A Baby Divided

Today was the big IU/UK basketball game. This game is a big deal in our house because I am a big IU fan and Brian is a big UK fan. The funny thing is, our teams seem to take turns winning. The last four years it has been, IU, UK, IU, and unfortunately this year UK won again. Macie was dressed for the occasion in a UK onesie underneath her IU sleeper.

This is the first picture that we have of her smiling at me. I got so excited I almost started crying! A little over the top I know, but it's the little things in life that matter people!!
Of course the boys had to sport their gear as well. This is the best we could do to get all three in the same picture!

The Christmas presents have already started coming!

We are lucky enough to have been asked to be Godparents for Reagan and Leland, so we got them gifts for Christmas. Earlier this week, we had Brandi and the kids over for dinner. They also brought Macie a cute outfit. Today, we had my parents, Wendy, Jeremy, and Leland over for lunch and they also brought her an adorable outfit! A week and a half until Christmas and she already has two gifts! I have a feeling she is going to be spoiled rotten this year!!Reagan started crawling at our house! It was the first time she had crawled for her Mommy!
We couldn't leave Bailey out, so we got him a train puzzle. He worked it about 20 times before leaving that night!

Macie got ahold of Grandpa's beard! Ouch!

We got Leland a Little Einstein 4-1 learning game. He loved it and wanted to start playing it right away!

2 Months Old!!

Macie is 2 months old today! I can hardly believe it. Here are some highlights from the last month:

• She has started to smile at us intentionally. It melts my heart!
• Macie has rolled over from her belly to her back several times. She always looks so shocked once she rolls over.
• As of Monday, she weighed 9 pounds 15 ounces, so I am sure that she is well over 10 pounds by now!
• Daddy has kept Macie all by himself a couple of times now and even took her shopping in all of the holiday craziness!
• Macie grabs on to everything. Brian learned very quickly not to hold her with his shirt off...ouch!!
• Macie finally got to meet her Aunt Allie for the first time and she has been having a lot of fun with her since both Mommy and Allie aren't working right now.
  

Happy Birthday Keelin!

On Sunday, we went to Keelin's birthday party. The theme of the party was Tinkerbell and we got Keelin a Tinkerbell backpack and some coloring posters with markers. Every gift that she opened she said "out, out". It was so cute!

Brian and Macie spent a lot of time on the couch watching the Colt's game.
Keelin looked adorable wearing her backpack.

She started putting her other gifts in her backpack.

Keelin loves Macie. When it was time for us to leave, Keelin got all of the stuff out of Macie's car seat and opened up the straps so that Macie could get in. She is a great helper!
