Sorry its been so long since I’ve updated.

Saturday Grant and I had so much fun…we did all of our Christmas for Macie!  I never knew it would be so much fun!  The whole time we talked about what she’d like and how she would react when she opened it.  Before entering the store, we said that we didn’t want to buy so much it would be overwhelming.  But, as we were pushing our buggy to the car it was so full things were falling out!  So much for that idea.  I’ve always loved Christmas, but this year I am especially excited about it…I feel like a little kid again.  I can’t wait to see her face on Christmas morning!

As of right now, we have a baby gate up in the hallway, latches on every cabinet, and pillows around sharp corners!  Keeping up with her is a challenge.  Just yesterday I walked down the hall and heard water splashing…and there was Macie with her hand in the toilet smiling.  Note to self: always close the lid to the toilet!!!  I may have to buy a latch for that too!

In the last post I said that Macie was getting into everything…now she REALLY is.  Today Grant and I went around the house picking up MORE stuff, covering MORE outlets, and hiding MORE cords.  I keeping thinking we’ve got everything taken care of, but then she finds something that we’ve overlooked.  In the mix of all this, Macie decided she was going to pull up on the end table.  I don’t know how, but she hit her head and up popped a bruise (right in the middle of her forehead).  I’m so glad we took our 9 month/family pictures yesterday.  Although, her school pictures are Tuesday.  We’ll see if it goes away before then.  If not, I guess it will be something to remember.
