Briley really got into the present opening.
After the party Mackenzie decided to take it easy with Papa. This morning we began the day by waking Papa up with all of the babies and singing "Happy Birthday". Mackenzie made some noises mimicking our sounds. She is really picking up a lot words lately. This morning I pointed to Papa and asked her to say, "Papa". With no hesitation, she said, "Pa-pa". Other than Mama and Dada, she hasn't been clear with any of her other words. This was perfect. His face lit up and all of our hearts melted. Throughout the day whenever asked who he was, she would point and say, "Papa". Talk about the best birthday present ever.
Overall, she really hasn't let anyone pick her up. She has been clingy to me, but does wander off to play with the babies. However, no other adults have been able to pick her up without her putting up a little fight. Papa is the ONLY adult she has gone to without hesitation. She will sit in his lap and listen to him whistle or sing. She is his "little lady".
We invited the family over to celebrate his birthday. In the morning, we noticed he was being a little withdrawn and were worried that he wouldn't do well with so many people in the house. As people arrived, he was involved in conversation and didn't seem overwhelmed at all. What a blessing!!! He enjoyed the celebration and everyone's company. I am so glad I am here to be apart of this celebration.
