Making Memories...

This past Saturday was a whole bunch of firsts for McKenzie. We got to meet the newest member of the family - sweet baby Olivia. Matt's cousin Cassandra and her husband Chris are Olivia's very proud parents. We are looking forward to our gang of girls growing up together - first there's McKenzie then a year later cousin Claire and then just a few short months later Olivia. When she first saw Olivia, McKenzie put out her arms and made some grunting noises that clearly indicated to me "Give me that baby." She didn't get to hold Miss Olivia but McKenzie did get to give her some loves which was too cute. We'll wait until Olivia has seen a little more of the world before we let McKenzie loose with her.



After meeting Olivia we hurried off to a wedding for one of Matt's co-workers that was also in Seattle. It was a really pretty wedding and McKenzie did really good during the ceremony and only yelled out once in reply to another baby. There were lots of babies in attendance so it was a lively wedding. After that we went to the reception where McKenzie went a little wild - not in a meltdown state but just overwhelming excitement at being around so many people. She was smiling and dancing and jumping all over. We lasted there about an hour and then we realized that we were not getting fed more that appetizers anytime soon so we headed out to grab some dinner on our own.

Here's Matt and McKenzie all dressed up waiting for the wedding to begin. McKenzie loves phone or anything that might be a phone. She loves to put them to her head and rock it back and forth babbling. Sometimes she gets out a really clear 'Hi'.
