Crawling is so yesterday



After only a couple of weeks crawling, Macy has it mastered and has moved on to the next stage... pulling herself up to standing.

Today, I turned around to see her standing up while holding onto the gate. Soon after, she was over to the barstool and anything and everything else. I guess this is when the bumps and bruises begin!

And she's off...

Macy started crawling on our 2nd wedding anniversary - what a great gift for her Mommy & Daddy! She's getting better and better each day but I don't think she always remembers that she knows how to crawl. She'll crawl / roll around just fine when she's playing. However, once she is done playing or is just cranky, it's as if she forgets that she knows how to get around and just wants you to come get her rather than crawl over to us. We are having a great time watching her play and learn how to get around. I'm sure the joy will fade for me once she really get's the hang of it and I'm chasing her around the house! But for now, we are just enjoying each new stage and accomplishment.

Yum!

Macy started solid foods at 6 months old. We started with rice cereal and waited the 5 days (to ensure no allergic reaction) and then gave her sweet potatoe followed by avocado. She loves both the sweet potatoe and avocado but seems to enjoy the avocado more. Since then she's had pears, peas (not her favorite), mango, apples, and the latest as of this morning: peaches.
She is getting pretty close to crawling. Right now she is able to get on her hands and knees and rock back and forth. Looks like Daddy will be spending his next day off baby-proofing the kitchen & bathroom cabinets!

Macy cracks up at squirting rubber ducky

Aaron decided last minute to come in and watch me give Macy a bath. He grabbed one of her rubber duckies to put in her tub. It wouldn't float upright so Aaron tried to fill it partially with water. He didn't realize that there was a hole in the ducks mouth and when he sqeezed it, it squirted Macy in the face. She started laughing hysterically. This was the first time Macy laughed without us trying to make her laugh. As you can hear, Aaron and I thought it was pretty funny too!
