Halloween Costume

This is Macie's first Halloween costume! I thought it was pretty cute, and it's super warm! You can't really tell from this picture, but it is a bunny rabbit.

Macie's Blessing

Okay, so this was a long time ago, but better late than never, right? Macie was blessed September 28. She slept through the whole thing so she never made a peep, which was a relief to Reed. It was a beautiful blessing, and Reed's aunt Sherrie even wrote it down in short hand and then wrote the whole thing out for us. It will be so nice for us and Macie to have as she grows older. Here are a couple pictures of our baby girl in her beautiful little dress.

Pretty Little Girl

These are a few pictures I took of Macie the other day. We had fun with the camera!

In this one Macie was actually falling off the pillow, that's why my hand is in the picture. I thought it was a funny picture of her.

Macie loves the morning! She is always so happy and content.

Another Camping Trip

Last weekend we went camping up by Kelly Canyon with Klay & Lindsey Johnson. Macie did really good again, which makes it fun. On Saturday we all went on a four-wheeler ride through the trees. The leaves there are just starting to turn and it was SO pretty! I love the fall. The only problem with fall is that winter is now way too close!

The Fair

Last Thursday Reed, Macie, my sister Sonja and I went to the fair. The food was Delicious and fattening as ever! We had a good time and Macie, as always, drew a lot of attention. I don't mean to brag, okay maybe a little, but I swear we can't go anywhere without drawing a small crowd around our baby girl! The other day at Lowe's we had seven or eight people surrounding her. When we were walking through crowds at the fair there were constant comments: "Look at that baby!" "What a beautiful baby!" "Look at all that hair!" "You have to come see this baby!" And my favorite, "Is that a wig?" Ha ha. Well, I am a little bias, but I think she is beautiful!

New Discovery

In the last little while Macie has discovered her tongue. She looks like a little lizard when she sticks it in and out. This picture doesn't do her justice. It was hard to snap the picture when her tongue was all the way out because she brings it back in so fast!

Chipmunk Cheeks

These are just a few pictures of Macie in the morning. (Notice her bed-head) She is growing so fast and is getting the cutest chubby little cheeks. You can't help but kiss them!

Camping!

A few weeks ago we bought an old camper, so on Labor Day weekend we decided to try it out. It was Macie's first ever camping trip and she did great. She even slept better at night than she does at home! Saturday we all piled on our four-wheeler and went for a little ride. (Macie was in a front carrier, thank you Katie) Macie fell right asleep and stayed that way until the ride was over. We had a really good time and are looking forward to our next little camping trip.

Rock-a-bye Baby

Macie loves her swing! I am so glad that there is something to entertain her for a while so I can get some things done, like shower. She stays in there for a few hours at a time sometimes, and I feel a little guilty for leaving her alone for so long. But I guess not guilty enough to take her out until she fusses.

Macie Up to Two Weeks

This is our family the day Macie turned two weeks old. She is already growing and changing so much! She now weighs 7 lbs 6 oz and is 20 3/4 in long!

These were also taken the day Macie turned two weeks old. We think that she is so beautiful!

Daddy and his little girl ready for church.

It's hard to get a picture of Macie with her eyes open. This one was taken right when she woke up, so she's still a little groggy.

I still can't believe that I am actually a mom now, it's still so strange.

Little Macie with her daddy again.

All ready for her first week at church, doesn't she look like a doll?

Macie had a little bit of Jaundice the first week, so she was on the Billie Blanket for a couple days to get her levels down. She looked like a little glow worm for a few days, and it was annoying always having to drag her machine around. But we are so grateful that she is so healthy and hasn't had anything worse. We've been so blessed!

Sleepy Little Girl

Macie hates to have her arms inside her blanket, so when she sleeps she's always doing funny things with them. These pictures show some of the cute things she does when she's sleeping.

Macie Marie Denning was born on Monday, July 28th at 11:58 A.M. She weighed 6 lbs 10 oz and was 20 in long.

This is Macie with her cousins that live next door.

Reed is so cute with our little girl. He holds her whenever he has the chance. So basically all evening long.

The nurses on the night shift liked to make bows for the little girls. Macie came back with this one on her head at 4:00 in the morning. This is the day we brought her home. She was so tired, she slept all day and wouldn't even wake up to eat!

Macie had a bit of a cone head when she was first born, but it went away really fast.

Daddy holding his brand new baby girl. He was so good during labor and delivery, thank you Reed.

Thank you!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the love and support you have showed to Reed and I. We are so lucky to have so many freinds and family around us! Our family threw us a baby shower last week, and we got everything we need and more! We felt pretty spoiled, but also very loved. So, thank you everyone for your support.

Getting Close!!

I cannot believe how fast time has been going by these last few weeks. Our little girl's due date is rapidly approaching. I am so excited, but at the same time I feel so unprepared! It seems like I have been pregnant FOREVER, and I cannot believe that in a few weeks we will be bringing home our little girl. This Friday I will finish up at work, and Macie(this is her name for now) is due only two weeks after that! It all feels so unreal to me, and I am getting a little nervous about the whole delivery thing. Luckily I have Reed, who isn't nervous, just excited. And has complete confidence in me becoming a first-time mom. I know he will be a great Daddy to his little girl!
