Six Month Old Princess

These are a few of the six month pictures that Jenny took for us. Amazing. I have such a talented sister and I'm so thankful that she took so many great pictures of Macey for us.

Our little angel has turned half a year. I keep thinking that the stage that she is in right now is the best stage... but every day continues to get better.


Macey has been eating solids since she as 4 1/2 months and has decided that she likes everything but peas and green beans. For breakfast she eats fruit and has milk. Lunch she eats a vegetable (butternut squash and sweet potatos are her favorites) and has milk. Mid-afternoon she has milk for a snack and the rest of her lunch for an early dinner. Right before bed (around 6:45p), she has cereal and a fruit, then milk.


At her 6 month appointment, Macey weighed 18.1 lbs and measured 27 1/4 inches. I'm not 100% that the height is right as some of the babies in our group appear to be the same size but measure 28 1/2 inches...


Macey loves to touch the face of the person holding her and stare into their eyes. She laughs and smiles all the time and is generally a very happy baby. She does well playing by herself with her toys or in her jumparoo. She also loves singing and dancing with mommy and daddy as we get dinner ready. Bailey and Sam take turns sleeping by Macey's crib at night and suffer through her "petting" them each day.


Typically, Macey sleeps from 7:15p - 5a, eats and then is back asleep by 6a until 8:30a. We still don't have any teeth but all of the signs are there. Although she hasn't started crawling yet, she has become resourceful in spinning and flipping to get what she wants. If she can't spin or flip to get it, she usually decides it isn't worth getting after all.

Macey and the Fishies

Macey and I went to the GA Aquarium for our first time last week with three of our baby brigade friends. It's always exciting to see so many beautiful and unique fish... makes me want to renew my scuba certification and see these beautiful fish in their natural habitat!

Macey enjoyed watching the fish in the first few tanks...

Labor Day Weekend

Macey and I spent Labor Day weekend in Nashville while Jimmy went on a Dove hunt in Augusta. I wish we could replay this weekend every month, but next time have Jimmy join us. Time went way to fast!

Since Jenny was going to take Macey's six month pictures, we decided to make a tutu. I can't believe we didn't take any pictures of us making it! Colby, Mom, Jenny and I stayed up late Saturday night cutting tulle, tying it on and laughing our heads off!

Kimberly and Doug spent the day with us on Sunday and feasted with us that night. I still can't believe how much food we had! Pork chops, veggies with extra mushrooms, corn on the cob, bread, cucumber salad, apple pie and ice cream... so delicious!

I'm so impressed that she was watching the fish!

Beautiful Girls!

This is pretty much how these two spent the weekend. If Macey was awake, she was playing with Colby.

Earlier this summer, John and Jenny spent hours making the patio that we are sitting on in the below picture. It looks so great! I love the tent with the pretty lights and all of the citronella candles and beautiful flowers all around. The weather was perfect this weekend for lots of outside meals and playing.

Jimmy has played on the Northside United Methodist Church softball team for the past couple of years. He took this year off due to back pain and hanging with Macey, but they asked him to play in the championship game. Since Macey and I are the best cheerleaders, we came along for the ride. Jimmy played great! Three out of five at bats, he sent that ball over the fence and into the woods! We were so proud of him! Unfortunately, the team didn't win the championship, but they did get a runners up trophy!
