Week 28 and Mackie's Birthday Part 1

It's a big week...

It's week 28, the beginning of the third trimester, and it's Mackenzie's Birthday...oh...and you won't believe this one, but I found my first ever gray hair! Is it possible that McKenna is already giving me gray hair?! yikes!

We had a really nice time at our weekly family dinner. We celebrated part one of Mackenzie's birthday, part two will be on her actual birthday on Thursday. How is it that she gets two birthday celebrations???

She's the baby of the family - 'nuf said! :)

Actually, the real reason she gets two celebrations is because my dad will be out of town on Thursday to celebrate on her actual birthday. But, let's just say that Mackenzie is loving the idea of a birthday week - but I guess who wouldn't?!

So, the baby of the Milazzo family is already 23 years old...unbelieveable! Our little Pugga, Puggie, Chunky Monkey, Kenzie, Kenz, MackAttack, Mackadoodle, Mackie, Goobs....the little girl with the most names in the family....is already 23....

...and she doesn't have an ounce of attitude....nope!

Along with sausage, green peppers, and onions, we had the most delicious salad, and of course...

Funfetti cupcakes!
as a kid, Mackenzie loved the candy part of the Funfetti frosting...so much in fact that it would often be eaten before my mom could even make the cupcakes! this year, I was able to get the sprinkles and Nerds on the cupcakes before Mackenzie could get at them...it's nice to see that at 23 she can finally restrain herself! :)

Mom got Mackie a Beer Pong table! Party at Mack's house!

Kristen and her new Elliptical! She put it together all by herself! You Go Girl!

...here they come...
you know what happens when Mackenzie gets ahold of my camera....

she's just missing her partner in crime...imagine Lizzie next to her!

...looking tired...



Week 28 - third and final trimester!
By this week, McKenna weighs two and a quarter pounds and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

Only 12 weeks to go!
