Babytoej

Babytoej means baby clothes in Danish. I learned that baby in Danish is baby, so much for that idea. So Jesper suggested I use babytoej. The reason for my culture lesson? The pink dress Makenzie is wearing in this picture came ALL the way from Denmark and Jesper's mom. I LOVE the clothes Makenzie has received from her and Sarah! They are different; so much more exciting than the same ol' stuff you see here. Makenzie's also rockin' the rumba tights, I just didn't get a picture of them. She will wear ruffles on her bottom for as long as she can get away with it!



Here's Makenzie in a onesie from her Granddad (my dad). It reads, "I only cry when Democrats hold me". It's a little big but I wanted to make sure she wears it a few times before the election. I noticed on these pictures that Makenzie's hair is the same color as the couch.



My friend Karen, whose baby is about a month older than Makenzie, had a post on her blog with Scarlett's baby horoscope. I'm copying her and posting Makenzie's because I find it interesting that it's pretty accurate!

Eager to get going (this baby probably kicked up a storm in the womb!), the Gemini baby is likely to be talking early and making a mark from day one. Curious and quite the explorer, this tot is one who needs lots of stimuli in order to be happy, as they are easily bored. Since those communication skills are top-notch, the smart thing to do with this baby is bring them into a play group as soon as possible. At home, siblings could easily fill this function, as someone must! It's never too early for the Gemini baby to interact with others, and they will also learn their lessons early on. The Gemini tot is definitely not clingy. Quite the contrary, this is one baby who is happy to march to their own drummer, gallivanting about and being amused in the process. Surprisingly, when this baby is not engaged (chatting or playing with others), there could be a certain emotional detachment. For that reason, it's best to keep things uncomplicated and easy for them to understand, the better to maintain harmony. To sum up, the Gemini baby is the Great Communicator of the play group, has a short attention span (so keep 'em busy!), and is one clever and creative tot.
