Welcome Home Aunt Chelsea!!!

John's sister Chelsea got home from her mission to California on the 17th and we were not able to meet her at the airport. But they were able to stop by on their way back to Springville and Macks got to meet her Aunt Chelsea!!! 

She loves her so much. Whenever she see's her, she just gets the biggest smile on her face!!! 

We are so glad to have her back we missed her lots and are super excited to spend lots of time together!!!

5 Months

Macks is now 5 months old! She is growing so fast and learning new things everyday! Here is a little bit of what she is doing now.

• She now not only rolls to the right but can roll to the left.
• She can sometimes roll front to back.
• She has done 2 complete rolls in a row.
• She knows mom and dad and will try to find us when someone else is holding her, and then smiles at us.
• She has the biggest personality that keeps growing everyday. 
• She keeps surprising us with new sounds and we love them.
• She is an eating machine, she eats like 8-10 times a day and it never seems enough.
• We are trying to teach her how to eat cereal from a spoon, she still hasn't figured it out but we will keep trying.
• She can still wear most of her 0-3 month clothes, and can fit in a few of her 3-6 month clothes.

Here are a few pictures of her 5th month!!!

We've Got a Roller Folks!!!

Last Friday Macks decided she wanted to roll over. So the Dr during her 4 month check-up that with in 2 to 3 weeks he wanted her to be able to roll over from front to back. And at that point she absolutely hated tummy time, and pretty much still does. I didn't think she was going to be rolling over for a while. So on Friday I was trying to get ready to go to a volleyball tournament, so I laid her on the ground on her back and turned on Sesame Street while I went to get dressed. Well a couple minutes later I heard her yelling (when I say yelling it is not crying just talking very loud) so I came out to check on her and she was on her belly. It turns out she rolled over and couldn't get back. So I tried to see if she would do it again but no luck. So I told John and her was bummed he missed it. But don't you worry, while I was at volleyball she rolled over for him!!! And as of today she loves rolling. She still gets stuck on her belly and can't get back. But I feel that with as much as she rolls to her stomach that she will learn real quick how to get back. 

We keep trying to catch her rolling over but she doesn't like to preform in front of the camera. But on Saturday I was able to get a picture of the surprise on her face when she actually rolled over!!!

I Did It!!!!

1 month pictures!!!

So this happened a long time ago but I just got the pictures and I have been trying to catch up so I figured I would catch up now. So my sister-in-law Shanna took Macks' 1 month pictures and they turned out so good!!!

4 Months

Well, my little girl is 4 months old. I can't even believe it. She has grown so much in the last month and her personality just keeps getting bigger and bigger. At this months Dr's appointment she weighed in at 12 lbs and 24 inches tall!!! She is still a skinny little thing but I have a feel that is going to change soon. She eats like it is nobodies business!!!
Here are a few of her recent happenings.

• She spits up all of the time :(
• She loves smiling!
• She is still sleeping 10+ hours at night
• She loves watching volleyball and coming to practice and games with me. The girls love her even more. They pass her around and she doesn't seem to mind it at all!
• Her naps are all over the place. sometimes they are 2 hours and sometimes they are only 20 minutes.

Nap time!!!!

Just hanging out!!!

All Smiles!!!

 Trying to figure out what is going on!!!

Having fun at our picnic!

3 Months

Okay, this is a month late but I will still post it anyways! 

Well, Macks is 3 months old and is an absolute joy to our family here are some things that are going on for her this month!

• Macks loves talking, she is starting to learn new sounds and loves to show us all!
• She sleeps 10+ hours a night and is such a happy baby in the morning we love it.
• She has amazingly good control of her head and loves standing up.
• She is learning that she can control her hands and loves to stick them in her mouth
• She hates tummy time still, I don't know if it is because she hates spitting up and that makes her spit up every time, we will see if it changes next month or not.
• She has a great personality and everyone loves her. 

Now for pictures!!

To cool for school!!

Nap time with Daddy

Such a smiley baby

Macks Gets Her Ears Pierced!!!!

The week after Macks got her 2 month shots I took her to get her ears pierced! I know that some people might not agree with the fact that I did it and did not wait for her to choose to get them done. But as her mom I figured that I can do it. Well I think that she looks absolutely adorable and now I don't have to worry about always trying to find a headband that matches her outfit. because what little boys wear flower earrings!!! :)

Well we made a whole girls day out of it. My mom, sister, and John's mom all went to the mall to get them pierced and then had lunch at the food court and did a little shopping. Macks did so good she cried a little bit, well okay a lot a bit. lol She was stunned when it first happened and then cried once they finished we gave her, her bottle and she was fine. We haven't had any problems with them at all and she hasn't really grabbed at them at all.

Well I can't figure out how to get the video on here but here is an after picture of her ears!!! Once I figure out how to get the video on I will post it!!!

4th of July!!!

This year for the 4th of July I had to be in Grantsville to help my basketball girls run a few of the blow up games. So John and I decided we would go to the parade as well, even though he hates parades.

So the day started out with us having breakfast at our friends Ben, Kelsey and Lucy's house. It was super yummy!!! After that we all drove over by the high school and found a perfect spot that fit all of us in the shade!!!! The parade was really good and I think John even liked it.....or maybe it was just some of the cars!! Well after the parade we headed over to the soccer fields where everything was happening and found out that we were not only in charge of the basketball shoot but also the baseball throw. John wanted to sit in the shade so he ran the baseball throw and I helped out with the basketball shoot. It was pretty fun but super hot. So after a couple hours we headed home and had to wash Macks' outfit because she had a massive blowout during the parade. After we got her all cleaned up and dressed again we headed out to brother and sister-in-laws house for a BBQ. We had a good time there and had some super yummy food. After the BBQ we got to watch some fireworks that they had bought while in Wyoming. Surprisingly Macks' loved them. She didn't cry when they went off but stared at the pretty lights and colors!!! I think she will take after her mommy when it comes to fireworks!!!
