Macayla's Christmas!

We took some pictures of Macayla at her grandparents house and she had so much fun there and got lots of good gifts!

Christmas with Tori!

Hi!

Thanks for the pic Auntie Brandi!! My pretty girl!

Whats up!?

We went up North last weekend to celebrate Macayla's first Christmas since I work the day before and day after. We took TONS of pictures and Macayla got some really cute clothes and nice toys. I'm still waiting for pictures to be emailed to me so I can post them for everyone! stay tuned......

Already feeling the love from the boys!

Macayla was trying to push him away but she couldn't get away from Frankie who was showering her with kisses and hugs! Macayla was giving him some kisses on the cheeks but when he would reciprocate she would push him away! GOOD GIRL! haha

At her 9 month check up!

She loves ripping the paper that you lay on at the doctors office! Hey, you leave us waiting 20-30 minutes, were going to make a mess in there!
Dr. Browne advised that she's about 19 pounds, 2ft 5 inches and she's also borderline anemic so we need to kick up her iron intake as much as possible! Overall our little sweetheart is doing great.

After the bow is out!

Before she was about to take her bath, we took the bow out of her hair and she went from "cute" to "punk" with a mohawk!

My bow!

Chris at the day care did her hair in a cute ponytail with a bow! She looks older with her hair up! =(

YAY! I'M 9 MONTHS TODAY!

Our little girl is growing up so fast! Can you believe that in 3 MONTHS she will be ONE?? That's so crazy to me, I remember when I first brought her home and how little she was! LOVA YA LIL MAMA!

Posing...

Looking oh so cute on her Winnie the Pooh blanket. We have pictures of her when she was first born and she was barely bigger than Winnie the Pooh! Now look at her!

Cruising!

She loves "driving" Daddy's truck! She even makes little motor noises and will honk the horn by bumping her belly against the horn. =) You've got plenty of time before you start driving mama!

TEETH!!

We were FINALLY able to get a picture of Macayla's bottom 2 teeth! Tori had to wait until she was sleeping! (DUH, why didn't I think of that?) She now has 2 coming on top as well so she has been fussy lately but she's our little trooper! Thanks for the pic auntie Tori!!

What's for dessert Mom?

Riding on the train!

Macayla was driving the choo-choo train at the Camarillo outlets. She LOVES driving anything!

Macayla being fiesty!

Macayla has had a snot nose and I was cleaning her face and she gets so mad when I do it! Look at that look she gave me!

MACAYLA'S 8 MONTHS!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, were dorks and got her an 8 month b-day cake just because if there's any reason to have a celebration, we will do it! =) We went to Madre n Padre's (my in-laws) for dinner and had a good time! I can't believe in 4 more months she's going to be ONE YEARS OLD!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Macayla BARELY woke up when I had to put this on her, so she's a little tired in this pic. I will add pics later of her actually awake! Our little ladybug!

Macayla posing for Erin at her party!

My friend Erin had a housewarming/baptism party at her house and she was snapping pictures of Macayla and she was totally cheesing it rolling around and striking poses! This was the only pic I could snag from Erin! I'll get the rest!! =)

Macayla driving......

Macayla LOVES taking over the wheel in Daddy's truck!

Looking cute in her car seat....

Even though you obviously can't tell in this picture, but Macayla has 2 lower teeth!! Of course hell will freeze over before I can get a dang picture of them. We always try to check them out but of course she gets mad and pushes us away or if our finger is in her mouth she'll just bite down with her sharp teeth! SOMEDAY, we will get a good pic and post it on here.

ANOTHER pic mom......

Even though she's not smiling, I still like this pic, slobber and all. That sweater is 18 months!! She can fit bigger shirts & sweaters but fits 3-6 month pants!

My favorite picture!

This was the best pic of them all! We got this in an 8x10! =) Love you angel!

Macayla's smirk!

Macayla upset during the pictures!

Poor Macayla was not happy in that little top, because we found out Grandma accidentley bout a 3 month size instead of 6-8 months! No wonder she was cranky!

No teeth yet!

Macayla happily flashing her gummy smile!

Looking cute at the park.....

Sitting on Grandpa's lap while he was drinking a beer trying to get a sip! She's even drooling for it! LOL You still got a LOOONG way to go little mama!

Her first piece of candy....

She doesn't have any teeth yet, and normally she sucks on the sucker for about a minute and throws it down but she still loves the flavor! Plus, it's her first experience with candy! =)

With Grandpa at the park in Santa Rosa!

This last weekend we went up North to see Grandma and Grandpa, Macayla had a ball hanging out with everyone.

My sleeping angel =)

Macayla sleeps in the funniest positions. Every thing from her butt in the air, to having her hands pulling on her shirt, to fetal position where it looks like she's about to kiss her toes!

I LOVE THIS PIC!

WhileI was getting ready, Macayla was hanging out with Daddy looking out the window and I had to grab my camera! Especially with her "I love daddy" on the butt! Too cute!

Tummy time!

Macayla is usually pretty good at entertaining herself with her toys. =)

Chewing on her keys!

Riding high on Daddy!

Grandpa & Macayla

Hanging out at the hospital waiting to see Tia Patty's baby Natalie! Grandpa entertaining Macayla. Not sure if she's having fun or scared?

Macayla passed out after her 6 mo shots =(

I remember when Macayla barely fit her car seat and now her feet hang over!

My princess in the making!

My pretty girl

Too much fun in the laundry basket!

Helping Mommy w/laundry!

Last night we gave Macayla sweet potatoes and she loved them!

I wish I had a better picture but this was the first day I met with Chris at the Alvarez Day Care and she's WONDERFUL w/Macayla and Macayla is always happy when I drop her off and when I pick her up. THANKS CHRIS!

SMILEY....

Who can resist that adorable smile! It's nice when you can actually catch it on camera!

My new walker!

Another new toy from Grandma Janis! This is the best, especially when I'm making dinner! She can play and watch mommy cook.

Looking too cool...like always

Eating out!

When we went up North last weekend for a wedding, Grandma got Macayla a seat cover for shopping carts as well as the high chairs used at restaurants.(Get out of the pic Tori! LOL) Thanks Grandma Janis!
