Happy 1st Birthday, Macy Marie!

Today is Macy's 1st birthday!! For my own record.... Macy is now 100% walking, no more crawling for her! She has 6 teeth now, 4 on the top, 2 on the bottom. Her hair has curls in the bottom at times, but some days it's really straight. She can now clap and she says "hiiiii". She loves making us laugh, and she simply adores her daddy and brother (and mommy I must add!). This last year has gone by crazy fast and yet I'm very excited to see what the year ahead has in store for us :)

This morning, we gave her the gift we had for her... a baby doll. She, of course, loved it, and gave it hugs and kisses when Miguel got it out of the box for her. Other than that, we didn't do anything else for her big day. I had 3 other kids besides my own two, so we just kept them and Macy bug slept most of the day.

And the 1yr 'official' bday photo - HAHAHA that was interesting to say the least! It took several tries, but we finally settled on this funny one to be the one :)

Happy Birthday to my sweet sweet girl :) I love you!!

Day 365 - We Made It!

Today is Macy's 365th day of life :) It's hard to believe that my baby girl will be 1 year old tomorrow! Nothing exciting happened today, we just stayed in away from the heat...

Day 364 - Almost There!!

Well, tomorrow Macy will have been here for 365 days :) On her actual bday, Tuesday, it will be her 366th day of life. I'm so thrilled that I've been so blessed to have gotten to spend most of her 1st entire year of life right next to her, every single day, seeing her change and grow and learn. The girl is too cute.

Today we had to get our broken car back to our house, so we missed church. After the guys got it home (luckily Justin & Marcie stayed the night and he was here to help Miguel get it home), they took the kids swimming. After swimming, I went to some stores with Marcie and then we had dinner together before they all went home and I went to do the photo session that was cancelled on Friday due to the rain. Now I'm relaxing and editing photos and getting ready for the week.

It's been a fun weekend for sure and we are definitely blessed!!

Oh, and the pic of Andrew in the goggles - we were cracking up at how he looked in them! These goggles were some old pair from probably YEARS ago that he found and has discovered that he likes using at the pool. No matter that they are too small and squeeze together in the middle between his eyes! He doesn't care a bit. Even after we laughed and laughed at him. He just kept smiling, making us laugh even more. Hahaha

Day 363 - Macy's 1st Birthday Party!!

Today was Macy Marie's First Birthday party ever! We had lots of friends and family come by for ice cream sundaes, brownies & cake, and Macy wore her cute tutu and onesie that a family friend made for her. It went well, Macy was well-rested and in a decent mood (tired at times but still not cranky or fussy), and it was really nice to have everyone over and together again. We miss having people over and just to hang out with.

Bad event of the day - our little car died completely tonight, and we had to leave it in a parking lot in Grapevine. Not good news. But we had fun regardless and are all worn completely out from the busy day!

Day 362 - Running Around Getting Ready for The Party

Today we ran to get me a haircut and then came home for Macy to nap.... Andrew and I went out this evening for a photo session, but when we got to the location of the session, it started pouring rain, so it had to be cancelled and we ran to Walmart to get the rest of the items we needed for the party tomorrow. It's been a super busy day of cleaning, preparing, and getting items ready for the big day. Excited to have family and friends come over tomorrow to help us celebrate our almost one-year old baby girl! :)

Day 361 - Last Day of Camp & First Bday Presents!

Well, to start off, I'm posting a few pics from yesterday that I forgot to post.... but I couldn't NOT post them, because there is one of Macy showing how she throws a fit :) Face & hands on the floor, bent over, and whining. She's such a mess. And this was after church and she was very tired and cranky. haha

The other pics are horribly quality, but oh well! One is of Macy (and Andrew) opening her first bday gift from Gina - she got a book, some PJ's, and an outfit for the fall. So fun and exciting that it's almost her birthday!

Day 360 - Waterparks & Friends

Today we went to the nearby waterpark with some friends and their kiddos. We had free tickets and brought our lunches, so it made for a fun and free day. Andrew woke up excited, and you can just see the joy all over his little face :) Macy, well, she had fun eating. She played hard, and then napped in the stroller, and then ate and ate and ate. It was a nice day out. Church tonight for camp, again, and Macy was a pro in childcare - woohoo!
