Happy Independence Day

(Sorry, I couldn't decide on just 1 picture. )

randomness...

I know that I have been a horrible blogger lately. But since a certain little someone takes up pretty much all my time I barely have time to clean my house much less blog as often as I would like. :(

She is growing like a weed and I can not believe that she is already 6 1/2 months old. December will be here before I know it. She is learning more and more every day and she is now a full time sitter upper! She scoots all over my house and will get any where she wants in just a matter of a few seconds. Once she figures out this crawling thing.... It ALL over! As anxious as I am to see her learn and accomplish that new task, I don't want her to figure it out either. We still have not cut any teeth yet but she sure is chewing on everything!

So until next time here are a few pictures to ohh and ahh over.

1st Beach Trip

Aunt Shelly, Aunt Jamie and the clan all came to Galveston for the weekend and rented a condo. We decided this year since Macy was small and they were so close to "home" we would just meet them down there for the day. So yesterday, we loaded up and headed to Pointe West! We had a blast!!!! Macy saw the ocean for the 1st time.... AND I didn't even get a picture! We played in the pool and the lazy river. Which means she also swam for the 1st time... AND I didn't even get a picture. YES I had my camera but just forgot. :(

She loved the water and I think we just may have a water baby on our hands.
All the kids had a great time and Macy enjoyed "playing" with her cousins. And I am pretty sure they enjoyed her as well.
I can't wait till next year. I hope that we are able to ALL go as a family with Nana and Papa.

This is the only picture that anyone got of my girl.... Thanks Aunt Shelly for snapping a quick pic with your cell phone!

I LOVE THESE 4 LITTLE MUNCHKINS!

I love that there is only 4 years difference in Macy and Connor. But I fairly certain that Camryn and Macy are going to call ALL the shots!

6 MONTHS OLD

I can not believe that my baby girl is already 6 months old! Seriously... Half a year has already gone by. She has been pretty busy this past month. So I'll get right to the point.

6 Month Stats
weight: 16 pounds
height: 25 1/4

• Rolling all over the living room.
  And wants to crawl so bad she can taste it!

• Finally in size 2 diapers

• Can still wear size 3 month clothes however is also wearing 6 months as well

• Teething like crazy but no pearly white yet.

• Holding her bottle herself

• Eating cereal for breakfast, veggie or fruit for lunch, and veggie or fruit for dinner.

• Taking 6 ounces every 4 hours still, however some days she will go 5-6 hours.

• Moved to her crib from the pack & play in our room last week. And seems to be doing well.

• Goes to bed between 7-8 and for the past week has slept anywhere from 8-10 hours at night. **KNOCK ON WOOD**

• Started sitting up this week

Macy,
This is a hard month for me to swallow. I can not believe that you came in to our lives just 6 short months ago. Our lives have changed so much over the past 6 months but I would not trade any of it for anything in the world. You seem to have changed from a infant to a little girl this month. And as excited as I am to watch you grow and learn new things, it breaks my heart a little. So if you could slow it down just a bit I would really appreciate it. ;)
We Love you to the Moon and Back

LOL

Just came across a couple of funny pictures that I thought I would share.

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!

CRACKS ME UP EVERY TIME! SHE LOOKS LIKE HER MOMMA HERE.


SWEET SWEET GIRL!

5 months old

Geez Louise...... Macy Moo you have done it again. Where is the time going? Seriously! I absolutely can not believe that we now have a 5 month old. What are you up to now.....

• Finally moved up in diaper size. You are in a 1-2, not officially in 2's yet but it wont be long.
  

• Still wearing size 0-3 clothes, although you really cant wear any pants/shorts/skirts... as you have no waist or hiney to hold anything up. ;)
  

• Rolling over from Back to Stomach
  

• Taking 6 ounces every 4 hours..And you are NOT late for a meal EVER!

• You started eating cereal and baby foods this month. You didn't care for green beans or peas at 1st but now you are eating what ever we give you.

• You are chewing on everything.... I don't think it will be much longer before you have a little pearly white shining though. Which breaks my heart because I love your gummy grins and I sure will miss them. :*(
  

• Your reflux issues are much better and you take your medicine like a CHAMP every morning.

• Over the past couple of weeks you are starting to nap during the day a little better. Instead of 5-30 minutes at a time. You are now taking a long morning and a long afternoon nap.

• You are pretty attached to mommy and seem to only want me to put you to sleep at night. Cant say that I mind though. =)

• I ended up having to take you to the doctor today and you were diagnosed with a upper respiratory infection and you were started on amoxicilln twice a day for the next 10 days. Your weight today was 14 lbs. 13 oz. YAY you finally doubled your birth weight!!! ( by 5 ounces) and you are also 25.5 inches long!
  

Macy,
You have really started showing us who you are this month. Your little personality sure has started to shine through. And for the most part you are a happy/smiley baby girl. We look forward to seeing what surprises you have for us over the next month.

We love you to the moon and back,

Mommy & Daddy

Did I mention that you are WAY more active this month and you DO NOT SIT STILL!

1st Mother's Day

My Heart
(anonymous)
You little one, are mommy's heart
I knew it right from the start
the way you hold my finger tight,
when we we're alone late at night.
When I cradle you in my arms
you smile and show all your charms.
Then when you drift off to sleep
sometimes I can't help but weep,
how lucky I have become
to actually be the chosen one.
To have and hold a child like you
now life seems too good to be true.
So I look up at the sky so blue
and thank the heavens for giving me you!
