Mackenzie has been learning to use a pacifier these days but keeping it in the mouth isn't always the easiest...we delayed introducing one to her for a while since we didn't want her getting confused. Plus she was so quiet and easy going all the time that she never...
A visit to American soil…almost
We went to the American embassy today to get Mackenzie all registered as a US citizen. I filled out the numerous pages of paperwork while still in the hospital (I'd printed everything beforehand since I knew I'd have plenty of time and quiet for that sort of thing)...
The most stylish little girl around
Finishing up with the gifts for now (although I do have two more to do), I also wanted to give a special thanks to Stefan's parents who also brought us some adorable things from the US. You see, all this stuff has been piling up around here for the last few months...
Thanks to all our friends & family!
In keeping with the theme of gifts we've received so far...here are more of the goodies Mackenzie has managed to score in the last few months. We are so thankful to everyone who has sent us gifts and cards. You're all so good to us! 🙂 Our friends Daniel & Henni...
Thank heavens for little girls
My very dear friend Katie sent a "getting ready for Mackenzie" package a few weeks ago which set us up with clothes in a VERY big way. Lucky for us Katie has a daughter named Allie who is about 15 months older than Mack...and she also has very good taste in clothing....
Juggling with the monkey
Something every woman knows how to do is multitask. It's just a skill that we seem to have from birth. But learning to integrate a newborn into the mix of life takes some extra special juggling skills. Women who have twins or more than one child in general - hats off...
She’s officially German
Yesterday, Stefan went and faced the folks at the Standesamt so Mackenzie is now officially a German citizen. We'll be getting about 10 copies of birth certificates in the mail, all slightly different for the various offices where we need to register her (insurance,...
That’s a fine looking burrito
I was reading a newsletter from parents.com this morning and saw a link to an article about swaddling. From what I've heard, some babies really love it so after reading how simple it is, we decided to give it a go. Well, Stefan did really. And as it would turn out,...
The first Christmas market
Sunday we took our first outings with our Baby Trends Expedition LX jogging stroller. In the morning, we bundled Mackenzie up in her Eskimo outfit and went out to walk the dog. It was a bit of a bumpy ride, especially on the unpaved paths, and Stefan is already...
Running errands with the Mack
Well, Mackenzie has been home with us for 2.5 days now and we're slowly starting to get the hang of things. We actually took her out for a short shopping excursion on Saturday which went really well. The first stop was to get a replacement baby monitor since the one I...
