Miss Maycee is…

2 months

Isn’t it crazy how you tell people you have a brand new baby and then you stop and realize…nope she is 2 months old already?! How did that happen? Guess it also means I can get my butt in gear and start getting that “baby” weight off. Ughhh…that is an uphill battle.

Remember her 1 month post.


Anywho, Miss Maycee :

is a super sweet baby

rarely cries, she just sort of grunts unhappily when she wants something

is smiley (and it isn’t all gas)

does have plenty of gas though…never had a sweet little baby have such long loud ones. Hudson thinks its hilarious…gotta love little boy humor!

slept 7 1/2 hrs last night

loves to be held and be around people

smiled big at me yesterday when I played hide and seek with her

has the prettiest blue eyes

2 months2

loves to be wrapped up tight

doesn’t mind a bottle

could eat and eat and eat (or at least it seems that way!!)

Life is Busy

Life just gets crazier and crazier. I thought maybe once we were done with schooling things would ease up. I guess they never will. At least we don’t have to deal with the school side of life anymore though. But the rest of it is just busy and three kids that outnumber us is pretty insane. If it wasn’t for my mom and stepdad, I think the transition would have been even more rough! They are HUGE lifesavers!!

Here was my weekend:

On Thursday night, I went with my mom to scrapbooking night with a bunch of my aunts/cousins. I have seriously been missing out the last few years. We made some darling gift boxes. I got a good craft fix!

On Friday, my fun crazy aunt from SLC flew up and all of my aunts and a few cousins went out to lunch. It is always fun times when we get together. You never quite know what will happen!

On Saturday we went to Boise State and watched the game down at the Student Union Building. I hadn’t been there since probably when I was attending Boise State back in 2000. Wow! That was a LONG time ago!! The game was awesome, the snacks good and the company was great!

Yesterday, Miss Maycee and I went to our first full Sunday of church. It was good times and definitely had been missed. The only downside to it was that we missed out on our 3 hour nap!

I have been working on some new patterns for my shop here. Some are listed, some are waiting to be typed. I swear my to do list just gets longer and longer!!

We also have a dress up party for Mike’s work to get clothes for. I haven’t ever had to wear a cocktail dress…well not since like 2001 or something crazy like that. I think I need some more dress up functions to go to. It has been WAY too long!!

Luckily we are almost done Christmas shopping and I hope we get a chance to “enjoy” the season instead of just being bombarded by everything there is to do.

Rock this world

Nothing like a little Rockband to add some fun to an evening…

This is good…

Just a few things that are good right now:

 

Hadley did give up her paci and is taking naps again despite the fact that she is getting all FOUR back molars right now.

 

Maycee slept for SEVEN whole hours last night. Yes. It is pure bliss.

 

Hudson is still loving preschool. And he LOVES to count to 100 for me all by himself while he waits for his lunch.

 

We met with our mortgage lady right before Thanksgiving…who is AWESOME by the way. And this week we are meeting with our realtor for the first time. I CANNOT wait. I want to be in a new house SO bad! I love our family and all but having our own house again has been 4 1/2 years in the making and I am giddy to get painting, decorating, wainscoting, and everything else that is all about having  a house!!!

Yummmm

It has been FIVE years since we have been with family for Thanksgiving.

Roll Over

003

Look at that chunk.

017

It is amazing at how fast they go from newborn baby to  chunky (almost) 2 month old!

005

Miss Maycee is happy to report that she rolled over onto her back yesterday from her tummy! 011

Hooray!!!

012

AND she is getting TWO teeth!!! How insane is that? She seems WAY too young to be teething!

Playing Around

022

Hadley has finally become interested (a little) in playing with toys. She LOVES to play with dolls and wrap them up in their blankies.

Hudson loves to color…and cheese it up for the camera too! He wears his pjs all the time. He loves to put them on in the afternoon…he says he wants to wear his “comfy clothes.” He must be my kid!! haha

078

Hadley is OBSESSED with this Boise State shirt. She wears it to bed almost every night and wants to wear it everyday. She literally cries when it has to be washed. Guess we all have our favorite things!

Just cuz

007

Hadley has the worst case of bed head of anyone I know. She gets it ALL the time. She also refuses to keep pigtails in. She only will keep them in on Sunday until we are driving away from church, then out they go. I know one day she will wonder why I never did her hair cute….
