Birthday Party's and the 1st BOO BOO

The last few weekends Makayla has had birthday parties to attend...The weather has been beautiful here so being outside at the park is always nice. First we had Ally's 2nd birthday party Makayla had a great time running around and playing on the playground. I only got a few pictures as it is hard to chase around a 16 month old take pictures and talk to friends.

Makayla and Mama
She loved the open field to run in.

This is the poor bird she could not stop chasing...the poor bird just wanted some cake
SOOOOO tired after the party, she could barely hold her eyes open.

The next weekend we went to Alex's 2nd birthday party and had a wonderful time as well. We forgot the camera that day but my friend Kim (Ally's mom) took a few for me. Makayla again had a wonderful time running, playing, and swinging.


That is until she had her first big fall. She was running back to the tent when it was time to sing and eat cake. She tripped and fell on her hands and knees and then rolled and bumped her head. She was pretty upset about her fall. I was so worried about her head I didn't even see her knee until a bit later, she got her first scratch. When she saw it she freaked out a bit I kissed it and it seemed to have made it better for the time being. Until we got in the car where all she could do was point to her knee and say, "owwww Mama ooowwww" It was so sad and so cute. We sprayed a little neo-to-go and put on a band-aid and she is all fixed up. Though for the past 3 nights I have had to kiss her "boo boo" every night and she still says "ooowww Mama oowwww"
Girls what drama!

Playing at Nenny's house

Last week Makayla was screaming "NENNY" so I had no other choice but to bring her to see my sister (Nenny) We went over for the morning and played a little Polly Pocket (Man I wish I had the wardrobe that girl has have you seen some of the things she wears?) We had lunch and played in the back yard. Makayla LOVES my sister and had a wonderful time playing.

Makayla was telling me " NO NO NO" is this picture...she insisted on standing on top of this box that is until she fell backwards into the tree.. and yes my sisters tree is already up!
Makayla and Nenny
Ohh Mom STOP taking my picture
"I think I need a break from all this playing ahhhh"

Tis the season.

This past Sunday my mom decided it was time to put up her Christmas tree.. Yes I know it is a little early but we have our reasons! We are just so excited for Makayla to have a fun Christmas and get into everything. We are ready to celebrate... Makayla had a great time putting the ornaments on the tree. She did fairly well, she held them by the hooks and placed them in the tree..her and I decorated most of the bottom.
She would pick the just the right ornament....
Hmmmm which one?
She tasted more then one...
Had some crazy play time with Daddy...
And then she decided it was time to put on the topper....

WOW Mom look how high I climbed....
"OK hand me the bow that goes on top"
Halie even helped....
While Molly kept the vacuum under control
And the finished tree.....
We had a great time. It is so much fun to watch Makayla learn and do new things. She really enjoys the christmas trees she has seen so far which makes it all the more fun.. I will however being hanging ALL of my breakable ornaments HIGH this year. With those two little hands around not much is safe..LOL

A little Marker never hurt anyone!

For halloween my sister bought Makayla markers that you can write on the windows with! (That's what Aunts are for right?) Makayla gets the biggest kick out of drawing on the windows and since it wipes right off I don't mind. I had to get some work done from home today so I asked my sister to come over for a little bit and when I came out this is what I found......
Makayla had decided the marker might look nice on herself instead.
She was so proud it was hard to be upset...
"Here go Mama....."

Posing with Nenny

Sorry the pictures are so bad it was hard to get the right lighting being by the window!
