Mackenzie's 2-year pediatrician appointment

Today we took Mackenzie for her 2-year check-up at Dr. Rappo's office. She's doing great, weighing 24 pounds 4 ounces and measuring 34 1/2 inches tall (4 ounces heavier & 1 1/2 inches taller than Katie at the same age) ! Dr. Rappo is pleased with her progress. She had blood drawn to check her iron and lead levels, and got a flu shot (big sister got one, too, and did really well, such a big girl!).

We discussed Kenzie's delayed speech, and Dr. Rappo agreed that she should get a "speech, language, and hearing assessment" for speech delays. I've already called the school and left a message, hopefully will hear back and get the ball rolling on that tomorrow. We'll keep everyone updated :)

A side note ... today was the 1-year anniversary of my Dad's passing. We stopped at the cemetary on the way home from the doctor's office. Katie & Kenzie were eating lollipops and watching a video, but Katie looked out the window and said, "Hey, this is where Grampa lives! I love you, Grampa!" then proceeded to blow him a kiss and said, "I blew him a kiss up to the sky so he'd get it! I miss Grampa." Awwww, how sweet is that?

Mackenzie is TWO!!

Hard to believe, but Mackenzie Louise has turned TWO! Seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital :) We had a party for her on the 6th and she had so much fun ... she's finally figured out opening presents, and loves ripping the paper!








Mackenzie is loving little Eva Marie, here she is keeping Eva occupied during her "tummy time!"
















This last shot is Mackenzie playing on the back deck, it's her favorite spot to be! Her play food and pots & pans are her favorite toys and she would stay outside and play tea party forever if we let her :)
