Mckenzee was born August 29, 2006 at 2:00pm. She was delivered via c-section and weighed 6 lbs. 5 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long (sadly her head was extended so we don't know her actual length). A short version of her birth story: My water broke by high leak at 10:00am on Monday August 28th. Contractions started at 3:00pm. After going to the hospital for the third time that day I convinced them that I was yes, for sure, actually, in labor and I got to stay. After 13 hours of contractions I got an epidural. I had wanted to go without, but couldn't take it any longer. After 9 more hours the doctor decided she was stuck and wasn't coming out and they took me back for a c-section. It was long and they finally got her out...I'll spare you the details. She was just fine, aside from her sad looking head, and we had our baby girl. She was screaming and they wrapped her up and gave her to Chris and he brought her over to me. I sang to her and she calmed down. That was the sweetest thing because I knew she knew me. Now, here we are 2 years later with our big girl and she is so much fun and so dramatic and so beautiful. Below are pictures of her birthday day with just Momma and Daddy (who stayed home all day).
Good Morning Birthday Girl!
She got to start the day with one of her favorite activities...playing naked in the water hose!
Then, when it was time to get dressed for lunch at her favorite place she showed off her fit throwing ability for 30 minutes! She stretched out the first shirt we put on her so much she couldn't wear it. Finally, she calmed down and we took her in her shorts only and were able to get her shirt and shoes on when we got there. 
She had a great time eating her favorite food..."chichen" at Chick-fil-a.
After refusing a nap she had a bath.
..and had her dinner served tub-side
Then, it was time for her fancy hair do and she got to help with the mousse.
...which she decided should go on her legs.
Here she is ready to go and waiting for Daddy to finish loading the car to take her to her party.

I see your baby bump in the picture with you doing Mckenzee's hair...YAY!!
That was a funny rundown of the day! My favorite was that she got her dinner served to her tub side.
I love the water hose picture and her Farrah Fawcett hair. Happy Birthday Kenzee! Now, stop growing right now!
