It's a Wonderful Life

A Father's Love

So I've been a complete slacker when it comes to blogging, but it is all in good reason....I'm just one week away from finishing my Masters, and I can not wait. It was tricky at times, especially the start of the spring semester falling oh so conveniently the week Kenzie was born. But now days from being done, I can enjoy the summer with my family and can focus on watching my little lady keep growing.

So lets rewind a few weeks to Father' Day. Again just like Mother's Day we choose to celebrate this silly holiday EVERYday. But when speaking about the dads in our lives, both Donny and I are lucky enough to have very hands-on, involved, and loving Dads, that have now seamlessly turned into fantastic Grandpas.

Our day was filled with slumber parties and baseball. We snuggled all morning, then headed to the bating cages. And just like every Sunday night, Don finished off the day with a baseball game.

Now I knew my husband would be a fantastic and wonderful Dad. I can't wait to look outside seeing him and Mackenzie playing softball in the backyard. I can't wait to see her running at him, arms wide open, when he gets home from work. But for now I'll gladly continue to love seeing her big ol' gummy smile when he comes home from work, and her mimicking him by blowing raspberries (ok she mostly spits), and I love when she hears his voice during a feeding, she looks all around for him, even if it means finishing her feeding with a sore neck.

I continue to fall in love with this amazing guy and Dad everyday!

Lookie Lookie who is 5 months old! I'm absolutely loving this age.

I love that Kenzie knows who her Mommy and Daddy are, and lets us know by her big ol' smile.

I love looking up from doing something, to see her smiling at me and thrashing around in her exercauser.

She laughs more and more at the silliest things...although when you try to repeat the sound or motion that once made her laugh and blow bubbles of joy, its no longer funny and she just stares at you in this blank stare as to say "What is the matter with you?"

I love how ticklish she is.

I love her skin tone and how she browns right up even with 50 SPF slathered all over, her.

I love when walking from room to room (we carry her, she's not THAT advanced) she immediately looks up, for her new favorite entertainment -- the ceiling fan.

I love laying in bed, watching cell phone videos of her, just because I miss her.

I love her silly smile where she clinches her lips together and puffs out her cheeks.

I just love her! I'm so crazy about this little girl and our perfect little family.
