13 Months Old

Macy turned 13 months old on April 5!


*You have really grown so much!  You had your 12 month appt and you were in the 50% percentile at 21 lbs and 75th percentile at 29 and a quarter inches tall.  You had your heighth taken like a big girl instead of laying down .  You got 2 shots..one in each arm.  You did better this time than I thought you would.

(March 29- Dr. appt.)

*You know what a turkey, bee, dog, and horse says.  You can say and point out nose, eyes, hair, fingers, toes, and ears on yourself and others.  You now say thank you, bite, ball, hey, bye, mama, dada, puppy, horse...and theres more that I'm sure I'm forgetting. You pretty much mimic anything we say and do.  You blow when I blow your food thats too hot.  Or if I say 'it's hot' you will start to blow. 
When we hear something outside I will say "shh shh listen...." and so now you say "shh shh" when you hear the garage opening , you know that daddy is home

(March 11)


*You are walking like crazy (started walking around March 14th I believe)  and you do not like to be carried...you want to walk on your own!  Especially in the yard..you loooove being outside


(March 28th)


(March 30)


*We took you to the park on March 31.  You rode the carousel and the train for the first time.





*You had your second Easter on April 8th. (detailed post to come) 


Looking for some cash




Here you are on April 7th at the church egg hunt...you got to see the Easter Bunny before we went outside. 
(you were less than impressed...)

Macy's 1st Birthday Party!

Macy had a great first birthday party on March 3rd!  I have to say it was exhausting getting everything done the night before.

Friday night (March 2nd), it was just me and Macy getting everything ready.  She loved her balloons.

We did an "ice cream" theme for the party so I made cupcake ice cream cones and they turned out pretty cute!




Mimi and Papa were the first to arrive.  They got her a wagon...she was sooo excited




All ready for the rest of the party to arrive




I also made Macy's smash cake


I just served PB&J sandwiches, chips, ice cream, and cupcakes...nothing fancy!



Macy was glad to see her BFF Riana





Macy was really needing a nap as this was right at her naptime, but she did pretty well.


Present time






Time for cake!






Cake is serious business






Let them eat cake!


After the party, Macy had a quick bath and then a nice 2.5 hr long nap.  When she woke up she got to check out her new ride from mommy and daddy!




Macy's update at 12 months

I started this post over 2 weeks ago, just never published. I'm so behind! :(

This was written March 14.



(Macy and Poppy on March 8)

Macy turned ONE on March 5th!


*You are so funny now!  You have started shaking your head no, you love to sing and dance, you love to draw

*You can stand on your own now!   You have taken a few steps too, but still a little wobbly.  ( You took 3 steps on your own without us telling you to on March 12!)  We make a huge deal deal of it and you laugh and then hug me

*Your favorite foods are chicken, fruit of any kind, broccoli, carrots, peas.  Fave snacks are puffs, "baby cheetos" as I call them, cookies.   You tried ice cream for the first time on your birthday March 5th.

*You love the horses at Mawmaw's house and started saying "horse" this month.  You also started saying "flowers" and pointing to them when you say it.  You also know where your nose, ears, eyes, hair, mouth, and finger are!

*You had your first Valentine's Day (the last "first" holiday..sad!)


                                                                   (Feb. 12)
*You started sticking your tongue out and making the mmmm sound when you do it

*You started drinking whole milk on March 6th, but you are still nursing.

*You wear size 12m in most things and recently started wearing a size 4 diaper.  You wear a size 4 shoe





Macy is now officially walking! I still need to post about her bday party, I finally got all the pics uploaded so will do that soon.   I have got to get back to blogging so I don't forget anything!
