Where did who go?!

Wow, it has been a long time since I updated. The Kid is doing great, she is literally chasing us around the house. Next month is her first birthday. I have noticed as I get older time goes faster, everyone sorta knows that but, having a kid in your life puts an afterburner on time. She's growing up right before our eyes. I mean she still poops her pants and just babbles nonsense (I'm accused of this as well although totally unproven) so she's not that grown up. But, there are noticeable changes everyday. I'll shut up now and give you what you want. I'll try to do them in order so things are caught up.

This video was after we found her standing in her crib. Big shock! about two days later we found her on the floor outside the crib. Giant Shock!!

Went from laying around squirming baby to sitting up and crawling in a matter of days.

More too come.

Try draggin' her away.

So, last Saturday we took Mac to the nostalgia drags at Eagle Field. What a great event! Eagle Field is a WWII Air Corps training base in Dos Palos, Ca. For last Saturday they turned the old runway into a heads up drag strip, good times. Here are a couple of shots of Mac enjoying the event.

All is Clear on Mackenzies Front

So after a long week of crying...no, screaming, baby Mac is back to normal. I ended up taking the week off to help. I don't know how much help I was but, I tried. On Wednesday we went back to Stanford for the post op check. Doc says everything looks good and we agree. The glue is starting to wear off so we are getting a better idea as to what her scar will look like. Her lip is red and she will have her snot rocket launchers (stints) for another three to four weeks. The best part is her smile, we were worried that her smile wouldn't be as great but it is. I know your thinking but her lip was a mess how could we miss that? Well, when your kid finger paints on the wall with poo a small part of you is proud that they drew a recognizable picture, in other words, everything about our kid is great even some of the bad stuff. To the pictures. By the way she looks like a Hoo from Whoville, it's awesome.

Before and After

Four days after surgery and Mac is doing well. She has had some pain but not too bad. The biggest down side is she has reverted to infancy, she wants to be held constantly. I have nothing witty to input here, we are all tired and ready to get back to our routine. Here are some pics.

The after pic you can see she has stints in her nose to help shape it during healing. Also, you can see the glue they used to hold everything together. This is slowly dissolving away.

Before


After

Cloudy sky but the sun is shining.

We walked into the nicu this morning to a smiling face. Mac is getting back to normal already. The nurses have enjoyed having her here. They said she has been smiling and cooing all morning. So far we are on track for a 11am discharge. When we get home I'll take pics with the camera (somebody brought it with dead batteries) and post them up.

The drunk monkey

Still sleeping. She looks like a giant compared to the premee's here in the nicu. By the way, Mac is in the nicu because the surgical recovery rooms are full. She doesn't have any complications and we expect to go home in the morning.
