Another New Trick!

Today I witness Macayla roll from her back to her belly ON PURPOSE, with GREAT effort, TWICE in 10 minutes!!!! It was so obiviously done on purpose! It is crazy how she does something new almost everyday!

Macayla's New Trick!

I LOVE MY TOES!

Toes!

About a week and a half ago I tried teaching Macayla to hold on to her toes. I would bring her feet towards her hands when she was on her back and help her grab on to her toes. In the past week she has really caught on and any time she is on her back she brings her feet up and grabs her toes. I will try to get a picture of it up soon. Hope everyone is staying cool during this HOT weather!

Collin's 1st Birthday Party

Over this past weekend our nephew Collin turned 1 years old. We celebrated his birthday on Sunday at Jason's sister's house. It is hard to believe how quickly this past year has gone. So many wonderful things have happened!

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.
