Let's give it a go...

I've been trying to decide whether or not I should start a blog. Do I really have enough interesting information to share?? Will I be able to keep up with it?? The answer to both questions is probably "no", but here we go anyway!

I am so traditional when it comes to pictures and documenting my memories. I want something tangible! Macy already has a FULL photo album of just birth-4 weeks pictures! But, I'm thinking it is time to join the 21st century and use this blog to document those things as well. I can still keep my photo albums:)

Macy will be 5 months old on the 13th. I know EVERYONE says this but, time really does pass by so quickly once they are here. I went to visit a friend with a newborn the other day and I don't even remember Macy being that little! I do miss that "cuddly" time but I am LOVING the phase she is in now. She is the funniest thing. Josh and I (and anyone who really gives her attention) can get her to smile and laugh out loud so easily. Sometimes, if she's in a girlish giggly mood, she laughs at anything! I mean anything! Josh sneezed the other night and she got so tickled she couldn't stop laughing. It is precious. I love these little interactions I get to share with her. And I love the fact that she already knows her mommy and daddy. She has developed such a fun personality and I can't wait to watch it develop more. What a joy she is!!

I got this idea from some of my other blogger friends. It's a neat way to keep up with her developments each month:

Macy, at 4 months old you are:

• eating 5 times a day
• being introduced to cereal and you love it!
• taking your last feeding at 9:00
• sleeping from 9:30-7:30
• grabbing and reaching for objects
• smiling at anyone who gives you attention
• laughing out loud
• grabbing your toes a lot
• rolling from tummy to back and back to tummy
• recognizing your mommy and daddy
• watching "Baby Einstein"
• sitting in your exersaucer and bumbo
• taking a 2.5 hour morning and afternoon nap
• chewing on your hands 24/7
