Happy Belated Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Election Day & MLK Day and Happy "whatever else we missed" during my blogging hiatus....hope everyone is doing well and having a great start to 2009!
I haven't really wanted to blog lately....been thinking about going "private" (however you do that) or just stopping altogether. BUT.....then someone told me about how you can make all of your blog entries into a scrapbook type thing (is that true?? if so, someone tell me how to do it!) and I figured I better jump back on the bandwagon because the chances of me actually finishing a scrapbook are about slim to none! Not to mention that making your blog private sounds like a major pain - so I better just get to writing! Or posting pictures!
Mac is 8 1/2 months old and we just cannot believe it! My how time flies! He is loving his solid foods - his favorites are peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, yogurt and avocado. He is a great eater (if you haven't noticed) and the only thing he has not liked is rice cereal and I don't blame him one bit! He also LOVES Puffs...thanks to Joanna who visited us and told me that Mac would love Puffs and that we should try them. It only took me giving them to him a couple of times and now he starts getting excited whenever he sees that yellow tube come out of the cabinet! Those things are magic...especially in restaurants or whenever you need something to keep them busy. It has been so neat to see him learn to feed himself - although it does make you a little sad that they are becoming so independent.
As for crawling, Mac prefers the "army crawl" or as some would say, "fireman's crawl" over the traditional method - but he can get wherever he wants to...which is usually under some piece of furniture. His latest thing he loves to do is sit up in his crib and scratch and knock on the wall when he is supposed to be taking his nap. He does this for about 30 minutes before he falls asleep and he has the best time. I hear him just squealing and laughing and I want to go play with him...but I know better!
Have a great day!
Here is a picture of Taylor Swift singing "White Horse". Mary Burton and the girls had seats much closer than ours (Lee Anne and me...a.k.a. the old people) but other than the drunk girl sitting next to us that kept yelling, "Joe Jonas sucks" we had a fabulous time!
