Macie is enjoying her summer and so am I! I have really enjoyed being home with Macie and am so glad that I have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mommy. She just makes me smile. Since she giggled so much the other day, I try to make her laugh everyday like that. She did giggle more yesterday and it was so fun to hear. It seems that Sebastian is the best way to make it happen. I am so glad they get along so well and that he doesn't mind when she is pulling on his hair.

We are so excited that Sheldon, Reagan, and Jackson will be here next Friday. We have missed them so very much. It will be so fun to watch all 3 little cousins play together.

Macie Giggles

Macie giggled like crazy today for the first time. Sebastian jumped up beside her and she just started laughing. It was adorable. I grabbed the camera and got a pretty good version of her laughing although she was laughing harder before I started the video. I have been waiting and waiting for this! It always looks like she wants to laugh or is so close to laughing because she grins so big. Macie's giggle was the sweetest sound to my ears.

Another Fun Weekend

Macie went to Easton's 2nd birthday party and had a great time. She was wishing for some of that yummy cake but she had to stick to her diet..."milk."

Macie is now taking two naps a day. Her naps are lasting anywhere from 1 1/2 hours in the morning to a 3 hours in the afternoon. I work as fast as possible in the afternoon to get things accomplished. I am tutoring now in the morning while she naps so that is helpful. I have been babysitting in the afternoons while Macie naps but Monday will be my last day. Anyway, in this picture Macie fell asleep while Zack and I were having dinner. Sometimes she needs a little cat nap to make it until bedtime.

Macie loves swimming in her pool. She goes swimming every couple of days.

Both Macie and Sebastian are warn out from playing so hard during the day.

Swimming

We had a really fun but busy weekend. Zack and I had a wedding Saturday night so Macie got to spend the night at her Nonnie's and Pappy's house. This was a big one for me because it was the first time leaving her for that long of a time and all night. I called several times...not because I was worried but because I wanted to know what she was doing. My dad told me to quit calling them because I was interrupting their time with Macie. He was joking. Anyway, Macie did fantastic and didn't cry the entire time. She even got to go to Target and pick out a toy. I was so thrilled to see her Sunday morning. Then we had another wedding Sunday evening which was lots of fun. Some of Zack's family hadn't met Macie yet so they got to see her. She was a bit shy and didn't show off all her smiles.

Macie also got to go swimming today. I got her a swimming pool last week and was so anxious to try it out. She really enjoyed playing in the water. She was playing with her toys and splashing the water. Macie took a great long nap afterwards. I think we will be spending a lot of time playing in the pool this summer.
