In Case You Were Wondering

Yes we are alive and Yes our internet has not been working. We ordered a new router, so I should be getting better at posting more frequently soon.

In Varner news...
Macy turned 2 months and is growing like a weed.


She is just so cute.


We went to the doctor for her two month appointment and here were her stats:


weight 11 lbs 8.6 oz 75%


height 23 1/2 inches 90%


head 39 I think 75%




She is definitely a tall girl!




Macy is developing like crazy...she notices everything around her. Yesterday she was looking at her blanket for about 15 minutes straight and tried and tried to grab it. She bats at things like my face and the mobile over her bouncy seat. She loves her bouncy chair which is otherwise called her pooper chair. Whenever we know she needs to poop, we put her in it and it does the job. She is sleeping through the night on a pretty regular basis. She started around 6 weeks sleeping around 6 hours a night...sometimes more sometimes a little less. She goes a long stretch and then wakes up, eats one side, and then sleeps for another 4 hours. Last night she slept 7 and 1/2 hours, ate one side and slept another 4 hours. I LOVE IT!! She has always been a good sleeper. She still doesn't have too many awake periods...she likes to eat and sleep. The time she likes to be awake is at night when I'm trying to put her to bed and she talks to me. She is a major talker. We go back and forth making sounds...everytime she looks at me she talks.




Macy has what is called torticollis. The neck muscle on her left side is tighter than the one on her right side. This is due to her positioning in my uterus. Because of this she has a hard time holding her head up straight and she has a flat spot on the left side of her head. it makes me so sad, but I just have to stretch it and give her lots of tummy time and she should be all good. There is a little one year old girl at church who has it and I wouldn't have known unless her mom told me...this gives me hope.




Macy's eyes have yet to change color. They are still a blue/grey/green color. I'm not sure what color they are going to be. The guesses we have gotten are grey, light brown, or hazel. I will be happy with whatever color...she is just a beauty no matter what.




We took Macy to church yesterday for the first time. I was very hesitant but clark really wanted her to go. So we kept her away from everyone and didnt let anyone touch her. She did really well and slept most of the time. It was sure fun getting her all dressed up for church! She wore shoes for the first time but we didnt get them in the pic
Noelle got married on February 5th to Mark Heaton in the Los Angeles temple. Well, I couldn't miss it so Macy and I headed down to California. We drove down with my friend Lindsey and had a great time. Macy was so good on the drive and only started to cry as we were pulling up to my parents house. We stayed almost 2 weeks. I was in heaven being with family, actually getting to eat out, actually getting to go outside, and just simply being in cali. Macy had a lot of fun with her grandpa and grandma Lund and Auntie Julie. At the end of our trip, Clark and his mom drove down for the weekend and to drive us back to Utah. While Clark was there, we got to go on a Valentine's date and to Newport beach.

  3. I have been waiting for weeks to hear or see anything from you. Finally my patience has paid off. I was even tempted to call you and ask you if you needed to use my computer just so I could see how she has changed. Sorry to hear about the torticollis but it sounds like she was blessed with just the right mommy to help her with it. Enjoy enjoy enjoy.
