Maci has made it to the half way mark of her first year! She is doing new things so quickly these days. She started sitting right at her 6 month birthday and she is now a pro. She quickly decided that now that she can sit, she wants to try getting across the room. She is not crawling, but she is definitely scooting. She looks a lot like a wounded soldier pulling herself across the floor with her arms and occasionally using her toes to push a little farther. She’ll also add in a few rolls to go to the side and she will turn in a complete 360 on her stomach in a matter of seconds! Just recently she started making a new sound that is very adorable. It basically sounds like bla bla bla or da da da, but her facial expression is so exaggerated when she does it that it is so funny. A few times now she has pushed herself up into the crawling position on her hands and knees and stayed like that for a few seconds, but then just plops back down on to her stomach.
I finally finished knitting her baby blanket that I started almost a year ago in hopes of having it done before she was born! It is beautiful and so soft and she loves it! I then knit her an adorable little beret and I checked out a bunch of books from the library to get some patterns of other stuff I want to make for her. But, I need to hurry because she’ll most likely grow out of the stuff before I’m done making it!
Dad got a guitar and has been playing it for her all the time and even letting her play it a little bit. The other day he was playing and she was singing…pretty good stuff.
We got our pumpkins from a local farm and we picked our own and carved them yesterday. Maci loved to play with the pumpkin guts…she even snuck a little in her mouth to taste. I don’t think she liked it very much though.
I’m behind again on posting pictures on here so there are a bunch. They start with Sara and Mirah’s visit and go up to yesterday…Enjoy!!
