Maecie is ONE!!!

She only ate the frosting!

Kissy Kissy

She didn't like sitting on the chairs. She always wanted to stand.

Look at that precious face! She honestly couldn't get any cuter!

Sweet baby girl.

I know everyone always tells us time goes by too quickly! This last year has been the fastest year of my life. I am sure they only get faster as time goes on. I can remember being in the hospital holding Maecie for the first time as if it was yesterday. She has brought so much joy into my life. This year has been full of so many emotions. A year full of first for Taylor and I . Maecie's whole life will be first for Taylor and I. Poor girl is a guinea pig.
She has had a terrible cold, but she is finally getting a little better. Dr. Edwards told me she will probably have it for 6 weeks then get better for 2-3 weeks and get the cold again for 6 weeks and then be better for 2-3 weeks before getting it for a third time. He said for some reason most kids that get this cold this year get it three times before feeling much better. I am hoping that won't happen because I have had far too many sleepless nights the last few weeks.
Maecie weighs 20 lbs and is 29 1/2 inches tall. She has always been in the 80-90% for height and weight, but at her 1 year appt she is now 25% for weight and 45% for height. CRAZY!
She took two steps the other night and continues to just take a couple steps before falling. She is a BIG chicken. She wants to hold my hands to walk but I dont even help her she just needs it for comfort I guess. She will walk when she wants to I suppose.

I will need to go to the Dr. in the next month or so to find out if I will need to have surgery again to have more kids. I can tell the endometriosis has grown back but I just don't know how bad it is. We will just have to see what he says. I am not ready for another baby yet. I'm sure the time will come when I am ready but for now I am content with Little Mae.

Summer Fun

Maec had 4 month shots a while ago. Here are her stats...
16.3 lbs - 82%
26 1/4 inches - 94%
Head - 16 1/4 inches - 42%

She is such a tall girl. She must get that from Grandpa Dean.

SO much going on lately. Tenille and Doug are married. The reception was BEAUTIFUL. Those Hix girls know how to throw a party!!!

I now work from home...no more leaving Maecie!!! WHOOHOO. I love it. This is my first week home and I couldn't be happier. We have fun.

My aunt invited us to Ross park with her boys a few weeks ago. We invited Randi and Paige to go as well. It was a big party. Maecie loved it. Ethan and Paige weren't too sure about it. We had fun anyway though.

Dr appt.

Her bandaids!

Her cute little outfit today. I send the family a picture of her each day so they can see how much she changes. Its amazing how much she changes from day to day.

Maecie had her 2 month appointment today! I can't believe she is already 2 months! How time flies!!

Weight - 11lbs 7 oz (62%)
What a chunk at her 2 week appt she was only in the 5%!!!
Height - 22 3/4 inches (68%)
Head - 15 3/4 (72%)

Today when Dr. Edwards was looking her over she was just talking and smiling at him. He was amazed at how much she "talked" and smiled at him. He said he had three 4 month olds in there before Maecie and she was "talking" more than they were. She LOVES to talk and smile!

She was all smiles until they gave her the shots! She cried a cry I have never heard out of her before. POOR GIRL! I cried too! It was so sad. But she has to have her shots to keep her healthy! It was still super sad though!

2 weeks

Maecie had her two week appointment yesterday.
6lbs 8oz - 5th percentile
20 inches - 28th percentile
Head circumference 14 inches - 31st percentile

We are excited to not have to go back to the Dr for 6 weeks. We have been in there every two days for weight checks because she was so small and not growing. She finally had a little growth spurt and is doing great.

When we were in the doctors office she giggled and cooed at the Dr and he said he was amazed because babies normally don't giggle or coo until ATLEAST 2 months. She is pretty much a genius! haha

Maecie loves to sleep on her daddy's chest.
I have loved watching Taylor interact with her. She is going to be so spoiled.

On February 27th, I took Maecie to my friend Leah to get her pictures taken. Maecie pooped allover the props MANY times. It was so bad, I was completely embarrassed. SORRY LEAH!!! I am really excited to see all her pictures. Hopefully we will have them soon! I will make sure to post a few when I get them.
