LOTS of pics!!

Waiting at the bus stop (cell phone pic)


Bad quality (cell phone pic) but she kept trying to put my glasses on, so...

She's not too sure about sleeves :)

Wanting to take the hat OFF! :)

This is her new "silly face"... and it's SO sweet that she was sitting with Andrew...

Crazy boy :)




She was laying back on the pumpkin :)


She and my friends daughter were giving each other high-fives hahaha

She loved the little dwarfs, they were just her size!

She chose to sit at the bottom of the hay bales in the hay ride, almost falling asleep...

So we've taken a lot of pics lately, but I just haven't been able to get them uploaded and on here yet!

Quick update on Macy, so I'll have it written down somewhere... She's learning a TON these days. She gets our dish towel and wipes the floors with it, as if she's cleaning. haha She brings her sippy cup to us when she wants more, and signs "more" for us... same with crackers, snacks, etc - she will sign more when she'd like more. Oh and if she doesn't want something you offer her - she just throws it onto the floor, spits it out, or shakes her head no :) She still just says hi, mama, dada, bubba, babababa (baby?), and she will now say "Abum" for Andrew. And I think she has a word for cracker, but I'm gonna have to listen closer to figure out how she's saying it, so that I can write it down :) She's practically running these days - trying to move faster anyway - sometimes she ends up on her face, but she loves trying to keep up with her big brother! She has learned to climb onto the couch - not sure if I mentioned that last time I blogged or not. She LOVES to sit in your lap - especially if you're feeding her something. She has a routine of going to everyone to tell them "night-night" when I'm getting her ready for bed. I will tell her "go tell daddy night-night", and she'll walk to him wherever he's at, and she'll open her mouth and lean in to him for a kiss. Then we'll do the same with Andrew. Then she's ready for bed :) I'm cherishing the moments I get to stay at home with her, as I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to do it...

There are LOTs of pics today. We visited the pumpkin patch for a friends bday the other day... and then we had to take some pics of her in the little outfit that Grandpa Al gave her. And some other random pics too :) Enjoy...

Babbling beauty

Macy's been babbling a lot more lately. She's really cute, walking around chattering in her own little language :) Got some pics of her in a sweet outfit, and the other day, I caught her inside one of my kitchen drawers. She's gone crazy - has learned to crawl onto the couch with no assistance, has been climbing up and into anything she can get herself in to - one favorite now being the kitchen drawers. But I love her and she can crawl in my kitchen drawers any day. :)

I need to take some pics of my boy in the next day or two, also - so be on the lookout for those!

Playing at the park

I had a session at the park last night, so the family came along so we could enjoy some of this cooler air for a change. Macy had fun running from me and my camera, along with pulling her clip out of her hair every time I'd put it in :)

Milk is a dollar?!

Our Super Target has milk on sale for .99 this week! (limit two - and you better believe I got my 2 gallons!) They had to keep up with the nearby store, Aldi, who had theirs for .99 too. But yay for that and a few other steals I got tonight.

In other news, Macy said "baby" today. I've been working with her on it for a week or so, and today she said it. Just once, and we may not hear it again for months, but at least she said it :)

Pics of my boy when he tagged along with me on a photo session this weekend, and some of the girl too :)

Back to normal

Macy's sleep schedule has returned to normal for the most part... This whole week, she's been awake for 4-5 hours, naps for 4 hours, and then is up for 4-5 more hours per day. This is good stuff :)

Just some random pics...

We wear our goldfish on our necks

This is day number 2 that Macy has stayed awake for 8 total hours (4 in the morning, 4 hour nap, then up for 4 more hours)... today was actually 9 total, but who's counting? haha I am counting, actually! Hoping and praying that our baby girl is outgrowing the 20 hour sleeping schedule! Hoping the rest of the week goes as good as today and yesterday have gone!

I got Macy some real shoes this weekend - she has shoes but they are the flimsy kind that are not really made for outdoors or heavy walking. So I got her some white shoes that she can wear for a while and with anything really. She looks so big in them, and it was quite humorous watching her learn to walk in them. Clomp, clomp, clomp - she picks up her feet real high like she's stomping :)

I think that's it!! Enjoy the pics, as that's all you come here for anyway, right?! haha

Family, gators, and snakes, Photo overload!

Lately we've just been trying to keep Macy awake and happy! She's been very cranky and clingy since her bloodwork last week to find out why she sleeps so much. We still need to see a sleep specialist about it, but so far her bloodwork looks fine. In the meantime, we're trying to keep her happy when she is awake, and trying to convince her that we're not going to leave her or give her shots or take her blood from her arms again. She doesn't seem to believe us, as she constantly wants us to hold her or be near her. Poor punkin.

Spent Labor Day weekend in East Texas with our families. Posting pics from the weekend and some other random pics, just to catch up :)
