At Fourteen months Mackenzie:

-weighs 25lb 6oz and is 32″ tall

- nods her head yes in an exaggerated, smile on her face nod. She also does a few signs (please, more, all finished) but not necessarily at the right time- so Im not sure where we are on that.

-Says “nee nee” (Ling Ling her monkey companion), “Beee” (baby), “BAH!” (bath), “Da!” (but not always at the right time), “wooohohoh” (dog-that is both the word and the sound they make), she knows the sounds for dogs, tigers, bunnies, elephants and fish.

- Despite the bold statement I went ahead and made on Facebook, I jinxed myself and she is in fact not walking. We’re back to crawling. Crawling is where its at.

-She likes playing with whatever her brother is into. She loves digging in the crayons, taking airplanes, playing with pretend food, she even likes to pick up a napkin and pretend she’s wiping things off.

-She’s fiesty. She’s much more strong willed than her brother….there’s arching…and tears….and red faces….and punches being thrown and scratching faces. She’d do well in a cat fight.

-She’s a total stinker in the car. She whines and cries and fusses anytime we get in the car. It sort of makes me want to just drive my car into a pole after listening to it for 20 minutes.

-She’s like a lost little puppy around dinner time pulling on my pant leg begging to be picked up. Girl likes to be held.

-She loves to play outside and push her little bike around. She squeals at all the big kids and loves watching all the action. She loves chalk…both the consumption of as well as ‘drawing’ with it on the sidewalk.

-Being the lone parent to her and her brother right now is slowly sucking out my will to survive. Which is why you aren’t hearing from me much these days.
