Sittin' Pretty!

Looks who's sittin' pretty these days! She sits pretty well for a while - still working on it though!

My Daddy's Face...There's Nothing Like It!

Macy Kate LOVES her Daddy's face!! I think it's the rough beard at the end of the day or something, but she never touches my face the way she does his - it's adorable! It's the first thing she reaches for when she sees him! She even rubs his face or his ear when he feeds her - she never does that to me! They have a very special bond and I love it!!!

I love that as she grows up, she will look to him for guidance and love and she will find it - something I did not have until I was 15 and my Mom met my step-dad who I feel like was my real Dad. Macy Kate will get the Daddy I never had - and that makes my heart leap with joy!

He will teach her all about plants and about geography (I am terrible at this where things are in the world!) and about Notre Dame football and about Jesus' love for her! I can't wait to see their bond grow over the years and one day see him in tears, giving her away at her wedding to the PERFECT man...he will have to be perfect for Doug to allow her to marry him! HA! So we're praying for that man even now! :-)

I just love to see their love for each other - it's overwhelming at times!

Jump...Jump! Okay...Just hang and be happy!

She may be a little small for this yet but we will keep trying - I am SURE that at some point it will provide hours of fun! Or at least 15 minutes! :-)

Dance Your Heart Out

We went to get Allie for a sleepover last Friday and she and her little sister Maddy put on a show for us! Macy Kate was very amused!! These girls can dance and shake their booties with the best of them! Check out the video - took two takes but it was worth it!

The Twins....They Are Soon To Meet Macy Kate!

Are these not the cutest boys you have ever seen?? After next week, you will see pics of them with an even cuter little girl "smushed" between them! HA!! Macy Kate and I are going to Houston for my sister's wedding. We will be there Thurs. to Sun. and we can not wait! Everyone is anxious to see all three babies together! Imagine sweet pink things between them!!

5 Months...plus a few days (I am behind in posting!)

MK turned 5 months on Saturday - it is so hard to believe!! She is just so precious! She is the funniest, happiest baby I have ever known - so thrilled to just BE in our presence! She might be such a fun baby that she will trick us into having #2 at some point and then we will get a holy terror of a child probably! HA!! But we will still love them!

She is now eating more variety and she loves baby food! She is also very close to being able to sit and she loves to roll over and bite on her bottom li pand make a "fart" sound :-) Here's a few pictures from the day she turned 5 months old!

FINALLY - a dry night of tummy sleeping!

Well, if you have not heard, MK now refuses to sleep unless she is on her tummy! She has perfectly the roll over and now, as soon as you lie her down, she's over to her tummy for a snug night of sleep. Only problem is....she leaks out of her diaper like that! No clue why, but she does.

The last two days I have gone to get her up and the front of her pj's are wet and she is literally lying in pee soaked sheet - I feel AWFUL! I barely slept the last night hoping she was dry and comfy up there. Obviously it does not bother her at all because she sleeps great but as a concerned new Mommy, I hated to think of her up there, wet.

Night #1 I was shocked and upset...Night#2 I tried a big post-delivery pad I had left over, in her diaper 0 I know, funny! Well, this didn't work either! Night#3 I had to find a solution! We have always been BIG fans of Pampers (swaddlers to be exact) and she even leaked out of some Huggies at nap time one day at my sister's, so....when someone at work told me to try Huggies Overnights when she began to leak on her tummy, I was a bit skeptical. But we tried it and it worked!!! I was SO happy when I went up there this morning and she way dry! That diaper was SO full but she was dry - I was one happy Mommy!

I highly suggest these if you have a leaker on your hands all of the sudden!
