Johnny, Shaylee, and Macady Hacking: 9 Months Old

My sweet baby Macady is 9 months old today! I can't even believe how fast these last 9 months have gone. They have gone by alot faster than they did when I was pregnant thats for sure! She is such a joy in our lives! She keeps us on our feet and always wondering what is going to come next!

She has 5 teeth with two breaking through as we speak! She crawls ALL over the place and is into everything she can reach! She also can pull herself up on pretty much everything and she can walk from one end of something to the other. She likes to play patty cake and she likes it when I sing along to any song that is playing at the moment. (It doesn't sound the greatest, but she seems to think so!) She also loves theme songs on any TV show or movie that we watch (The Office, How I met your Mother, Grey's Anatomy) I don't know if it something in the jingle or what but whatever she is doing she stops to dance either standing up or sitting down and then when it ends she is back to getting into trouble! She has an absolute MAD love for the bath! If it is running she is standing by it! (We have to be very careful not to leave the room when the tub is filling or full) And don't even try closing the door to keep her out. She sits and bangs on the door and screams because she knows someone is taking a bath without her! Lol.. She also loves to help "Load" the dish washer. Which entails her unloading it as you put it in! She doesn't really eat baby food she just eats whatever we are eating for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. She loves it all. Her favorite fruit is watermelon and she loves chicken. She does this with every item that I put away anywhere. (Toys, laundry,) you get the idea. We are still nursing every 3-4 hours and we start weening next month.. So crazy! She has pretty much veto'd the binky. She will only take it for about 1 minute when she is falling asleep and then it gets spit out. but that is only some times. She takes 2 two hour naps a day. Occasionally they can be longer or shorter but they are pretty exact. She goes to bed at 9 and wakes up around 2 to eat and goes right back to bed till 7 and then we are up for the day. Somedays we get lucky and get to sleep till 8 but that's pretty rare! She is always up within 2-3 minutes of 7 in the morning! How do they do that?

Last week was quite the week! Macady was on one and sheh decided to grab a glass full of red cherry limeade that was out of reach and pull it off the entertainment center on to my white carpet. I about had a heart attack! So while I was in the process of using as many cleaning supplies as I have in my house she managed to find a water bottle and pop the lid off of it and was partially choking on it and couldn't get it out of her mouth. In my complete panic I had to decide between letting her choke while I went and washed the cleaning products off my hands and then run to her aid and pull the cap out of her mouth or I had to take the chance of her getting poisoned by the supplies on my hands and get it out of her mouth and not let her choke to death on it.. I went with the poison. So I quickly got it out and then finished my task of getting the red out of my carpet. Needless to say Pintrest is AWESOME and I got it all out. Use baking soda, 409 spray and hydrogen proxide followed by scrubbing and then using a white towel on top and then iron all over it. It soaked it all out and onto the towl CRAZY but totally worked! Got every bit of it out.

Anyways! Thinking that we had gone through enough followed the next day of Macady falling down the stairs because the baby gate didn't get shut! She was done crying by the time I got her upstairs but I wasn't! I was distraught! I was sure she was going to be dead or something broken! I felt like the mom of the century with that one! But all is well and we are all still alive! Hoping that we won't have any more "Spills" for a while!

I am starting to plan Macady's birthday party! I can't believe in a few short months she will be one! It's so crazy!! Here are some pictures and a cute video of her laughing! She cracks me up! I entered it into Americas Funnies Home Videos! :)
