Play Date

Makayla had her friend Ella over to play this week! Ella is 8 days older than Makayla! They had fun playing together while their Moms had fun chatting!

Lounging Around

Makayla found a comfy spot on the couch!

Dad Caught a Smile!

Makayla was having fun playing with Dad! He caught her smiling on camera!

Makayla ate her Wheaties Today!

Okay, so maybe she didn't eat Wheaties, but she did eat some rice cereal! It must have made her strong, because she pulled her little elephant hanging toy right off the velcro string and decided to chew on it! She used to just swat at the elephants, but I guess that's not fun anymore...

Tummy Time

Makayla is getting very good at lifting up her head!

Crazy Hair and Silly Smiles

Makayla's hair is getting so long! If it didn't curl so much, her bangs would be in her eyes! Mom had a little fun with her hair clips today!

Santa Drives a Big Brown Truck?

Santa arrived today driving a big brown truck! I've been doing a lot of on-line Christmas shopping and I've gotten 1 or more packages every day this week! (I even got a package in yesterday's snow storm!) However, today was my lucky day! These boxes ALL arrived on the porch today! Now I'm going to have to order some wrapping paper...

Surprise Sunset

On Wednesday we had a large snowstorm. It snowed from about 3am until 3pm. Then the sun came out just long enough to have a beautiful sunset!

Yum...

Makayla is getting more coordinated. Although it sometimes takes several tries, she can get things up to her mouth now! This is the chair that we have her sit in while we eat dinner! Right now she doesn't get any food, but very soon we'll start giving her some cereal. In the meantime, she eats her toys while we eat our dinner!

Happy Thanksgiving

We had our Thanksgiving dinner with the Evers' side of the family on Sunday and then spent a relaxing Thanksgiving day at Kevin and Rheann's house. We had a yummy brunch and then Makayla played with her cousins, Dad watched football, and Mom played dominoes!

Makayla's wearing her "Baby's First Thanksgiving" outfit! Here she's sitting in the Bumbo chair! It helps her sit by herself!

Here Makayla was more intersted in her toes than in taking a photo! :)

Splish Splash!

Makayla likes to take baths with Mom! She just looks and looks when Mom pours some water out of a cup! She also likes to lay on her back and float (with Mom's help, of course)! She'll push off of the tub with her feet so she can glide through the water!

What's so Funny?

Makayla just started laughing during the past week! She would laugh once or twice in the morning for Mom. On Saturday morning, Dad got to hear her laugh for the first time. Today we were able to get her to laugh quite a bit and we even captured some of it on camera! Enjoy!

Mom's got that camera again!

Here's a photo of Makayla in one of her new Christmas outfits! I've been trying to get a nice photo of her to put in our Christmas cards this year and this is my leading photo! I'm hoping to get a photo with her smiling, but I think she's starting to teeth, so she hasn't been as smiley lately!

Bundle Up

Brrr! It's getting cold! We just got a fleece liner for Makayla's carseat! Along with her hat and mittens, it keeps her cozy and warm!

Makayla and her Bunny

I took this photo of Makayla and her big bunny! Even though she was still in Mom's belly, she got this bunny from Nana and Papa for Easter!

Makayla Talking

Here's a movie of Makayla starting to "talk" to us! Enjoy!
