Macayla has found her voice!

In the past week Macayla has "found her voice". She "talks" all the time! It seems like she is trying to carry on a conversation with everyone and everything! It is so cute. Over the weekend we were woken up not by hearing Macayla cry over the monitor but by hearing her "talk". I love it!

Busy! Busy! Busy!

This week being the head volleyball coach took full effect! I've been at the high school the past 3 days almost all day long. For some of you I'm sure that doesn't sound like fun...but I'm loving it! As a part of the district summer school we run a volleyball camp. I've been working with the younger kids and it has been great! A teacher I work very closely with has a daughter attending the camp. She came to me in May and asked if she could watch Macayla during camp. When I questioned "are you sure???" she practically insisted. Our schedule the past couple of days:

• 8: 45 go to the YMCA (I workout, Macayla hangs out at kids corner)
• 10:45-12:30 go to the high school (I teach vball camp, Macayla hangs out at the pool with my friend while her younger children are in swimming lessons)
• 12:30-3:00 Macayla is brought back to me and we hang out during open gym or varsity volleyball league

Macayla has been great! What is nice is that summer school only lasts until July 3 and once that is over we will only have to be at the high school a couple afternoons a week. This week has just been hectic b/c it is the first week of camp, open gym and league. I have OUTSTANDING assistant coaches who share in the responsibility of supervision.

Congrats!

Congrats to our friends Kim and Brandon on the birth of their beautiful baby boy, Carter Vincent. Carter was born yesterday on June 13. :)

Rolling Over

Well its official! Macayla can roll over! Although she doesn't do it ALL the time...on several occasions in the past few days Macayla has rolled from her belly to her back...both to the right and to the left. Yesterday I had her on her belly on a blanket in the living room, I went to the kitchen for only a minute and by the time I came back she was on her back. I put her back on her belly, Jason got home...I went over to the entryway to say hi to him and when we got back to the living room she again was on her back! The next step is from back to belly. I think we have a while until she will do this, but she is making gains toward it. When she is on her back, I will lay next to her and she will roll to her side so she can place both hands on my face. It is very cute!

3 Months Old!

This past week Macayla turned 3 months old. Here are somethings she can now do:

• lay on her tummy for up to 10-15 min w/out crying
• grasp onto objects
• pull objects and things to her mouth
• wants to suck on everything possible!
• chews on her fingers
• brings hands together
• loves "talking" to herself in the mirror
• graduated from the bassinet to the crib
• graduated to the larger size bottles
• sits up with minimum support
• blows lots of bubbles
• plays with her fingers when she brings her hands together
• lots of smiling
• trys to giggle...comes out like a mini cough
• sleeps 10+ hours most nights!

Splish! Splash!

Tundra Lodge

My cousins came up this past weekend to meet Macayla. They stayed at Tundra lodge, so we went to the waterpark on Sunday. Macayla did a great job in the water! She didn't cry at all! She stayed in the water long enough to experience it and get pictures taken.
