She's growing and so much fun!

Mckayla is growing like crazy and she is somuch fun! She is constantly making us laugh. Her personality is truly deveopingand she is becoming more and more fascinated by things! Its so much fun watching her discover new things! She is now pushing herself into sitting more often and she also said "hi!" for the first time yesterday! My mum told her to say hi to Zephyr (the dog) and she said "Hi!" It was so cute! She has an amazing love for dogs- our two puppies and my dog at my mum's (Zephyr). She loves to watch them, pet them and gets mad if they walk away before she is done. She is constaly amusing us wih her personality and funny sounds and faces! We just love being her parents!!!!

Hello Again

Hello Again to Everyone! Sorry it has been awhile since I posted on our blog. Life has been busy! Mckayla is growing like crazy and is just so much fun! She is very expressive, very noisy and very cute! She is going through a phase where she does not like to be put to bed so we have been somewhat stressed dealing with this, as well as trying to convince her to eat more lately as well. But she is doing great. She rolls all over the floor- from one side of the room to the other. She does not crawl yet- but she may be like her Mommy and just skip crawling all together. I never crawled and just got up and walked at 10months old. So who knows! She has recently pulled herself into sitting position independently a couple times- so we are watching for this to start happeneing regulalrly. She has also just begun helping turn pages of a book when she is being read to. Also sometimes when I hold my hand up and say hi- she will hold her hand up too and yell out something (what I think is her version of hi!). Just so cute!!!

We had a lovely Easter weekend. The day before Easter we had a lovely meal at my mum's place. My best friend and her husband and kids (our godkids) also came and so did Mum's boyfriend Marshall. The kids hunted for Easter eggs (plastic)which they enjoyed. Mckayla had eggs that had pacifiers or a teether in them. She also had some empty ones. The other kids got eggs with candy an stickers. Mckayla loved rolling around on the floor playing with her easter eggs! On Easter day we had another lovely meal- this time with James' family. Then in the evening my sister Heather and her husband Reid came over to our place to eat. A great day was had by all!!!!

We are in thr process of tryig to get our house sold. We have had an offer and are waiting on the bank now. We hope to move to the east valley closer to James' work, my family, our church, and my best friend and her family. Once we move to the east valley I may go bac to work just one day a week.

Anyway that's our family news for now!
