PUFFS!!!

Tonight, Macie ate puffs for the first time. Just like with any new food, she makes a face and thinks about it before she decides if she likes it. But, she loved them! Brian has been wanting her to eat these since I've been pregnant because he likes them too!

March of Dimes

Today, Macie and I took advantage of the beautiful day and we walked in the March of Dimes walk. It was her first time to sit in her stroller without the car seat and she loved it! She did so well all day. I couldn't have asked for a better day!

After the walk, Dylan came over to talk to Macie about the walk

Aunt Jennifer and Aunt Julie boogied down to the music after the walk Macie took Aunt Allie's bag of chips...

How do I get these things open?

Big Girl Bath

Because Macie is getting better at sitting up on her own and she is getting way to big for her little froggy bathtub, we decided to put her in the sink to give her a bath last night. Macie has a lot of bath toys, about 20 of them and 9 of which are rubber duckies, so we got out a few for her first big girl bath. She loved it. It was a whole different experience! Before long, she will be sitting in our bathtub!!!

Can I go back to chewing on my ducky now?

6 Month Checkup!

Today, Macie went to visit Dr. Voyles for her 6 month checkup. She weighs 16 pounds 13 ounces and is 26 1/4 inches long. He was impressed that she is already sitting up on her own, but she isn't really rolling over like she should be. He wasn't really concerned about that and told me some things Macie will start doing in the next few months. She will be starting stage 2 foods and we can give her mashed potatoes, pudding, and applesauce. I can also start her on juice.
I will have to say that this was one of the most difficult visits so far because they were running behind, Macie was getting hungry, and she is starting to freak out with strangers a bit more. She cried when they weighed her and when Dr. Voyles was checking her out. Then, the worst part....the shots. I'm so happy that she doesn't have to get any shots until 1 year.
The highlight of the visit, for me, was when Macie and I were waiting for Dr. Voyles and she was telling me about her day on the table. Behind the table, there is a mirror and she was talking to herself and reaching for the baby in the mirror. It was so precious!
