Maci is now 5 months! She’s been busy since I last posted. She’s had lots of visitors and many new experiences. She’s now got her own crib. She is a champion at rolling over. We had to get her a “big girl” car seat because she’s grown out of her other one. At the same time we got her an awesome bouncer that she can’t get enough of (video below). Grandma McKay came to visit again and Grandpa Gast came to visit for the first time! She got to meet some of mom and dad’s awesome friends from AZ, Ira, John, Ryan, and others who were in town for a moped rally. She also got to meet her second cousins, Brendan, Lucas, and James. Ira’s mom made her a great quilt that has a lot of different colors that she loves to look at and she also knitted her some adorable little socks. She absolutely loves being outside and going for walks. She got her first two teeth and they are sharp little buggers. She’s tried some solid foods and she loves sweet potatoes and rice cereal. We aren’t going to give her too much though until we talk with the pediatrician all about it. We are ready though…we got a highchair and some soft baby spoons! She’s working on sitting. She can sit by herself for a few seconds, but then falls over. Mommy and Maci are taking a trip to Arizona for a week and we are looking forward to seeing everyone and showing Maci where mom and dad grew up. I guess we’ll see if she likes hot weather or not! Also, Sara and Mirah are coming to visit! I can’t wait for them to meet…they are totally going to be best friends! Mirah’s gonna tell Maci all about what she has to look forward to in the next two months of her life! This coming month will be pretty exciting. Up next will be eating more solid foods and sitting on her own and then on to crawling…oh man! Check out the 300 pictures below =)
