Macady's birthday was in October and it was a blast! We had a whole house full of guests and she was purely spoiled rotten.. We need a bigger house to fit all her toys in. :) She had a blast and was very excited with all the new things to play with.
We have been going to this place called "The Little Gym" and Macady LOVES it! She has learned to walk on a balance beem, do a summer sault, hang from rings, throw a ball, kick a ball, run, and a million other things. We look forward to every Friday morning. :)
Since Macady was born she has always had an attitude, she was always sassy, and even a little down right cranky all the time. In her early months we had been ran through the ringer trying different things. I went off dairy while I was breastfeeding because they thought she might have a dairy intolerance. She never had normal poos (TMI). We pretty much got passed off as being a fussy baby and that was it. Nothing more was said nothing more was done, I just had to deal with it. We couldn't ever go out to dinner with her because she wouldn't sit in the high chair for more than five minutes before having a melt down. She never woke up happy, she was always crying. I always pictured my child being excited and smiling to see me when I walked in to get her in the mornings and after naps, and she never was. I was beyond frustrated and was determined to find an answer. Surely there was a happy baby in there somewhere. Finally a little after Macadys' birthday my lower back had been hurting and I had thought about how I had gone to the Chiropractor the whole time I was pregnant and it got me through my pregnancy. WAIT!!! LIGHT BULB.. Maybe that is what is wrong?! Maybe she has a pinched nerve or something?! So I did some research and found a Chiropractor that specializes in pediatrics. He got us in right away for an analysis. After doing some scans on her sure as heck she was pretty messed up! He showed me all the spots she had problems. Her tail bone was in her lower back LITERALLY in her lower back. He said he was sure she had been in pain her whole short life. Also when she walked her left leg turned out just slightly. And if you remember our birth story she was very tangled up with her left leg up over her neck wrapped up in the cord, hence the slight turn out. My poor baby!! So after 2, just 2 adjustments she was HAPPY!!!! She had normal not water poos, she was drinking whole milk (which I was told she probably would never be able to do because she was going to be intollerant), she would fall asleep in my arms, she woke up HAPPY and smiling! Not only that she was sitting through dinners without crying. She would listen to me when I was talking and then she started running. :) My baby is officially a happy child. (Minus the inbetween spits of still being a child and teething) I love her to pieces, I always have, but it sure makes it more fun when they are happy! I will for sure be taking my next child to him when its born because I don't want my next to be feeling the way Macady has for so long! Poor baby! So since the first of November I have had a very happy child that is a constant chatter box. I am just hoping that some day all of it will start making sense because right now it just sounds like mumbo jumbo. She did say her first Official word the other day though.. Apple. :)
Macady took 6 weeks of swim lessons and thought it was pretty awesome! She loves the water, she gets very excited and kicks like crazy! She can jump off the edge to us, get dunked, and went down the water slide with daddy. She thinks its pretty fun. So we might have a gymnastic swimmer on our hands!
We went to the Denver stock show to watch grandma show, while we were there we went to the petting zoo and got to see lots of babies. Donkeys, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, alpacas. Macady was kissed by a goat and bit by a pig :/ Chelsea and I got attacked by the very hungry alpacas!!

She is growing up so much!! It is so sad to not have a "baby" any more. Everytime I see one or hold one I cry! Yeah talk about pathetic! Lol.. Someday we'll have another one! For now I just think we will enjoy our big girl!! She got her second MMR and her first Chicken pox shot today. Those ones hurt. But I just found out that they aren't supposed to get the chicken pox any more! They get one shot when they are 15 months and then the second when they are 4 and they aren't supposed to get them! Strangest things ever and all I can say is LUCKY DUCKS! Those were the worst! I guess it just makes my life that much easier! Well that is all for now! I had better go get the dishes done while someone is sleeping! :)
