Day 217 - Mimi & Papa & The Rest of the Family

This morning we headed to Lindale to celebrate my mom's, my brother-in-law's, my two nieces, and my nephew's birthdays. We had lunch at mom & dad's and then had cake and the kiddos broke open a pinata outside. It was such a pretty day outside, so we got lots and lots of pics, of course :) (And what icing? I see no icing from a birthday cake all over my girl's face!)

Day 216 - A Day at Buela's

We drove to Longview to see Buela & Papa Bill today.... had a good day, trip, and evening playing with the girl. Tomorrow we head to Lindale to see Mimi & Papa. Macy gets all kinds of lovin' on this weekend! :)

Day 215 - Almost Forgotten!

Macy & I helped in the childcare class during MOPS at our church this morning. After that, we came home and had quite the low-key afternoon. She went to bed early, and it was only then that I realized that I hadn't gotten a picture of her yet today! So Andrew and I got the flash ready on my camera, snuck into her dark room, and snapped this pic of our princess almost, but not fully, asleep. She didn't even mind the bright flash, and went to sleep after we left her room again. :) Tomorrow we're off to see grandparents!

Day 214 - Happy Birthday, Mimi!

Today was my mom's (Mimi's) birthday, and even though Macy can't talk yet, she was sending Mimi happy birthday wishes all day long in her heart :)

This morning the girl and I got out to Sam Moon & Hobby Lobby to get more supplies for some flower headbands that someone ordered. She must not be one for crafts, because she snoozed (SNORING too!) through the whole store! Gotta train her better, I suppose :) From there, we drove to McDonald's where we met up with Sarah, Laney bug & baby Sloan. They had lunch, I had a soda, and Macy just entertained us all, while Laney played and Sloan relaxed in her carseat. It was good catching up with Sarah, and we're sad that they'll be gone all next week for Spring Break :( Macy will miss her friend! (and I'll miss mine, and Andrew will miss his!) After McD's, we ran over to The Children's Place, and then back home for naptime. Macy bug must have had way too much fun (obviously not at Hobby Lobby though!), because I put her down to sleep at around 1-ish, and she slept until about 4:00. Crazy girl!

After bathtime, she had oranges & squash for dinner, along with a bottle, then headed to bed. Can't wait for tomorrow and the weekend - going to be visiting lots of family, and we're REALLY excited to show them all that Macy's doing now! :)

Until tomorrow....

Day 213 - 7 Months Old Already?!

My baby girl is 7 months old today. Boy, time has sure flown by! She's crawling, laughing, eating fruits and veggies, wiggling out of our arms when we try to hold her, and just today, she pulled herself up into a standing position against a little table in our room! As my sister Marcie said, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Her 7 month pic was fun to take. Last month she was after the paper, this month, she was wanting that again, but we put the bear in the way, and so she was all over it instead. :)

Happy 7 months, Macy Marie! We love you!

Day 212 - Playdates and Pulling Up

As I went into Macy's room today to get her from her nap, I noticed that she was standing in her crib, holding onto the railing of the bed. I couldn't believe my eyes!!

We went into Arlington this morning to meet up with my sister Amy and her family who were visiting my BIL's sister and her little baby girl. Sarayu & Macy had a really fun time playing (chewing toys!) together.

Then we had a photo session at the park, so Andrew and Macy were able to play while the oldest daughter of the family I was doing pics for, watched them. It was nice to get out in the sunshine :)

Tonight was Andrew's open house at school.... that was lots of fun. It's amazing to see him reading when at the beginning of the year he was not even interested in it at all.

It's a good week and I'm already wiped out! :)

Day 211 - A Day of Playing

Today Macy and I played and played. She has now started crawling instead of scooting, so my day was filled with chasing her around to make sure she wasn't going somewhere she shouldn't be :) Cameron may not be around anymore, but she's making sure my workload doesn't get smaller!

She must also be going through a growth spurt, because it seemed all she wanted to do when she wasn't playing, was eat and sleep! I guess that's just the typical day of a baby, though. But for dinner, she had a jar of carrots, half a jar of sweet peas, and then a full bottle. She then passed out at 730pm - the earliest she's ever gone to bed for the night. I'm liking that schedule! haha
