Keeping up with Cora

Friday night, we went to Jared and Cassen's (old) house and cleaned! The movers packed all their stuff up last week and took it to Colorado. Their house was being shown on Saturday so we cleaned it up for them.

Mackenzie didn't get to stay for very long... Dustin took her home so she could go to bed.

We put M in her seat to see what she would do. She played for 5 seconds then she flung herself out of it...She had moved on to bigger and better toys now. That chair was so two months ago! haha!

Mom, Mackenzie and I headed out the door to Fort Smith.. I told Dustin I left some fish and green beans on the stove.. He quickly said "I'll pass"

We ate at TGI Fridays.. after we bought some new boots and baseball pants for Dustin.

Mackenzie

:)

He might not match your clothes very good, but he loves you to pieces!!

(And you are pretty crazy about him too!)

Saturday morning, we slept in (8:00 am) Dustin ran some errands and I picked up house and of course played with Mackenzie! Duffy called and asked if we would meet them at Fuji's.. I HATED Fuji's the first time I went, and now I find myself craving it.

Pops whispers in Mackenzie's ear and she Loves it! I am crazy about the new outfit she is wearing that mom got her...

The high chairs were very very low to the ground so Duffy stacked two together and she was at our height... She was eating soup here. I love the death grip on the high chair.. Eating is serious business with this girl.

Watching the fire on the Hibachi Grill..

She was getting way too impatient for me to feed her

some rice so she took the spoon from me :)

When we got home Saturday night, M was wheezing pretty bad. After a breathing treatment and a very long and congested night, we got up early Sunday and took her in to the Dr.

Daddy and Mackenzie

The Verdict: Another ear infection.

Mackenzie is very congested and her throat is killing her, so she has decided to only swallow when she HAS to (See the shirt?) Mackenzie's cousin Eli lives in Texas and the poor boy has gotten all of his teeth nonstop.. I text Cary and asked if E had taught M to drool and turns out they were dressed a like Sunday... I love it! :)

Mackenzie, you are nine months old!!

I asked your daddy what we ever did before you were born...We really don't remember what we did? You are always the subject of our conversations.

-You still take formula, and you are the best eater! Mrs. Sherry usually tries new stuff out with you and then lets us know what you thought...Right now you are loving grilled cheese, strawberry wafers, granola bars, yogurt, rice, and green beans.

-You are waking up 1-2 times a night.. we are working hard on your sleeping, and we haven't gotten anywhere! You want your bottle, then you head right back to sleep.

Mac,

Its 9 months now and we have had quite a trip. Had several bouts with pneumonia, sinus problems, and now an ear infection. Its been a long and rough ride but I am glad and have had a blast trying to keep up with you. You are getting so old and are so smart for only being 9 mos old. Your mother and I talk every night when we put you to sleep about how big you have gotten, and how fast you get through the house and how much we have to keep an eye on you. I cant wait until your 1st birthday because we get to throw you a party. Stinker, you are so pretty and love your smile even though you have one and a half teeth. Its precious, and yes your dad did say it is precious. I love you and cant wait until you wake up at 3 am for your mother to feed you!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA it will be me, cause mom fed you last night. Remember your mother and I will do anything for you and don't forget that and don't push it.

Love you Stinker

These next few pictures have made me almost wet my pants today! :) haha!

Dustin picked Mackenzie up from Mrs. Sherry's today and all I heard was "Wait til you see this" (To me that sounded a lot like "Hey yall, watch this!" and we all know how scary that can be coming from a man)

My very best friend, Andie, is having a horrible (work) day today! I hope this makes her laugh! :)

Mom and I left for the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans early Sunday morning. I had requested that Dustin send me pictures of Mackenzie while we were gone.... Here are a few of the pictures that I have received so far...

"Safe to say she likes duck!!!!!!!!"

"She loves her mobile"

I know the bows are super cute (I can't lie!) but with that much hair, we have to use a bow to pull it out of her face so she can see! Everyone tells us we need to get it cut but I will tell you NO WAY, NO HOW!! She was blessed with gorgeous hair and we want it to grow out... No bangs for us!

I have also received a picture of Mackenzie standing at the back door after she spilled Sarge's water everywhere, and a picture this morning in her "I've been a Hog fan my whole life" shirt that she is wearing today for the big game! I couldn't get those pictures to load on my computer though..

Mom and I are having a blast! I left my camera cord in the car last night and you DO NOT go outside at night unless you absolutely have to around here! :) Look for us at the Sugar Bowl Tonight!
