Going Golfing!

It has been such a nice weekend so we thought we would take advantage of the weather and go golfing. We took Makayla for her first golfing adventure. Not sure what she thought of it, but she had fun playing with the golf balls. She even tried driving the golf cart! We have ourselves a future golfer, enjoy the pictures!

HAPPY EASTER!

We wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter! We got to spend the afternoon with Mark's parents and my parents eating dinner and playing with Makayla. Mark did all the cooking while I entertained Makayla. I placed some easter eggs around the living room for Makayla to find. When she found them she just liked to shake them because the candy inside was making sound. Daddy ate the candy of course. Here are some pictures of our day! ENJOY!

Easter 2009

It's been awhile!

I know it has been a while since I have posted any thing. We have been really busy, and Makayla is going to be 10 months on Monday. I cannot believe that she will be a year in 2 months! She is so busy now and we have just recently put locks on the cupboards since she has figured out how to get in to them. I came home one day this week and she was pulling everything out! Yea we went to the store that night. Makayla loves the dogs she follows them around everywhere, and get so excited when they come near her. I have 2 more weeks and then off for spring break. I cannot wait to spend the whole week with Makayla! Mark is getting very busy with the golf course, I hope that is a good sign for this summer! I know that there is a lot more that I am missing to put on here, but I have lots of pictures for you to enjoy. I will keep up on this better. Enjoy the pictures!

Adventures in Eating!

I thought I would share some pictures that I took tonight of Makayla eating tonight. She loves to eat her food and she sits there waiting with her mouth wide open. She looks like a little birdy! She gets so excited when she sees her food and she starts kicking and screaming. We have had no problem with her eating anything, which we are lucky. Afterwards she has to wash down her food with water in her sippy cup. Enjoy the pictures!

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!

Going to the Dogs!

The past few weeks Makayla has really started to notice the dogs (Zeke & Zoie). When ever they come around she gets all excited and starts making noises and starts laughing at them. They are not really doing anything but maybe chewing on their bones and she thinks this is the funniest thing. We have the dogs come by us so that she is not afraid of them and she has recently started to grab for them. She loves to especially pet Zeke because he has the long fur, she even tries to eat him! The other night Makayla was watching the dogs and she was trying to reach down for Zeke. I set her on the floor and she reached out and was hugging Zeke. It was so cute! Makayla is getting so fun and she is changing daily! I just had to share this with everyone and the picture is so cute. Enjoy!
