Christmas!

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas break.  We were sad Matt had to go back to work but it is nice to get back into a routine.  We celebrated Christmas with my family on Christmas Eve and then spent Christmas Day with Matt's family.  It was nice to relax and enjoy spending time with our families.  Santa went all out this year and Matt and I got a laptop- it is fun!  Matt also gave me an Apple Cookie Jar which I am very excited to fill up after my Christmas sugar high goes down.  McKay got all sorts of toys, books, and clothes, but he was mostly interested in the wrapping paper and boxes...  McKay is crawling now and NEVER stops moving- and I mean never.  He squirms around even when he sleeps.  Here are some pictures from our Christmas- notice how I never got a picture with McKay looking at the camera and smiling...

Daddy & McKay testing out the new toys

"Mom, these boxes and wrapping paper are fun!"

I made my two of my nieces these tutus for Christmas. They turned out so cute so I have to brag-

We hope you all enjoyed a Merry Christmas too and wish you a Happy New Year!

Time to Child-Proof

It is officially time to child-proof our house.  McKay can't crawl quite yet, but he has mastered diving and rolling to get where he wants to go. 

You caught me!

Trying to take down our Christmas tree...let's hope we make it to Christmas!

McKay loves all the Christmas decorations- lights, sounds, and new toys to slobber all over!

Laundry Basket Adventures!

Who knew that a laundry basket could be so much fun? It is officially McKay's favorite toy. It has holes for your fingers, you can pull yourself up on it, you can hide underneath it, you can eat the sides, and best of all if you butter up Daddy really good he will give you rides in it!

I was folding the laundry and McKay was poking his fingers through the holes when he decided that he would try to pull himself up to it, but the idea backfired and it flipped over on him. I thought he would get scared and cry, but no he just grinned and loved watching me through the holes. Later that night, we were again folding laundry (it is a never ending thing) and I went in the other room for a minute. I came back and Matt had put McKay in the basket with his monkey Stripes and a pillow and was pulling him around the room. At first he was pretty hesitant and held on tight. But after a while he decided it was fun and he was loving his new toy. He loved it so much it took us half the night to calm him down and convince him it was time for bed! But after all the excitement, he slept wonderful last night!








McKay loves to put in his pacifier himself, but he usually puts it in upside down- it is the cutest thing!
