6 months passed, 6 months till a year!!

I cannot believe that we are already half way through the first year of having Mackenzie here in our lives!! It is absolutely crazy to think that in just a little under six months, we will be celebrating her first birthday. By then she is going to be super mobile and making mommy and daddy chase her everywhere she can go. Right now she is learning to crawl and it is the absolute, most amazing thing I get to witness. She gets up on all fours and rocks and then extends her legs behind her and tries to move forward. A face plant will happen and she will look up at me with a huge smile on her face, almost like she knows what is going on. "Mommy, are you worried? Soon this will be me going all over the room while you chase me."Every single day I am more and more amazed at how much she is growing and how beautiful she keeps getting. I tear up at the thought that my little girl one day wont be so little and will not need her mommy like she needs me now. I love when I walk into a room after not seeing her for a bit and she looks up at me and smiles and holds her arms out for me to come hold her close. I love how she says ma-ma-ma-ma while she is smiling up at me or chewing on her toys. Oh her toys, she cannot get enough of all of them and especially when it comes to getting them out of her toy box. She loves going and taking all her toys out and playing with the little box that holds them all. It is more entertaining then the doggy that sings songs to her. However, not as entertaining as the pieces of her play mat that come off and she must chew on.
We are now with 3 bottom teeth, with some more coming in. Boy oh boy do they hurt when she is biting you. When she does bite you, she looks up at you and smiles, how the heck can I be annoyed. That smile gets me every time. Man, I am in trouble. We had her six month pictures back In October and she did amazing and all she did was smile. They are absolutely melting and I cannot wait until her nine month photos and how she will do and look. Her hair is growing, she is growing and she keeps wowing us each and every day. All the restless sleeps and nights make every minute with her worth it and I would never change it for a single thing. She is our rock, heart and everything. We have to be the two luckiest people in the world to have such an amazing daughter like Mackenzie!!! I will do anything for that little girl. She had me at "congratulations, you're pregnant!!!"
