6 months

Today we had Mac's last appointment in California with Dr. Karli Cleary. We will certainly miss her and my OBGYN Dr. Powar. We were so fortunate to find both of them on such short notice and hope to find just as great Doctors in Charlotte. To celebrate turning 6 months - we introduced his second solid : peas. He was totally into them as well....just like his momma, boy loves to eat.

Here is where Mac and I have our weekly walks - recently active Mountain Lion signs were posted. There have always been coyote warnings - I would use this as an incentive to walk faster and burn more calories. Beste (my mom) threw a fit when she realized I was taking her grandson into live mountain lion terrain. I assured her that it was perfectly safe (and normal) and that I carried pepper spray just in case....until we ran into a rattle snake on our last walk. We now no longer visit the Dish.

While walking to our neighborhood park one afternoon I was so delighted to find it over run with goats. California - you are so cool. Instead of simply mowing the grass for fire prevention.....Palo Alto prefers to use goats. Maybe this is normal, just something I never saw growing up in Florida. Seems excessive.

McKinnon's personality is really coming out making every day fun. He loves to fake cough and squeal to bring the attention back to little number one. He is completely obsessed with Layla (our dog) - if he gets upset, I immediately look for Layla and throw her a treat and he starts laughing again watching her eat. He loves to be held high in the air and have rasberries blown into his stomach. He has also started rolling. Yesterday he rolled over to the couch and enjoyed kicking it. He also scooted backwards for the first time. We can't wait to bring him home and show you all our little, active precious :) (12 more days....but who is counting)
