March 2006 - First Snow!!

Yes, Mack's first snow. In El Dorado Hills no less.

Of course, mom and dad have just been itching to dress Mackenzie in the cute little pink polar bear outfit. The opportunity finally presented itself.

As you can see, Mackenzie was thrilled. Thanks mom and dad.

March 2006 - And the Academy Award for Best Actress Goes to...

Mackenzie "Munchy" Welch for Brokeback Baby!!

A controversial and groundbreaking performance, Mackenzie , in the role of Munchy the bald baby cowgirl - gave a fearless and daring performance.

At first uncomfortable with the idea of partial nudity, her contract stipulated a body double for her "knee-rolls".
But, in a bold move, Mackenzie decided that to do the part justice she had to bare it all.

Famous line from the movie: "I can't quit (slobbering on) you!"

February 2006 - Goo Goo Over Grandparents - Cont.

Some more irresistable pics from the grandparents trips.

February 2006 - Goo Goo Over Grandparents

In February, 2 set's of grandparents braved traffic, airport security, and a 70lbs golden retriever...all to be slobbered on. Mackenzie can produce a spit-shake (frothy saliva bubbles all over her mouth) in a matter of seconds.

There seems to be no end to the slobber. I think she may have been born with a few extra saliva glands. She might have to stick to guitar as her instrument of choice - I think she is gonna waterlog a woodwind pretty quick.

She has very strong legs now and can stand up for several minutes if you just don't let her fall over. She loves to smile at you when standing.

She also has a new chair that let's her sit up. I think she thinks it's either a horse or one of the tea cups at Disneyland because she always to steer the little seat.

She also made her first trip to the beach w/ the Pikes. She dug it.

February 2006 - WARNING: KEEP HANDS CLEAR

Every night, on Emmet's drive home from work, momma puts the phone up so Mack can say hi. And every night, Mack attempts to eat the phone. In fact, Mack eats anything within reach now, which is usually her own hand.

She started teething early and so has been wanting to chew on everthing. Also accompanied by excessive slobbering. No teeth yet.

She is really grabbing at everthing now as well. Especially her feet. She's really good at putting her hand into the trail mix and handing daddy some nuts.
