Makayla & Daddy walking . Now that she has started crawling, she does not want to be held! She wants to walk. Miss Independent!

Daddy playing with Makayla making her laugh.

Maegan eating some yummy chocolate covered strawberries.

The lion Maegan drew. I was impressed!

Sunday was Joel & my anniversary. He bought Maegan and I earrings. Her mouth in this picture cracked me up! The back already fell off one of them! Thankfully, we didn't lose the bling! The last backs she had were awesome and kept her earrings in, but were literally digging into her earlobes. Makayla hasn't gotten her ears pierced just yet. It's on the to-do list!

Makayla in one her favorite spot in the toy room...the books. She loves pulling all of them out. Her second favorite place is the toy kitches set. She defitinetly plays better by herself! This girl needs the shirt that says" does not play well with others!" Her top two teeth have broken through! She is done with baby food pretty much! She wants big girl food! If you don't give it to her, she won't eat!

Our week in pictures!

Miss Maegan poses herself! I'm soo jealous of her tan!

Wayland finally got his hair cut! He looks soo different. Of course we couldn't get a normal picture. He was playing with the boys and acting silly by having his shorts pulled up really high.

We are almost out of pink sand! I have no idea where it went?? Maegan & cousin Mallory

Makayla trying watermelon for the 1st time at Ian's birthday party. She loved it!

Trevor & Makayla. He loves babies! He told us to bring her to his house and he'd play cars with her. Trevor has a caringpage blog on my sidebar. He was diagnosed in 2007 with Astrocytoma in his brain with some leptomeningeal spread in his brain and spinal cord. He is fighting this just like a true warrior. He recently traveled back to St. Jude in Memphis for and MRI. They are still awaiting results. His fight is not yet over, so please keep this sweet boy in your prayers! He touches the hearts of all those that meet him.

Of course Grant had to come love on Makayla too. He greets her every morning at daycare.

Maegan and cousin Leah picked some tomatoes. Maegan had most of hers eaten before they made it back to the house.

Our Guatemalan fish!

Kaden, about a 1/2 second before he did a nose dive into the pool.

3 little monkies sitting in a bed watching The Aristocats.

Busy body

Her favorite place to sleep. She lasts about 10min in the swing then she's out.

My mom's family came down for a week. This was the first time they have seen Makayla. She didn't wonderful around people she didn't know and adjusted well. We had a great time!

Makayla's 1st word.....

DADA!! Same as Maegan's. When she cries she says it also. When I try to get her to say mama, she just makes a kiss smacking noise.

Makayla is 9 months today!

A few quick pics of the girls before work and daycare this morning. I can't believe in 3 months Makayla will be 1 yr old! Time is flying faster than ever! She has been refusing baby food for a couple of weeks now. There are only a few things she'll eat. It stresses me out, cause I know she is hungry. She is soooo stubborn. If she doesn't want something you will know it. She makes Maegan cry on a daily basis. Little sister is going to be the bully! They play well most of the time. I love it when they are being silly and laughing so hard at eachother. Makayla has started making the kiss smacking sound. That's how she call the dog or gives kisses. The sitter swares she said "duck" today. Maegan is excited to watch the fireworks. We bought her the Shamu Believe DVD and she has to watch it every night before bed and every morning when she wakes up. We are constantly shocked at what comes out of her mouth! Having 2 girls is wonderful, crazy and dramatic!!
