5 Months!!

That's right, little Miss Macy is 5 months old today! She has been such a good baby. She loves to smile and will for anyone she sees, which is totally different than Ellie was/is. :) She rolls over from front to back, but doesn't do it all of the time. She recently has started to like to play with toys, which makes me happy because it is something to keep her busy. She bears weight like a champ, which again is totally different than Ellie was. :) I love her so much and can't get enough of her. (I would love her even more if she could be consistent at night!) Anyway, I took some pictures of her today in the same outfit I put Ellie in when she was 5 months old and took a picture in the same spot. (I know I'm a nerd.) I love it because they are totally different, but still look like sisters. Macy was not as chubby and she is definitely lighter (as in color) than Ellie. She is my blue-eyed beauty!

Ellie is the first picture and the rest are of Macy.

How cute is her smile?

And I have to throw in a picture of Ellie because a miracle happened...she actually smiled for the camera!!

Halloween

I love Halloween! It is my older brother's birthday, so growing up my mom always through a Halloween bash for him/for all of us kids! Thanks Wes! :) I feel like I have to keep the tradition alive and make Halloween fun for my kids. Even though I didn't come CLOSE to making as great a party as my mom always did, I still had a great time and I think my little girls did too.

First, we got invited to a friend's party on Friday night. Ellie is of course Snow White and Macy was a banana for that night because my awesome/talented friend, Ashley, was making her costume. Ellie was a banana when she was Macy's age and I had to post their pictures side by side to see if you think they look alike. Macy is on the left, Ellie on the right.

I guess it is kind of hard to tell in the banana suit. :)

 

P.S. Ellie is the worst at taking pictures! Seriously, as soon as I pull out the camera she purposefully looks away! How rude! :)

Then on Saturday some family and friends came over for a little get together before we took the kids out trick-or-treating. This time Macy was a mermaid. How cute is this costume?! Ashley seriously whipped up this little number the night before. She is A-MAZING!! She didn't even have a pattern.

 

It had been raining on Saturday so I was worried that it would ruin our trick-or-treating plans, but luckily it stopped right before we left. It was still COLD, but the kids were brave and we had a lot of fun! Macy only lasted one house and then Greg took her back home. At first I thought he was being a great dad looking out for his little girl, but I'm pretty sure he really wanted to get back to watch some football. :) He still is a great dad. :)

Anyway, we had a great Halloween and I can't wait for next year!

I have to show this picture of Macy because I think it is cute. She was loving Marie. :)
