My Mack-nugget

Mack is fast approaching the 15 month mark, which is the same age Kale was when we became pregnato with this little firecracker. And, I can see why people get the urge to do it all over again when they hit this age, just like we did. I said I can see why. I, on the other hand, am not willing to go forth with that plan this time. Why? Well, Mack was a demanding baby and continues to be a demanding toddler. But, these last couple of weeks, he has been such the charmer. OMG! So funny, cuddly, loving, playful and all around happy, happy, happy.


I don't want to say things started to turn around when Kale went to school those 4 days. But, we noticed he became a little more flexible and tolerant. We always felt his demanding nature was in relation to him being a little insecure. Since he was #2, he didn't get all the attention nor was he waited on every minute of the day. He had to take a backseat quite a bit and being a child made up of our personalities...that just wasn't acceptable for him. At best, I suppose Mack was just misunderstood. But, hey, we asked for it. We did in fact give him the initials MAD...so he's just fulfilling his destiny.

Mack has become a wonderful little boy with a contagious smile and unwavering determination. He lights up every room he walks into and strangers are just drawn to him to say "hi", ask how old he is or gush over how gosh darn cute he is. It's like walking around with a little celebrity. God has really blessed us with two beautiful boys, each with their own distinct personality.
