Had to show off the teef! Seems like not too long ago all I would see is a gummy smile.

Mackenzie has been under the weather but mostly in her diaper area, if you know what I mean. She still has been happy and in a good mood. I took these last night. Mostly she will not smile at the camera but I found that my saying "uuuuuup?" I would get a chuckle out of her. It's weird the things that will get a kid to smile.


She's 16 months and babbling a lot more then she was just a month ago. Not talking yet but she seems like she thinks she is.

I am now starting to notice new things where a month ago we hadn't really seen anything new for quite some time. She is now getting up on the couches and climbing off pretty well. Hiding under the coffee table, playing in the water dispenser on the front of the fridge; good thing ours locks. Spinning in circles, bringing things to us and then throwing them at us. And the latest is putting her DVD's BACK on the shelf. Yes, I said back. Not neatly, but she is trying to stack them on the shelf as opposed to leaving them all over the floor like she has been.

We have 3 different rooms that she has her toys in. It used to be-go to a room-play with toys-make mess-go to next room. Now it's go to a room-play with toys-make mess-and carry toys into other rooms. It didn't seem so bad before on picking the toys up. Now I spend more time sorting before getting them put away. I'm sure it's the same in other households, just new in ours.
