This was the day I brought her home. She was a GREAT baby! She was a good eater and she slept well and rarely cried. See her bottom lip in this picture, how it is puckered out, she still does that when she sleeps.
The day she was blessed ...Makenzie Hope Brand...notice that puckered bottom lip again.
She was born with a plugged tear duct. This is not uncommon, you just have to keep it washed and clean and eventually it opens up. Whenever she woke up from a nap or in the morning her eye would be caked shut. She of course got the nickname Popeye for at least six months.
This was a wig we found at the in-laws and of course because the baby was defenseless we had to put it on her. Really isn't a parents job to humiliate their children...next picture is proof ...
HUMILIATION!
One thing my girls do have is BEAUTIFUL eye's, they got their daddy's eye's.
One years old in this picture. She was just starting to walk and the evidence in that is the bruised up nose. She fell into a stone fireplace just a few days previous to taking this picture.
She knows where that unconditional love is. She loves all the grandparents and attracts to them like bears to honey. She knows where she will get all that attention and love that she demands..and oh boy does she love this grandpa, she has him wrapped around her finger.
These last four years have flown by and Makenzie is a force to be reckoned with. As I was writing this blog she managed to get in to trouble several times and as of this minute she is sitting in her room in time out. She has ended her three's by perfecting the "Temper Tantrum". She is screaming at the top of her lungs and kicking the floor in her room. She is yelling at the top of her lungs, "I don't love her, and she needs to get out of her room and she needs her blanket." I think she is going to be an actress, a pain in the ass diva actress! She is the humor and pure entertainment that drives this house. Hang on world because Makenzie is going to be out there someday and she is not coming quietly......
