A Day at the Park

We had a great time at the park today! We met Staci, Cade & Makynli at a park in Coppell for a picnic. Cade and Macie had a great time playing outside in the beautiful fall weather!

14 Months

Macie is 14 months old... and she is a very busy little girl She is learning to walk, learning lots of new words, and getting lots of teeth! She is constantly asking "what's that?" She says "dog" everytime she sees Lexie. Lexie's feelings are a little hurt because she will say "Trooper" (my parent's German Shepard), but won't say "Lexie". She has 5 teeth now... all of which have come in the last 2 months. She loves to eat and is enjoying trying lots of new foods. She is such a joy and so much fun!!

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Macie's friend Jackson's birthday was today... and this picture of Macie has nothing to do with it... She was having such a good time at the party and was so busy, I had no time to take pictures of the birthday boy. Happy Birthday Jackson!!

Bath Time

Macie loves bath time! She squeals and tries to climb into the tub as soon as I turn the water on.

Little Miss Adventurous

Macie is everywhere these days!! She is so busy crawling, pulling up, and getting into everything! She crawled under her Excersaucer on Sunday morning before church... and decided it was not a great place to be after she bumped her head a couple of times. Mom to the rescue! Macie still doesn't have any teeth... Her lack of teeth doesn't slow her down when it comes to eating... The girl loves to eat! She eats her baby food very well, and begs to try whatever Steve and I are eating. She is a big talker too... She will talk to anything that will listen (me, Lexie, her toes...). Macie has also learned to give high fives and will wave bye. She is finally wearing 6-9 month clothes, and size 1 shoes. Sad story: We were shopping at the Galleria today and Macie lost one of her cute white sandles. I don't have any idea how long it had been missing, but I know she started out with a complete pair on her feet. Poor girl, her mean mom won't buy her any more white sandles for this year... it's almost Labor Day. She can go barefoot, right?

Best Buddies

Macie and Lexie are the best of friends!
