Macy Grace is 1!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a bit slow getting this posted, but on the 4th we celebrated Macy's 1st birthday.  I honestly can't believe she is one.  I always get emotional around my kid's birthdays.  I love each stage, but I do wish I could freeze time and keep them little.  Macy is an absolute delight.  She had a very mellow first year.  She just took life in...watched Madison and Brennan a lot, took a lot of car rides and stroller rides...but recently she has found her voice and turned into a little fireball!! She keeps us laughing all day.  She is opinionated and silly and into everything!  Her favorite thing to do is to crawl slowly towards some 'no touch zone' and when she knows she has your attention she turns on her turbo boost and high tails it where she knows you don't want her to go and cracks herself up laughing while you are chasing her down. 

She is still a finiky eater...she prefers yogurt at every meal.  She doesn't care what kind...cow milk, goat milk, coconut milk...and it really doesn't matter what you add to it - plain, spinach, applesauce, avacado...it just has to be some variation of yogurt.  I don't know, maybe it is the texture.  She has discovered her sweet tooth.  I think she got that from me and maybe from having access to much more junk that the others did. 

She communicates with ut ohhhh, mama, dada, a bit of sign language and lots of pointing and grunting (and I mean lots - until you get it right!!)

She is still pretty easy going around new people.She does not tend to be very clingy to me most of the time, which is nice.

So, there is a little glimpse in to the personality of our precious blessing. 

Happy Birthday Macy Grace!

One day while the big kids were out, Macy ruled the house and LOVED every minute of it.



Macy has discovered that she loved to swing in the back yard.  There are lots of grunts and points to the backdoor.  Too bad for her it has been a hot and rainy month.

Here is my birthday girl on her birthday morning...she was over the moon to see a ballon (which I must confess was just one of the free ones that they give out a the grocery store...but it is still fun :) )

I am one and I have a cupcake!

And a few gifts which Madison wrapped and helped her open.
