weeks ago, I had only left the house 1 time to go to the doctor. I was getting a little stir crazy so Jason and Jeremy came over and helped JB get me out of the house and down to the car. My mom and Liz took me out for a night on the town! We ended up at Red Robin for dinner so we could sit outside and then went to Target. It doesn't sound like much, but it was the BEST night! Thank you Mom and Elizabeth!!!

Mackenzie's first spaghetti

In the last 3 weeks Mackenzie has started to eat table food. We started off with the usual bananas, avacado, and peas. Since Mama Patti is staying with us, we had her make homemade spaghetti. So Mackenzie got to try it. I think the pictures say it all! Her first bite....

Not quite sure what she thinks about it yet.

Decided she loved it and even had seconds!!

Just like her mom she loves her pasta!!

Taking a little break to suck her thumb.

Story time

When I first came home from the hospital, Jack was very worried about me. Since I couldn't really do anything with him and he couldn't sit with me, he decided he would sit as close to me as he could. He carried his little chair over to my bedside and read me a book. It was the cutest and sweetest thing I have ever seen!

The picture turned out a little blurry but he was even showing me the pictures!

I think I may have dozed off for a minute....

Daddy and Jack's big day out

The day after I came home from the hospital, JB took Jack on an adventure. They ended up at the Woodland Park Zoo for a day of fun and animals. They got to see quite a few animals but as always, the monkeys and gorillas were Jack's favorites. He had such a great time with just Daddy and has been talking about it ever since!

Jack and Mackenzie

A few weeks ago, Mackenzie woke up from her nap and Jack decided he wanted to go in and see her. I was a few steps behind him and when I got to her room, he had decided to get in and snuggle with her! He's now decided it's the thing to do and does it every chance he gets!

Mackenzie 8 month photos

Mackenzie had her 8 month photo shoot today and here are a few of my favorites. I can't believe she's already 8 months old!!

Day 7

I'm happy to report the playhouse is nearly done!!! JB and Papa John (with the help of Uncle Mike and Renee) made a ton of progress today. The playhouse is now totally functional. The slide is in and the climbing wall is complete. Jack loves it already and I know it is going to provide hours of fun!!

Seafair Weekend

Seafair weekend started off on Friday. JB, Jack and Papa John went out on the boat and watched the Blue Angels fly. Jack was so excited about the boat but was a little worried about the noise. Thankfully, Papa John brought headphones. He had such a great time but was a little upset he didn't get to watch boat races.

Saturday morning we picked up Uncle Michael and went down to enjoy the Seafair festivities. It was a little chilly and rainy but the kids loved it!

Jack's favorite part about the whole experience was watching the crane pick the planes up and put them into and take them out of the water. His favorite boat was the red one!

Jack feeding Mackenzie

So tonight at dinner, I got up to get Jack's dinner going and left Mackenzie in her high chair with her food on the table. Next thing I know, I look over and Jack has decided to take over. I know I have said this a few times already on this blog but it was honestly the cutest thing I have ever seen! If you watch the video, he even does the "airplane" to try and get her to eat. We honestly couldn't ask for a better big brother for Mackenzie!!

Mackenzie's New Friend

Mackenzie has discovered Bailey and now that she's on the move (she scoots and rolls wherever she wants to go), she always wants to be right next to her! She is such a good dog, she doesn't flinch even when Kenzie tugs on her collar.
