Let them be little, they say…
but how is that possible, I ask… when they keep growing, growing, growing!
……………………………
I’m behind with the updates (again), but my babes keep growing.
In October, my girl turned three!
Makenzie Ruth – I could squeeze her all day!
:: In just one year she became a dancer, a non-stop talker and a big sister. Here are some little things about her I hope I never forget ::
Favorite color: Purple
Favorite food: Pasta, pizza & candy
Favorite book: Pigs in Hiding (which was mine when I was a kid) and Carl’s Birthday (she pretends she is the little girl in it)
Favorite Things to do: Color, play hide & seek, visit the neighbors & play with her dress-up clothes.
Famous Quotes: “Mommy, I wanna hold your hand… forever!” Talk about melt your heart moments.
“Ohh yeah, that’s a great idea!” when you suggest pretty much anything fun to her 🙂
Nana: “I love you to pieces, Makenzie.” Kenz: “But Nana, I’m not a puzzle!”
Favorite toys: Hungry Hungry hippo, puzzles and Tubes (aka Youtube when she is allowed to play with our phones)
Favorite movies: Mary Poppins & Annie
When she grows up: She said she wants to be a doctor, just like Doc McStuffins
Best friends: Mitchell! And Kenz definitely thinks that she is one of the big girls and her other best friends are the Signal Drive girls. They are just so sweet to her!
Kenz and ‘Liva’! I love these two.
Party time: We had a fun little party for her at her dance studio (DanSations Rocks!). It was a great time and a perfect reason to give tutus to all!
Make a Wish Makenzie Ruth!
Me on my 3rd Birthday in the mid 80’s! (Thanks to my mom for bringing this to the celebration)
She thought it was funny to see me this young.
Family photo fun
Group hug!
Listening to the awesome Miss Liza
Love my tiny tapper. 🙂
What this year will bring: On the night Kenz turned three we asked her what she wanted to do this year. You’re never too young to make a strategic plan! She was very thoughtful and her list included… eat popcorn at night, ride a train, fly in a plane, help Mitchell to walk & teach him tricks (aka somersaults), meet Ariel & turn into a mermaid, poop on the potty (let’s hope this happens before she’s 30), and count to 100, just to name a few.
“This one Mommy!”
We’re a month in and we’ve already achieved some of these, score!
Makenzie is definitely a first born. She is confident, independent and she loves to be silly & have fun. She is incredibly maternal to Mitchell and she is so full of love. She is a rule follower, a thoughtful little soul & the sweetest little girl we could have ever imagined.
We can’t wait to see what this year brings!
……………………………
And our Littlest M is now 9 Months and getting very close to 10 Months!
He is a busy & adorable little boy.
Favorite things to do: Crawling, climbing, clapping (his newest trick!), saying Dada, and playing with Kenz.
Medical update: We finally have clarity. We know the involuntary breath holding will continue for potentially 7 more years, but we also know the stomach challenges are related to reflux. Our pediatrician has been incredible and we will (hopefully) not have to go through any more tests.
Foods: He finally enjoys eating. His favorite foods are oatmeal and puffs.
Drummer boy.

A blur! This boy is soooo busy! This sums up his activity level.
Mr. Giggles. 🙂
And more activity & giggles.
……………………………………………….
M&M sure make our lives complete. They make life crazy, exhausting & more fun that we could ever imagine.
So true, about them growing up. I miss those day. They are such a blessing.
