10 Months Old

Macady is 10 Months old this weekend. Everyday this little girl just gives me more to smile about. She is growing and learning so much every day it just amazes me. I sit and watch her and I just picture a clock with all parts moving and connecting. Like how she learned to open the cupboard doors and how she can pull the tail on one of her toys to make it work. She learns so quickly and is so smart. I would love to say that every day is fun and laughs but its not. She knows how to push my buttons and get me to the end of my rope. There are some days that I tell myself that I will never have another child, and then she does something so cute and so sweet, like crawling over and putting her head right on my lap and just smiling at me.. It melts my heart every time! She is my child and I am so grateful to have her in my life! I can't imagine my days without her! She is so close to walking right now its crazy! She has a little push toy that she pushes all over the house and thinks she is so big! :) She can also turn around at the top of the stairs and scoots down. She only gets about two steps down before she turns around and thinks she is at the bottom. She can say things on command now like mama, dada, nana, and she will shake her head back and forth when you tell her No and she says nanananana.. Little stink! We are well on our way to being weened. She nurses first thing when she wakes up, another time before her afternoon nap and then once more before bed. So we are down to 2 feeds a day and she is also sleeping all night from 9-8. :) It's heavenly to sleep that long again. 

Heather and the kids came out for a week before school started and we had a blast! We went shopping, to Water World (Totally awesome place! We are going to make it a family tradition to have them come out every year! We had a blast!), and we went to a trampoline warehouse and played there for an afternoon. I forgot how much I liked jumping on the trampoline! I also forgot that I could still do front handsprings and front flips! We got quite the work out in! 

Speaking of work out! I have been doing Cross fit with Johnny for about a month now and I am enjoying it! Every morning after a work out I feel like I have been hit by a truck but it's all worth it! I am down to lower than my pre-pregnancy weight and I am loving my "Mommy Body". Most days I feel more attractive than I ever did in high school even! So I am glad to be in this stage! 

Lesha also came out over the weekend after Heather and the kids left and she spoiled us all rotten.. She bought Macady a new outfit that is adorable and she bought me a couple pairs of shoes and a couple pairs of... Wait for it.... Skinny Jeans.. I have never worn Skinny Jeans in my life.. I have never thought that they looked good on me until apparently now! :) I am in love with them! I am so glad I was talked into it! She also bought Johnny several pairs of work pants and shirts! He has worked so hard to get the the point he is at now and he looks amazing! I am so proud of him and all he has accomplished! He is such an amazing, selfless person, who would give the shirt of his back to a stranger. I am the luckiest person alive to be a part of his life, let alone his wife for eternity! He takes such great care of Macady and I and is always looking out for whats best for us. He always thinks of hisself last and us first and for that I am so grateful! Our life has it's trials daily but we are able to overcome anything that is thrown our way because we work together and have each other.. For the long haul!!

We are going to Utah in September for my sister and her husband to be sealed in the temple and to their daughter Harper. We are also getting family pictures done for my family and Johnnys' family. We are also having Macady's 1 year old pictures done as well! I can't wait! I am so glad that my sister does wonderful Photography work! Then in October we will be going to Vegas for one of our friends wedding (Macady gets to be a flower girl) And then Macady's Birthday!!! :) My little girl is growing up!!

Stay Tuned for next time! :)
At the trampoline house. We had fun!
