New Blog

Ok, I was trying to make our blog stylish, but I couldn't change anything about it, so I started a new blog that will be better then the first! Well I hope it to be. The new blog address is www.meet-the-macs.blogspot.com. Or I think you can just go to my profile on the other blog and find it there, which ever is easiest!

Staying Home

Staying at home with my daughter has brought me so much joy. Watching her every move and being able to see the new things she learns keeps me pretty entertained. She can entertain herself and I can just sit and watch her for hours at a time. She is starting to understand the box with shapes and the shapes themselves. She doesn't quite put them in, but she puts the correct shape on the side that it goes on. She knows the star and the rectangle. She is good with her lion sound and the monkey sound. Yes, I know kids are suppose to know their farm animals. Well we went a different route and started on the exotics. :) She says the word tickle, doggy, oh yeah, and hello. No really, she says oh yeah. She mimics your every move as well. She has said "Momma" once, but never again.

She follows the dog back and forth until he gets tired and just lays down. She tries to have tea party's with him. She knows the tea pot goes with the tea cups.

Ok, I could go on forever, but she is sleeping right now, so I better get some cleaning done.

Happy Birthday Isabella

I can't believe it. Isabella turned 1 today. We got up at 8:00 and played with her new drum and magnets. We got her a tricycle too, but she won't be able to use it until next year. Had our pictures taken at 11:00. Of course Izzy didn't get her nap in before then, so about a half hour into pictures she got really cranky. We got the most important pictures though. A couple in her birthday dress and a few family pictures. They turned out great! After that we went to Grandma and Grandpa's and had birthday cake. She just jumped right in and got her hands dirty. I don't think I have ever seen a baby enjoy eating icing and some cake, like I did today. It was hilarious.

I would like to say that this entire week has been extremely busy. The only time I actually had to myself was on Tuesday when Izzy was napping. I arranged furniture, washed dishes, and did two loads of laundry, oh plus made dinner. We went to the St. Patty's parade yesterday. It was chilly, but I enjoyed watching Izzy watch the people. She loved it. She just laughed and pointed.

Tomorrow I am meeting an old friend for lunch and catching up on our lives. I will probably try to clean my house again, so it's spic and span for Sunday; Isabella's birthday party!
