Now the torture of being a long awaited daughter, granddaughter, niece, and cousin begins.  Aunt Karen bought Mackenzie her first pair of sunglasses-we will use in Cancun!

Dad and Mackenzie in the pool at Steamboat Springs.  Mackenzie is turning out to be a real fish—she loves the water.

Mackenzie looks like she had a fight with the Band-Aids!  Today was our first trip to the Dr.  I think I cried more than Mackenzie did.

We love cereal and playing around in our walker-finally some mobility.  However, we have been warned not to keep her in the walker for long periods of time.  This isn’t hard since we love to hold Mackenzie.

Dinnertime is fun now that Mackenzie has joined our table.  We are trying to teach her to feed herself-not a simple task.

Our first pair of cowboy boots-a bit on the big side.
