macie is 1 month old today! in her first month she has learned to drink, sleep, mess her diaper... lol the obvious things. but she has also smiled a couple times. giggled once, figured out that her feet make her move, her thumbs will help sooth her a little while shes waiting on a bottle. she knows that diaper changes are a good thing. she usually doesn't cry about them. shes learning a lot about faces and people. she has also found her voice. she will wave to certain people if they say hi to her.
i have learned a 3rd isn't a whole lot harder than a 2nd. shes a very good baby and for the most part right now easy to take care of. she usually sleeps at nite between 4-7 hours at a time. she may look a little like ari did but doesn't act or sound like her. i am very grateful for that!!! macie actually cries when she wants something. ari went straight to screaming. she didn't cry for the first several months.
dec 27th was macies blessing day. i wanted to do it close to christmas in hopes that family would be in town and able to be there for it. we did end up with a pretty good turn out. about 25 people at the church and closer to 20 for dinner. i didn't think we'd have enough food but it turned out ok. and macie was a very calm baby all day for it. slept threw her blessing and most of sacrament. tolerated being passed around very well.
christmas morning. the picture of the other 4 of us looking at the camera is the perfect picture of macie.
like their picture taken too
just finished decorating our tree. i did most of it a week ago but was missing some ornaments so we found those and the kids helped me finish.
ari's room has the pink curtain, macie's has the crib and curtis' is the green curtain. we are working on painting his room. the top half is yellow and the bottom half will be dark green.
the living room standing in the kitchen...
curtis and ari wanted their picture taken today. so i decided to add macie to the pictures too.
we had a family christmas party with my dad's brothers and sisters the day after thanksgiving. santa showed up and brought treat bags for everyone. ari screamed. curtis was anxious and had a hard time waiting his turn and macie slept threw it.
