Food Storage

Today we were finally able to get the last of our food storage for one year. Yay! It feels so good to know that we have food and water there if we need it. I was just happy about that so I wanted to share!

Macie with the Giggles

Macie thought Sonja was being SO funny, all she would have to do was talk in a deep voice and she would crack up!

Happy Birthday Reed!

Today is Reed's 26th birthday, so I just want to let everyone know what an amazing husband I have. I could never imagine my life with anyone else, he is the perfect man for me:) I love you Honey, happy birthday!

Teeth!!

So Macie has been drooling a lot the last week or so, and everyone keeps asking me if she is teething. She loves to chew on everything, and when she sticks my finger in her mouth she can bite down pretty hard with those gums. Yesterday she had a runny nose and she didn't sleep very well last night, she just wanted to be held, which is not at all like Macie. And this morning when she was chewing on my finger I felt something sharp at the bottom! Yikes, I am so scared to feed her again! I cannot believe my baby girl is old enough to have teeth, she is growing up way too fast.

More Pictures of Macie

Our little girl loves to stick her tongue out, it makes us laugh.

This is Macie in her new Bumbo chair she got for Christmas. She thinks she is so big in it.

I started her on some solid foods after Christmas. Her favorite is mashed bananas (the real stuff) and cream of wheat. She doesn't like any of the yuck in the jars, but I can't blame her. It stinks, I wouldn't eat it either. So I am going to try and make her some homemade baby food from different fruits and veggies and see how that goes. Macie always wants to hold the spoon when she eats, so she gets pretty messy!

Reed was trying to hold Macie and brush his teeth at the same time, but she kept grabbing the toothbrush! So hear is Macie brushing her gums. It's kind of gross I know, but we thought it was funny.

And here is our sleeping little angel.

Christmas Morning

We had a great Christmas this year. Reed and I had colds, but Macie managed not to get one, so that was pretty lucky. We spent Christmas Eve at my parent's home with lots of family. We played games and opened presents and had lots of fun! Then On Christmas morning we stayed at our house and opened our presents to each other. We had to wake Macie up at about 9:30, but I don't think we'll have to worry about that in a few years. Christmas Eve used to be the longest night of the year! In the evening we went over to Reed's parents' home for dinner and more presents, an then the grand kids acted out the nativity. It was a really nice Christmas, and I am so glad I got to spend it with family. Here are a few of my favorite pictures...

Macie got her first solid foods in her stocking. She tried to eat the box of cereal as soon as she got it.
