Christmas Fun!

We hope that all of our family and friends had a great Christmas! We enjoyed Makayla's 1st Christmas! We had a bunch of family things going on and it was nice to spend time with everyone. Makayla had a blast, she had lots of presents to open, and som of it we will be putting together up until her 1st birthday. Makayla would grab the wrapping paper and help open the presents. When she opened her little radio she didn't want anything to do with the other gifts. Here are some of the pictures that we have from Christmas. We cannot wait for next year, she will be even more fun.

Winter Fun!

Here is the latest! We have been very busy with the holidays coming just around the corner. Here are some of the latest pictures for you to enjoy! Makayla is getting bigger and bigger everyday. Mark got to play babysitter for a whole week while our baby sitter was off. We took swimming lessons, more like me and Makayla playing in the pool. She did not like the pool at first but by the end of the 7 weeks she loved it and didn't want to leave when our time was done. We have so much snow here, one day we took Makayla out in her sled and pulled her around. She absolutely loved it!
The latest for Makayla is that she is now sitting up and pushes her self back up all by her self. She is eating foods and loves all of them. When she sees the food coming she has her mouth open so wide and kicking her feet while waiting for her food. Makayla is trying so hard to start crawling. She is getting her knees under her and rocking back and forth all the time. She still doesn't know what to do with her hands, especially when there is a toy in one hand. Makayla is constantly chewing and sucking on her toys. We keep thinking that there is a tooth coming through, but nothing has come through yet. Christmas is just around the and I cannot wait to she all the fun Makayla is going to have with the paper instead of the toys. I will post some Christmas pictures soon. Enjoy these pictures!
