Bluebonnets and Park

Even thought there were about three smaller size slides that Macie could do by herself she wanted the big slide!

Macie loved swinging!

Higher, Grammy, Higher

I forgot to post these pictures with the arboretum pictures because they were on a different camera. Anway, Grammy was got to stay with us several days while Paul was in Cuba. So one of the fun things we did was take Macie to the park. We were glad for naptime afterwards though!

We tried twice to get some sweet pictures in the field of bluebonnets. Macie like the flowers but didn't like the weeds touching her legs. Bees were all over the place which made me nervous. The last thing Macie needs is a bee sting because of a picture.

Macie and Blake hung out in the cage while we went to dinner and a concert with Blake's parents and some friends! JUST KIDDING! Macie and Blake hung out though last Saturday and had a great time playing together. These two really have a great bond!

2nd attempt-I took the dogs thinking it would help but it didn't. Sebastian stuck his nose in an ant bed and Macie didn't want to get close to the flowers without crying!

More of the Arboretum

About a week or so ago, we went to the arboretum again. It was absolutely beautiful. When you are there you forget there is a big city around you with houses and building everywhere. We had a wonderful time and the weather was perfect. Macie and I were glad that Grammy got to enjoy it with us.

This was a different day! I just thought it was cute! Too bad Macie has misplaced the cute sunglasses but she did get some new ones!

DIRT

I love every minute with her! I love her cute new words (and it is only the beginning of words!) I just love everything about my sweet Macie!

15 months

The nurses loved those pigtails!

Macie had her 15 month check up and it went great! Macie weighs 23.4 lbs (50%) and is 33 in (97). Where is she getting this height? Maybe she will be around 5'5 when she is older and she will never have to worry about jeans being too long. I will keep my fingers crossed on that. Anyway, the nurse called Macie's name while in the waiting room and Macie just walked on back all by herself. She was waving at everyone. She then had a blast in the room and was a perfect little think when she was being checked out by Dr. Richardson. It was so funny to watch because she didn't move a muscle when the doctor was feeling her tummy, checking her back, and listening to her breath. The only thing she didn't let the doctor do was look in her mouth. She bit down on the stick...this is her new game when I feed her with a spoon. She bites down and smiles real big. Oh she is so cute. She cried for just a minute during her shots and was fine as we left...waving bye-bye to all the staff.

She is saying several words and is jibber jabbering a lot. My favorite word she says right now is dirt. She also sounds cute when she says juice and yes. Her favorite word is still baby! Jackson, her cousin, called everything clock for a long time. She calls everything baby!

Easter

Zack, Macie, and I had a relaxing Easter Sunday. On Saturday though it was a little crazy but fun. Our house showed twice and so between getting it clean, keeping it clean, and staying away for a couple of hours I had more than a little bit of anxiety. I kept thinking this is it. We went to the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt. It was a perfect day to be outside. Macie enjoyed looking at the animals in the petting zoo, playing on the toys, and taking a picture with the Easter bunny. We ended up missing the egg hunt because she was really tired from missing most of her first nap and then missing the first half of the second one due to the showings. We also were able to enjoy time with our good friends, Jonas, Kelley, and Tate. While hanging out with them we were told that the couple was putting an offer on our house. So here we are doing all the things you have to do to sell a house and now we will be looking for our new house in the Keller area. I am excited about the move and a little nervous too! I know God has a plan for our family so I trust His Will.

I think she would have had a bigger smile but I just knocked her in the head with my big camera while bending down to pick her up because she was running to the bunny while another kid was getting his picture taken.

Walking up to see the Easter Bunny

Daddy and Macie looking at the animals.

Crazy horse!

Colored chicks!

Ok, so I think Macie looks adorable(I know I am her mom). I love dressing her up!

Macie climbed up all by herself for the first time. She was so proud!

Daddy is mowing and he didn't ask me to help!

Where's Daddy?

Macie is putting her hands up all the time when you ask her where something is at?

Hanging Out with Tate

Yesterday Macie and I met Kelley and Tate at Firewheel. It was a beautiful day but a bit windy. We ate lunch, watched the kids play on the toys, and shopped some, too. Macie and Tate had a good time with one other. I swear Macie even said "Tate."I enjoy watching Macie interact with other little kids. Tate just turned 2 and seems so grown up. We enjoyed our time with our great friends!

Waiting on Tate!
Macie decided to get up inside the showcase right after this. She doesn't stand as still as the manikins. She kept trying to throw her cup of water in there so she could go get it.

"Should we sit be each other or not?" (Tate has the beautiful blue eyes.)

Going in for the kiss!

Macie must have been shocked or something. She didn't know she was supposed to close her eyes.

Macie "kissed" him back. She will sometimes give real kisses but usually gives hugs when we say give kisses.
