My Little Monster!

Macyn has learned a new sound to add to her noise repertoire. First it was the scream. The constant "Aaah, Aaah" that she would do every now and then when she wanted attention or when she wanted to voice her opinion about something. Then there were the raspberries she would blow for any reason. Just whenever she felt like it. And now, she has her growl. It starts out low and in her throat and then she lets out a little "Grrrrr." I have no idea where she got this noise from but it's funny nonetheless. I wonder what other noises she can come up with! Here are a few pictures at 7 months. Enjoy!

My Little Health Nut!

Lately, Macyn has been doing really well with her solid foods. We recently moved from rice cereal to oatmeal and she is eating it up. I was reading my baby food resource "Super Baby Food" which by the way I LOVE and they recommended introducing tofu to the 7 month old baby. Dax an I were eating Kimchi Jae Yook Bokkum with tofu and we decided to give her a little taste and she LOVED it! I took a bigger piece, mashed it up and added it to the oatmeal and with every spoonful offered she was getting so excited and started kicking her feet! Hmmmm...she loves the tofu! I am so excited and although Dax and I agreed to introduce different foods slowly since her little solid food strike, I can't wait to start something else!

Ready to Go!!!

Macyn is really starting to show signs that she is ready for a new way to get around other than rolling on the floor. She has started pushing up on her arms a lot more. Yesterday, I was reading books to her before bedtime and she was laying in her crib. She pushed up on her arms and then pushed up and stuck her pelvis up in the air. She was so close to being on all fours but then she tuckered out and fell back onto her belly! I just know one day I am going to look down and she is going to be crawling around!! I can't believe how big she is getting, it is truly amazing! I am always in awe when I look at her and how fast she is developing right before my eyes. I am so thankful for her and Dax, my little family!!

Here she is pushing up on her arms. Oh boy, any day now!!

This what I call her Gangsta Lean. Instead of sitting up, she does this. She lays on her side and leans on her elbow. It is the cutest thing! She usually does this and then takes a look around to see if there's anything interesting going on around her. If so, she will try to make her way to whatever peaks her interest, if not, she will lay back down on her back and just entertain herself by kicking her little chubby legs. Hopefully she will push up one day and sit up on her own. She can do the tri-pod position but she usually falls to the side after about a minute.

Last weekend, we took a family trip to Kiawah Island, SC. Dax had a conference to attend along with another fellow and we and the other fellow's family were able to tag along. We had fun shopping, walking on the beach, and hanging out with Christie and her beautiful little girl Savannah. I would have loved to take some pictures of Macyn on the beach but high tide made the sand so hard. We just took a walk and then headed back to the villa. Above is a picture of Macyn and Savannah hanging out and in deep conversation. They were so cute together, rolling around. Savannah knew how to roll from her back to her belly and by the end of the trip Macyn taught her how to roll back from her belly to her back.

Here is another picture of the two of them hanging out at the villa. It's so crazy, when they were born, Savannah was so small and Macyn was huge. Now, Savannah is really starting to catch up and she is even surpassing Macyn is the chubster category!

Here are the two girls sharing Macyn's computer. They looked so cute, the little nerds! Macyn did a good job of sharing her toys although whenever Savannah was playing with something, Macyn looked at it longingly as if she wished she would've grabbed that toy instead of the one that she had. Halmoni said that she must get that from me. She said that I was very into boundaries. I play with my toys and you play with yours kind of thing. I am still kind of like that to this day. I can share but I like to keep things separate if possible! :)

6 month pictures

Macyn had her 6 month pictures taken a few weeks ago and I just went to pick them up today. Here they are! They turned out pretty well considering she started to have a mini meltdown toward the end of the photo shoot. I can't believe that she is 1/2 a year already...where did the time go?

A New Milestone

Get ready food, Macyn Ali is getting TWO TEETH! She is getting ready to do some serious chomping!! She has been drooling and biting on everything in sight and now we know why! I saw two little teeth sprouting this morning on the bottom of her mouth. You can see them and feel them! So far not much crying so hopefully this continues and it doesn't bother her too bad! Can't wait until they grow a little more and we can take a picture of her pearly whites!!!

Dyeing Easter Eggs!

It isn't Easter without egg dyeing! Grammy and Auntie Shanny set up Macyn's first egg dyeing experience. We gave her a plain egg in the beginning and she didn't know what to do with it but she was a good girl and sat in her high chair and watched us dye some eggs. We can't wait until she is old enough to really get her hands dirty and all dyed up!!
Love her face in this picture. She is not too sure of what to do with that cold, egg!!

Smiling and having a good time while we get everything all set up!

Looking up at her Grammy and Auntie Shanny while they pose in front of the newly dyed eggs.

She was ready to get out of her chair! She had fun dyeing the eggs but she was ready for the next fun filled activity with her Grammy and Shanny!

Hanging out at the Park

We had a great time hanging out with Grammy and Aunty Shanny at the park. We set up camp while Dax went to work out. Grammy and Aunt Shanny took Macyn for a little walk around and then daddy came with some fried chicken...mmmmmm! Macyn had a blast rolling around the blanket and even rolled on the grass some. She just can't stay still!
Posing with Auntie Shanny sucking on her two fingers!

Looking at Grammy.

My happy little baby girl!

Rolling around with Auntie Shanny!

April Fool's Day!!

Macyn's first April Fool's Day. Luckily for her, mama didn't pull any pranks on her!
