11 Months Old!

Today our little Macie Lu is 11 months old! She is a bundle of energy and seems to be doing new things every day! I love rediscovering the world through her eyes! Here are some highlights of the last month:

• Macie now has four teeth! Two on top and two on bottom. She likes to grind them together to hear the sound. When she eats cheerios, she tries to chew them with her teeth. It is too funny!
• She has a smile that lights up her whole face and the entire room. She just looks at you with that big grin and bright blue eyes and melts our hearts!
• She is officially crawling; no more army crawl! She is also pulling up and walking along the couch and anything she can reach. We had to redo our living room to accommodate her new found freedom!
• She finally discovered her toy basket in the living room. Until now, Brian and I would get toys out for her, but she never would go over to the basket and get toys out herself. This week, she started digging through the basket and pulling stuff out. It makes a big mess, but I'm just glad she finally plays with some of her toys!
• She laughs out loud when we tickle her and it is the most contagious laugh!
• We started a NEW daycare routine. Hopefully, this will be the last! She still goes to my mom's house on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday but now she goes to Sturgis to visit Grammie and Pops on Thursday and Friday. She spends the night with them. It's hard on Mommy, but she likes the break too. We are just so relieved that she is finally being taken care of and we don't have to worry one bit when we go to work!

She leaned in to give the duck a kiss without us telling her to!
