The Gentry's: Macy Update

Macy girl is growing like a weed right now! I am really enjoying watching her become so much more independent and learning to do things on her own. Well, it's bittersweet:/ She can strap herself in her carseat now and I never knew what a blessing that would be! It's so nice to just put Eden in and let Macy get herself in. She's helpful around the house and the fact that she's inherited some of my OCD has helped in ways:) If she sees something out of place, she will put it where it belongs without having to be asked. Her new favorite show is "Doc McStuffins" and she requests it all the time! It's funny how she goes through phases with shows. She's still real sensitive to things though. We thought she would love the new Disney JR. show "Sofia the First" but there was one episode about trolls and she's been done with it ever since. They weren't scary trolls, but she refuses to watch it now. I was that way when I was little too.

She is really enjoying playing with Eden more and more. Sometimes Eden cooperates and does what she asks and sometimes she doesn't. But Macy is pretty patient with her:)

She still naps every afternoon although sometimes she will fight it a bit. She still needs that nap, but she's learned how to play in her bed and keep herself awake. She will still eventually fall asleep but it usually means she sleeps until after 5 which makes bedtime a challenge. Lately though, she's been napping so well and long that we've been letting her stay up a little later than sister. She loves this!

Some sweet Macy-isms lately:

She calls freckles "eekles" and loves pointing out the one behind Daddy's ear. She also has one behind her ear, which she thinks is so neat:)
She loves playing games on the computer and one day she told me when she finished, "Mommy, I appreciate your help with the computer very much."
Daddy had a late softball game one Monday night and I thought it would be fun if we laid in Mommy and Daddy's bed together and waited up on Daddy. I thought she would love this, but around 9:45 she said, "Mommy, I can't very much sleep in this bed. These sheets are gray and mine are pink. I want to go to my comfy bed." And she did! And went right to sleep! I had the best intentions for a fun night with her...
One Sunday leaving lunch at Nana and Papa's she said, "Micah and I pushed each other today but that's ok, because that's what best friends do sometimes..."
She asked me last night about Logan and Jackson, if they moved into their new house yet. I told her yes, that they didn't live in Tyler anymore, and she said "But Mommy! I love Logan and he loves me!" Oh boy!
