My Birthday!!!!!

My day began by getting pedicures with my mom, Paula, Rhea, Jayden, Missy, Payton and Macie. We then went to lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. After lunch, my mom, Paula and I went shoe shopping. I actually found a cute pair of shoes! Macie and I then went home to get ready to go out with Michael. Michael took Macie and I to PF Changs for dinner (my favorite restaurant). After dinner, we did some more shopping. We had a great time together and Macie was great!

Birthday Shopping

Today my mom took me shopping for my birthday. It was so much fun! We went to the Florida Mall and the Mall of Millennia. Today was the first time Macie has ever sat up in her stroller by herself. She loved shopping! Just like her mommy. She looked around at all of the different colors and stayed awake almost the whole time. It was so much fun not having to rush and being able to get things for myself (since I never do that anymore). We ate lunch in the café inside Nordstrom’s. I really had a great time being with my mom and Macie!

Macie 3 Months

WOW!!! Macie is getting SOOO big! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. She was exactly 3 months on my Birthday which was just a couple of days ago. I love being a mommy. She is such a blessing in our life. I can't even imagine life without her. She is starting to enjoy playing with toys. She especially loves any kind of toy that lights up! She is still kicking her feet like crazy. She is only waking up 1 time during the night. She also has started sucking on her hands again like when she was first born. She is truly a gift from Heavenly Father.

Macie & Mommy

Here are some pictures of Macie and I. She looks looks more like her daddy but is SUPER cute!

Best Buds

Macie and Jayden are best buds. Jayden takes off crawling after Macie every time he sees her. Even though Macie is still pretty small, she loves to look at him and even smiles at him sometimes. They will probably be great friends in the future.

Carnival

Michael, Macie and I went to the carnival with Michael's family. We had a blast! Since I'm not pregnant anymore we were able to go on fun rides. We weren't feeling well after we left because of all of the spinning... but it was worth it. It was so much fun watching all of the little kids enjoy the rides. Macie stayed awake for a few minutes amazed by all of the bright lights but soon fell asleep for the rest of the night. It was a great night :).

Macie is growing up!!!

Macie is really getting big! She is a little over 2 1/2 months old now. The other day I was driving in the car and kept hearing noises. I turned down the radio and then realized that the noises were coming from Macie. She has started smacking her lips together making kissing sounds and kicking her legs like crazy!! She loves riding in her car seat because she gets a good look at her little feet.She is such a happy baby... I couldn't have asked for more. We will post new pics soon!!

Valentine's Day

Michael, Macie and I had a great Valentine's day. Michael cooked a romantic dinner :) and then we watched a movie together on the couch. I loved being able to relax and hang out together as a family. We loved being able to celebrate the day with our new Valentine!! Here are a couple of pictures of Macie on V-Day. Enjoy!

Macie's first laugh

Last night I put Macie to bed around 8:30pm. However, she was up about 30 minutes later. I went and laid down in the bedroom with her to get her to fall back asleep. I began to doze off myself until I heard her laughing. It was so cute!!! I looked down and she had the biggest smile on her face!! She must have been having a good dream :)

Macie's first photo shoot

Today my mom and I had our first photo shoot with Macie. She cooperated really well. She loved to lie on her bunny and look around. We had a great time taking pictures of her.

Celebrating Macie's Birthday

While I was in the hospital we got a visit from our niece Cori. She was so excited about Macie and wanted to celebrate her birthday. She had Cindi buy cupcakes and take them up to the hospital to celebrate. Cori sang to Macie and was excited to eat cupcakes. She climbed right into the hospital bed with Michael and held Macie. It was obvious that she was a big sister. We were so excited about her visit.

Baby Macie

On December 3, 2007 at 6: 29pm Macie Kate McGrath entered

into the world. She was 7lb and 8 ounces, and 20 3/4 inches long. She is the best baby anybody could ever ask for. She sleeps well through the night and is overall a happy baby. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. Michael and I are enjoying parenthood and couldn't be any happier. Heavenly Father has truly blessed us with an angel.

Christmas Parade 12/1/07

Tonight Michael and I went to the Ocala Christmas parade. It was so much fun!!! We loved watching Cori and Kohls faces each time something new drove by in the parade. We ate pizza and hung out on the back of Justin's truck and watched the parade. It was the longest parade I have ever went to, but it was lots of fun!!!
