Scrub-a-Dub-Dubby, Macyn's in the Tubby!

We bought Macyn a new bathtub - a blow up ducky tub that quacks! She was getting too big (long) for her smaller tub, but still too little for the big tub. We figured this one sized right in between would be just right...and I think she likes it a little more too!

Library Laughs

Soooooooooooo DH, myself, and Macyn decided to go to the library today which is actually funny in itself because 1) I don't read. 2) DH doesnt read. 3) Macyn can't read. So why do we go to the library? For FREE movies of course! We ended up getting Slumdog Millionaire, Accepted, and Glory Road. Since we have a baby now, we have figured out that we don't always have time to watch movies. This way we have a week rent and its free, so if we don't have time, we aren't wasting any money. And besides, the last movie DH and I went to in the theater was when I was still preggo. So really, Slumdog Millionare is a new release to us.

I decided to break out of my shell and browse the books and magazines. I picked up a baby cook book - one to make your own baby foods and a slow cooker recipe book. I also decided to pick up a couple of American Baby magazines - lets face it, What to Expect the First Year sometimes gets a little boring.

So where does the "library laughs" part come in? When Josh, Macyn, and myself went to check out, Josh goes "Baby magazines?!" and I say with a dumb look "um......we have a baby?" and apparently that is the most humor the librarians get in a day because they both started dying laughing. One chimed in and goes "Men are totally clueless." Needless to say, I laughed pretty hard, and DH felt kinda dumb. haha. I think its a you-had-to-be-there moment!

4 Months Old!

As of February 14, Macyn is officially 4 months old! It has been quite a rough past month with a trip to the ER, Dr. visits just about weekly, and a case of RSV. Hopefully she had her last bloodwork done today. Other than that, it has been an exciting month! It is amazing how quickly they grow up. At her 4 month check up, she is 12lbs 12 oz (25%-50% percentile) and is very tall at 25.5" (90th percentile)! She has grown a whole 3 inches since her last check-up. It seems like every week she learns a new skill. First, she completely holds her head up, rolls over from front to back, makes high pitched squealing noises, laughs, and grabs for toys and smiles constantly. She loves playing in her bouncy seat and can even grab the toys and make them make noise! She kicks her legs and squeals - I LOVE that. Its so fun to watch her interact with things and even more amazing how fast she develops. She is starting to get to the "fun" stage and can't wait to see what she can do next! Lets just hope all the Dr. visits and sick days are over!

Bargains for Baby

My mom called me this morning and asked if I wanted to go to the overly-priced second hand store here in town, since they were having a 75% off sale. I decided I would go. If you remember, a few weeks ago I went to the same store when they were having 50% off and stocked up on sleepers and other pajamas. I figured today it would be mostly picked over since it was the last day of the sale. Boy was I wrong! There were all kinds of winter clothes and summer clothes too. I couldn't go too crazy though (once you have a baby, you know what I mean). I stuck mostly with clothes I knew she could wear in the coming months and picked up a skort and a dress for the summer. So all together I got 9 items for a grand total of $14. I think this has started to become my new favorite store - when things are on sale of course. Its my off-season of garage sales go to place now.

Look-A-Likes

I get a lot of comments on who Macyn looks like - her mommy or daddy. Most say dh, a couple say me. Most say she has dh's mouth, but not quite sure who's eyes she has... so I decided to let you guys decide....go ahead and take the poll on the right hand side of the page. Here are our baby pictures side by side. Me on the left, Macyn in the middle and DH on the right. Its fun to compare :)
