Early in the week she met Dayton, who wasn't quite sure what to make of Mackenzie. I can't say I blame him--she slept through the visit and didn't provide much to the conversation. He warmed up to her when he discovered all the buttons on her car seat.
Later in the week, Mackenzie had a visit from her cousins, Anneliese, Eli, and Jack, and her Aunt Braden and Aunt Alison.
Being a newborn, Mackenzie can't interact a whole lot, yet, so I was curious how the cousins would react to her. Turns out that Mackenzie won them over pretty easily, and she was the source of many questions.
Anneliese, "You are feeding her again? How many times does she eat a day?"
Me, "Well, babies have to eat a lot to grow. So she eats 10 or 12 times a day."
Anneliese, "Wow. That's a lot of work. Who is better at taking care of Mackenzie, you or Uncle Josh?"
Side note: Thank you, Anneliese, for acknowledging how much work breastfeeding is. And I answered the latter question as diplomatically as possible.
Jack brought Mackenzie a gift near and dear to his heart: her very own toy car. He also wanted to know if she liked fast cars...or slow cars...or planes...or helicopters...or trucks...or dump trucks.
And Eli was the master of helping Mackenzie swing in her swing. He made sure that the music was always playing, and the mobile always moving.
Mackenzie had a wonderful time...thank you to everyone for the visits!
