Sisters

Dancer!

Maci started dance class last Tuesday. She has to stay there all by herself - no parents allowed. She has been twice and had a fabulous time. Her grandmother is against the whole thing because of flu season. Maci might have to take a break for a couple months. I hate that she has to live in a bubble all the time!

Hannah goes to the doctor.

Hannah went to visit the doctor 9/29/09. She weighs 12 pounds 2 ounces. I already forgot how long she was...see I need to do this more often.

Hannah is really taking an interst in food. She is smacking her lips everytime someone is eating. It will not be long and I think she will be ready to eat some cereal. I am looking forward to that because it is my hopes she will then sleep longer at night. It maybe wishful thinking!

Wedding

I didn't post anything after the wedding. Uncle Dan & Aunt Cassandra got married this month. Maci will not be a professional flower girl. She was super for the pictures. She can pose for the camera like the best of them AND never gets tired of taking pictures (unlike her Grandma Calista who skipped out before they could even get her picture!). The people intimidated her and she didn't want to go down the aisle. She cried and I had to go fetch her from the back. After the wedding we had the reception and dance, Maci LOVED the dance. She closed the show down and would have stayed for more!

(The real photographer photos will have to be touched up to remove the bruises and scratches on her face!) I can't believe how rough and tough she gets.

Madeline Kidsits

I started to say Madeline babysits, but Maci is far from a baby. Last night I had a visitation to attend, so Madeline came up to watch Maci for the first time all by herself. She did a great job - well of course she did. Maci is a pretty easy kid to sit as long as you have the time to play all her games. Then mom and I brought home pizza and soda. They had a picnic in the living room.

My favorite lesson to Maci from Madeline. Maci was talking about keeping secrets and Madeline told her you tell your mom everything. You should never keep a secret from her. I thought it was excellent advise!

Today Hannah played in her saucer for the first time. She is getting really good at holding her head up. She gets bored with it pretty quickly, but she get bored with everything quickly!

Well she is getting bored now and is starting to protest.

Hungry Marvin

When I am hungry lots of times I will say "I am starvin Marvin" to Maci. Well last night she told me "I am hungry Marvin, I need something to eat!" I tried to explain it, but it never seems to work for me.

Hannah is 3 months today!

Hannah is 3 months old today. Maci think it is neat that she is 3 just like her. The 3 month mark is when the colic magically turns off. We will see. She had been getting better, but reverted the last few nights. She is constantly trying to sit up. She kind of looks like me attempting to do the "full" sit up. ONLY she is much cuter at it. She did roll over the other day from her tummy to her back. She is not a big fan of tummy time, but really just wiggles till she gets where she wants to be.

Maci continues to be a great big sister. She is getting into the food channel. The other morning she wanted her dad to bring her kitchen into the living room so she could cook with the lady on TV. I can't wait for her to cook for real!

We have been discussing Halloween costumes. Maci changes her mind every other day. This week so far she thinks she wants to be Clyde (mom & dad's dog). I am for it. There is a costume at Old Navy and we can get it. Then aunt Lisa would do her spots. I might need to have some creative help in changing the name tag. Hannah is going to be a princess fairy. Of course she will be cute in anything she wears.

Maci is really excited for her Uncle Dan's wedding. I found her new shoes to match her dress so she has been wearing them around the house. She is going to be a great flower girl.
