The Adventures of Macie

Well, as you all know we are a very busy family. We are always on the move. I will try to remember all the wonderful details that has happened this past week. It began with going back to the Bridal Shop to find bridesmaid dresses for Sarah's Wedding. Macie is such the trooper. She just hung out, checking herself in the mirror of course. Then, we found out that the softball game was cancelled. That means No Sharkey's! Macie was a little upset. So we just settled in for the night and Macie hung out with her daddy. And played with her house.
Then, Tuesday and Wednesday were very eventful at Nana's. They went on many walks in the stroller and also Macie trying to walk herself. Nana was daring and they went to Wal-Mart. Nana said they had a great time. She said that so many people had stop and talked to them. What can I say that's what happens when you have an adorable baby!
Unkie Monkey (Eric) & Aunt Christy came over for family night on Wednesday. Macie just lights up when she See's them. Since it was a special day because Macie turned 9 months old. Macie got some ice cream with cool whip! YUMMY! Aunt Christy helped with bath time and then the romping & rolling begun. They all played and played until Macie couldn't play no more. It was then time for a bottle and bed.
Thursday was time to go to the doctors for the 9 month checkup and of course....More Shots! Let's just say that Miss Macie is a Big Girl! She weighed 24 3/4 lbs (99%) and was 29 1/2 inches long (96%). Dr. Reidy said that she is pretty close to being off the charts! He also said that her teeth will be here within the month and don't be surprised if they all don't come at once. GREAT!!

We already got the go ahead to switch Macie to milk starting 2 weeks before her first birthday. I thought, Why is he telling me this but it is only 2 1/2 months away. Scary!! I don't want to even think about that.
After the doctors we ran & had lunch with Nana at the Cobblestone Cafe in Ft. Thomas. Then, we had to stop by and give Poppy the full report. It was then a long day so we finished up at home in the PJ's with Daddy.
Friday we were off and running again we went to the grocery store and made the usual stops. Then, Macie was having a melt down in the car so we stopped by to see Julie. Julie gave her a bottle then I fed her some bananas. Then, Macie met the cats and then performed doing the usual shuffle, ball, step walk. Julie was excited that we stopped by because she hasn't seen Macie in months.
Now the weekend is finally here. Poppy promised Macie that he was going to buy her walking shoes. So, Saturday morning we were off to Nie's in Newport for the shoe fitting. It was literally the fastest purchase ever. Then, it was off to the Sweet Tooth across the street. YAY!!!


We then went to lunch at the Mexican Restaurant and stopped by Aunt Jean's house to dropped off a little sweet treat for Mother's Day! Macie put on her sunglasses and new sun hat for Aunt Jean and then she so to play the piano. Macie thought that she was Hot Stuff! We then stopped by Ft. Thomas Florist for some pretty fern for our front porch. The remainder of Saturday was spent napping on Nana & Poppy while I ran home to do more chores.
Happy Mother's Day!!! Miss Macie surprised me with an awesome gift certificate and beautiful flowers. Actually the flowers were from the first child Libby but, Macie is taking all the credit. We did the usual Sunday morning Church. Macie was escorted out by Poppy for the last 10 mins. She thought it was funny. On the way out she smiled and waved to everyone. We then proceed to Longhorn for lunch with The Houp gang. After that we went to Mamaw & Papaw Miller's and then to grandma Hofstetter's. Finally, it was time to go home for the most exciting part of the whole entire day!!!

Yes, you got it!!! Macie got her new swing set assembled. It didn't take too long. Seeing how excited it made her was PRICELESS! I must say that made My First Mother's Day Perfect!!!! Nana & Poppy came over to help we also grilled out! What a long day.
Today we had fun going to Kenwood Mall with Nana & Aunt Jean. I hope that the running slows down just for one day. Oh yeah!! It is called "WORK"!! LOL!
