The Adventures of a Cheerio!

Recently, we've given Macyn some Cheerios to play with/eat while sitting in her high chair. She mostly pushes them around on the tray. She doesn't quite have the ability to use the pincer grab with her thumb and index finger so she has to think of more creative ways to get them into her mouth. Occasionally she'll grab a hold of one in her fist and lift it to her mouth. Sometimes the Cheerio will fall back onto the tray or onto her lap but sometimes she manages to get it inside her mouth. Another method she uses is pushing it around the tray until she manages to flip it on top of one of her fingers. Then she'll slowly bring her finger to her mouth and push the cheerio in with her left thumb. Very cute! She is so creative!!
This morning I was feeding her oatmeal and peaches and she was playing with a few cheerios and she managed to get one in her mouth but after sticking her two fingers in after it, she managed to flip the cheerio onto her face. Luckily, before I picked it off, I had enough time to grab the camera and take a picture! Enjoy!!!

Macyn at the Pool

Poolside...Gotta Love the South!

Today was a pretty nice day to hang out by the pool! The weather was just right, not too hot and not too cold and there was plenty of shade for Macyn to roll around on the towel set out for her on the ground. The towel was pretty large but she kept testing the boundaries by going to the far edges every time! She was loving sitting on the side and kicking her little feet in the water. We bought her a little floatie that she can sit in under a nice canopy and she loves to float around and kick her little chubby legs in the pool! She is SO ready for the beach!!!

Macyn Playing Peek-A-Boo!

Where's Macy?

Macyn has learned the rules of peek-a-boo and she loves to play it whenever she gets the chance. Yesterday, she was playing with a pair of Dax's shorts that were laying around and she put them over her face and I asked, "Where's Macy?" She took the shorts off her face and I yelled "There she is!" I didn't think she got the point of the game until she put the shorts back over her face and I asked again, "Where's Macy?" and she pulled the shorts off and I yelled "There she is!" She gets a kick out of playing with whatever she can get her hands on whether it's a pair of daddy's shorts or one of the throw blankets. It's amazing how smart she is! I can't wait to see what game she learns next!

Army Crawl

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!
