Today Angie and I took the kids to Bay Beach. Macayla and Collin LOVED the rides. At first Macayla wasn't too sure, but it didn't take long for her big smile to appear! It is nice having cousins close in age...9 months apart to be exact! After Bay Beach we came back to our house for lunch and more playing. It was a great day!

16 1/2 months old
Macayla has been changing daily lately. Below are some of the latest things that she is doing:
- climbing on and off furniature
- signs please
- rides her bike
- pushes around her stroller
- wants to be fully independent and does NOT want to hold mom and dad's hand
- loves to go swimming...not new but she is doing so much more independently in the water
- New words include of course in her own way:
grandma (maaama)
grandpa
cracker
thank you
up
Derek (Der), the little boy at the sitter's
Collin (coo), her cousin
- she is starting imaginative play
- likes coloring
- LOVES bananas!
- continues to learn more and more dance moves
- is more conversational in her "babble"
- climbs down the stairs, with us very near by of course
- "reads" her books
- is very good at sharing and taking turns...well, when she is in the mood!
- very interested in babies
- can act like a monkey..."what does a monkey do?"...she puts her hands in her armpits and says "ooo"
- can "moo" like a cow
- Shakes her head yes when we ask her a question
- points to exactly what she wants and pushes our legs to get us to move towards what she wants
And like always, I'm sure there is plenty more of new things she is doing but that is what I can remember for now :).
