STUCK!

Today Maci got stuck in the field for the first time! Actually her dad got us all stuck in the middle of NOWHERE. And of course since it was in the middle of NOWHERE, neither cellphone would get out. So her dad walked back to the house to get the tractor. He lucked out and MFA was spraying a field so he hitched a ride. Meanwhile, Maci and I hung out with the truck. It was a good thing we had plenty of whales, "cookies" (vanilla wafers), and drinks! We had a picnic while we waited. We were just starting to have fun when dad returned (he only took 1/2 hour). I was anticipating much longer. Then we left the tractor and headed out another way. Later Maci and I took dad back to the field to pick up the tractor.

Easter with POPO

Maci had a great first Easter. She got up early and went to breakfast at church. Then after church Grandma Jane had Sunday School, so Maci went to Macon to pick up Grandma Dunham & POPO. She invited them down to Grandma & Grandpa Young's for lunch. She ate up the ham and asparagus casserole. She really likes her green veggies.

Of course the Easter Bunny had visited, he brought her lots of fun stuff. She is playing with a little people dump truck. Uncle Dan & Cassandra brought her a basket with a new dress, shoes, and lots of fun hair accessories. She now finds the bows and tries to put them in her hair. However, she doesn't leave them in for me like she did on Easter. She keeps taking them out of her hair. Also, since Easter one of her favorite toys is the pinwheel she got from Dan & Cassandra. The Easter Bunny left her a couple CD's and she seems to enjoy them. Grandma & Grandpa Young think that I will get very tired of them. So far so good...

Today was a beautiful day. The first one in a while, so Maci, Foster (the dog) and I took a walk as soon as we got home. She has just learned to point (today is the first time I have seen her do it). She kept pointing at the dog and saying her version of dawg! She says the same noise consistently, so I really think she is referring to Foster when she was pointing and talking. Then dad came home and, Maci went fishing at the "honeyhole" as her dad refers to it. She got to see her first fish up close. She really preferred talking really loud while eating her lil' crunchies! I think she is going to like picnicing. On the way home we had to stop and watch the turkeys. She was NOT interested in sitting still and being quiet. So we headed home.

We haven't posted many pictures in a while. I have lost the camera cord temporarily. So we are going to have a boring blog for a bit. She has posed for many fun pictures which we will add as soon as we can. I have good photos of her pulling up on the furniture and "cleaning" off the end table. She keeps me on my toes.

Since my last posting she also had her first injury. Her dad was devastated. She was crawling away from him and he was chasing her. She got excited and fell forward and busted her lip. She wouldn't let us put ice on it (she doesn't like cold or hot things) so it swelled up. I wanted to take pictures, but her dad would have nothing of it! I have some that were a couple days later I will share.

We have been having eventful days, but just no time to post them. More to come...

Sick & Tired

Maci has been running a fever again, but is not acting very sick. She woke up Friday with a fever, so we called aunt Amy to rescue us! Aunt Amy said she took a 3 hour nap in the morning and another 1 hour nap in the afternoon. She hadn't slept well the two night previously, so I think she caught up! I called to check on her around noon and Uncle Paul said she was just fine. Grandma Jane was there also checking on her for herself. (She doesn't believe anything I tell her until she can see for herself!) Tonight she still has the fever, but is acting fine. She is breathing good and no flu like systems. I guess we will wait it out and see what happens. She has to hurry up and get better. Today it was almost 80 degrees and she wasn't able to be out much. She love the outdoors, but I didn't think we should be out too much today...maybe tomorrow.

Maci has been posing for lots of pictures this last week. I thought I would share a few. I am sure she will be running from the camera as soon as she can.

Today she spent the day with her Great Grandma & Grandpa Young and her plain Grandma & Grandpa Young. We had lunch at the cabin and supper at her Grandparents' house. She had a great St. Patrick's day. However, I didn't have a green outfit for her to wear. Uncle Dan & Cassandra came by and brought their dog Docker who is growing very fast. He is very cute. Maci loves to watch the dogs play together. They were getting too hyper so Dan split them up for a while. Poor Docker was very sad.

Yoga

Maci has been doing Yoga. She does a great downward facing dog. She had been doing this pose a lot when she was first learning how to crawl.

Sick Again

I picked Maci up today and Aunt Amy reported that Maci had taken very long naps today. I had given her a couple breathing treatments in the last two days. She is all stuffy and full of yucky stuff. I hope she gets better soon. I thought she had been extra tired in the mornings because of the time change. The last few mornings she has not even waken up while I was dressing her. Jeanne will be sad to see the breathing machine show up tomorrow. Nurse Grandma thinks we should do 3 treatments a day to speed along the cold. UGH!
