Granthamania: July 2013
http://www.granthamania.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 26, 2013. Having a new baby is exciting and nothing can top that, but we do have news that comes awfully close. But first, I have iPhone picture to share. We baked in honor of our big surprise. Chocolate Chip Cookies from scratch. She loves it. If only I could convince her to stop playing on the steps of the pool while the teachers are talking. Three year olds just don't have the same priorities as adults. She loves making silly faces for the camera. Kenzie and I waiting on Chloe. I can't be...

Granthamania: October 2013
http://www.granthamania.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 11, 2013. Mackenzie - 4 Months. It's October 11, 2013 and you are 4 months old today! 4 months seems too old. In some ways, I'm glad you're getting older because you can play and interact with us more. But, I want you to stay little and squishy and cuddly. Pretty soon, you'll be on the move and I won't be able to hold you like I do now. Pumpkin patch - horse ride. We've gotten a few giggles from you, but no big belly laughs yet. Chloe asked to hold you. Morning walk.looking up at mom.

Sunday, August 11, 2013. Mackenzie - 2 Months. It's August 11, 2013 and you are two months old today! You are sleeping 7-9 hours at night. You go to bed around 8pm. and wake up around 5am. You are putting yourself to sleep most nights. You lay in bed quietly and kick until you fall sleep. We have a rough night occasionally. You are smiling now. It takes some work, but you'll do it. You are also cooing more now. I love your little voice and I'm pretty sure we are getting the start of a giggle. I think her...

Wednesday, December 11, 2013. Mackenzie - 6 months. It's December 11, 2013 and you six months old today! I can hardly believe it's been six short months since you casually and quickly came into our world. You are a joy! You are back to sleeping through the night. 6:30 to 6:30 is a good bet. You nap like a champ! What can I say? You love your sleep! And only on your tummy. You are a perfect compliment to our family and exactly what we needed to balance out the mania! We love you, Mackenzie Jewel! Life at ...

Granthamania: May 2014

Sunday, May 11, 2014. Mackenzie - 11 Months. It's May 11, 2014 (Mother's Day) and you are 11 months old today. Your personality grows with every milestone you hit. You really came out of your shell when you started crawling and pulling up on things. You have stood up a few times without hands. I think you are a few months away from walking. Chloe showed you how to play the piano. We took you to the church nursery a few weeks ago and you were hyperventilating from being so upset. You really are quite ...

Granthamania: June 2013
http://www.granthamania.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Mackenzie Jewel has made her appearance. She decided to arrive on her own 5 days before her due date. She took us by surprise to say the least. June 11, 2013. The part that was the worst was having to wait for the little bit of epi to wear off. It didn't start taking effect until well after Mackenzie made her appearance, but I got enough 'juice' to make me rubber legged for a bit. Chloe is in love with her new sister. She tells me all the time how cute Mackenzie is. She ta...Josh,...

Monday, November 11, 2013. Mackenzie - 5 months. It's November 11, 2013 and you are 5 months old. MJ doesn't seem to thrilled that Chloe jumped into her photo shoot. You are starting to engage with us more. We are getting lots of smiles and one or two chuckles. You babble a lot.mostly squeals. You will imitate us if we squeal first. I think I see a tooth coming through your gums. I guess we'll see in a few weeks. Sleeping at El Arroyo. Going to a baby shower for Renee and Stu. We love you, Mackenzie!

Granthamania: Granthamania Eurotrip 2014 - Part 3 - Amsterdam, Netherlands
http://www.granthamania.com/2014/02/granthamania-eurotrip-2014-part-3.html
Monday, February 10, 2014. Granthamania Eurotrip 2014 - Part 3 - Amsterdam, Netherlands. Train ride from Paris to Amsterdam. Below is our hotel room in Amsterdam. We stayed at the Luxor. It was two streets away from the red light district and it was great. We did have a mix up and paid for an extra night because they had another guest with our same last name. But, they realized the mistake and put us in a larger room and removed the charge. By far the nicest hotel we stayed at. They said most of the peop...

Friday, April 11, 2014. Mackenzie - 10 Months. Today is April 11, 2014 and you are 10 months old! You started pulling up to stand yesterday. I think you are a little late, but once you started pulling up you were a pro.like most things you do. Using everything you can to pull up. You are eating two and sometimes three solids meals a day. You are drinking out of your sippy cup like a pro. I need to start switching your formula to the sippy cup with your meals. My Texas girls in the bluebonnets. Links to t...

Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Mackenzie - 3 Months. It's September 11, 2013 and you are 3 months old today! You were exactly 13 weeks yesterday. The middle photo is MJ watching Chloe jump on the couch out of the corner of her eye.she always watches Chloe. All hell breaks loose in our house. Honestly, when you have gas is the only time you are unpleasant. You are the most even-tempered, mild-mannered and quiet baby. You are a quiet observer. She likes the Bumbo! You like naps and willingly take them if y...
