First Food

Macy started on some rice cereal 4 days before she turned 6 months. She was a little cautious at first, but then learned to LOVE it! She would keep her arms in the air for the entire feeding and make squeals and smiles at me the whole time.

I started with rice cereal for about 2 weeks before I gave her anything else (except a couple tries of mashed potatoes). Then I gave her squash for a week and then sweet potatoes. She really loves squash the most so far.

So far she is not too messy and feeding time is a pleasant time...let's just hope this lasts. I love seeing her grow and experience new things...she is so precious!

California

The most fun thing happened about a week ago...my entire family got to go to California to be together. We weren't expecting it, so it was even more fun and exciting. The only bummer was that Clark only got to be there for the weekend, but Andy and Melissa's family, along with myself and Macy got to stay an entire week.

Julie graduated from high school on the 10th of June and we all got to be there to celebrate the joyous occasion...she is the baby and now all us kids are adults. Here she is on the special day...well night.


One of my favorite restaurants in Utah is Cafe Rio, well now they have a couple in California!! We all went and got some food and then headed down to the beach. Last time Macy went, she slept and was too young to understand where we were, but this time she was really diggin the sand. I guess it's a little glimpse into what's to come when we go to Carpinteria.

Macy has started sucking on her toes...I think it is so darn cute...so I got a picture.

PRECIOUS!!!

We got to fly to and from California...and I love flying. It happened to be Macy's first time on an airplane, lucky girl. On the way down, I was next to Clark which was nice. She nursed, fell asleep, and woke up when we landed. On the way back I flew solo so it was a little more tricky. Macy still did really well and fell asleep, but not with out a few squaks just to scare all the people on the plane into thinking it was going to be a really long flight. She already has a sense of humor ;)

Last time we were in Cali, Macy didn't really like my dad all that much for some odd reason, but this time she loved him. Here is to document their cute little time together.

Stella was so excited to get to see Macy and hold her. She has even named one of her dolls at home "Baby Macy." Well she did plenty of Macy holding...so cute. Every time she cried or made a noise, Stella would tell me that she needed a bottle or that she had to hold her. One day in particular, Macy was in her carseat and she started whining a little. Stella told me that she needed to hold Macy to make her feel better. So I got Macy out and placed her on Stella's lap. Stella got this grossed out look on her face, let go of Macy and said, "I don't wanna hold her, she smells sgusting(disgusting)." Poor little Macy has a spit up problem and sometimes can smell a little sgusting.

Showing off the cute cousins

I had so much fun visiting with my family...I wish we could all live super close and see each other more often.

A Day at the Park

This is Macy at her second cousins graduation party...she was partying it up!!

A couple weeks ago, I drove down to Orem with Clark and dropped him off at school and then took Macy to the little pond right below BYU's campus. The weather has been awful here in Utah, so when a nice day arrived, I figured I would take Macy out to enjoy the outside world. She loved being outside, looking at the little ducks, and posing for pictures.

Macy showing her incredible neck and back strength.

I think I will take her to the park more often!
