License to drive

Mac says he is ready to drive to work. 

So he can eat candy. 

Because when he came to my office on Halloween everyone gave him candy!

Bath time

Mac is such a big boy. Now he happily uses the potty before his bath every night!

Hooray for Mac!

Snip snip

Mac is still working on his scissor skills. He wanted to cut up a piece of paper (and like a bad mom I walked out of the room while he was snipping... In my defense they are really dull kid scissors.)

When I walked back in he'd already gone for the broom and dust pan to clean up his home made confetti!

He now has a way to combine his two favorite hobbies -- using scissors and using a broom!

Good job Mac!

Thomas

Mac is on a first name basis with his barber Thomas. Perhaps because he shares a moniker with Thomas the Train. 

In any event, this weekend he decided he wanted to cut his baby's hair, just like Thomas cuts his hair!

Just checking his work with Champ!

Blue Steel

Mac had a patented look that we call "blue steel" or just "the Mackie look". 

But he can also turn on a happy look on command. 

Trademark!

Morning

Who can sleep when there's coffee brewing and TV to be watched? #5am 

Mac gave up milk last Christmas but he's back to drinking his morning "cup of coffee" (milk with a dash of cocoa and pinch of sugar)

This morning we are both going for a second cup!

No complaints! Favorite time of day!

Playing Catch-up

I'm so overdue to post that I'm hoping to catch up and post some of the sweet moments of this summer!

These are from the last days of June and early days of July:

I take a lot of morning photos of Mac and me on the sofa...sometimes eating breakfast...

...sometimes having our coffee...

...sometimes making silly faces...

And sometimes being just his happy, can't-sit-still self!
