I love these little feet!! I could kiss on them all day. I love my little girl so much. That's why I couldn't resist getting a picture. There's something about baby feet that is so adorable.

Someone looks like they're up to something. I had Mayci on the floor while I was in the bathroom. Turned around for two seconds and she had her body wash! She somehow found out how to open it and proceeded to squeeze it all over our rug:) When you turn around and see those beautiful blue eyes looking up at you, you can't be mad... right? Right! I'm sure there will plenty of messes to come.
Tea party anyone? Mayci got this adorable tea set for Christmas. It came with this tea pot that sings. Along with two cups and some plastic desserts. It never fails that whenever someone comes over with little kiddies this is the toy they go for. Even my little nephew loves it!! I loved sitting back watching as Mayci and her cousin had a cute little tea party:)

What can I say, ADORABLE!!! This is Mayci and her BFF Robbi. They were so excited to exchange gifts for Christmas this year. I know, I know, Christmas has been over for a while. You see, Miss Robbi got really sick during Christmas which delayed our much awaited gift exchange. Once we were given the OK, we got together and enjoyed seeing these two perfect angels interact. It was so funny to watch these two together. Mayci just sat there sucking on the ribbon that was attached to her present. While Robbi tried pulling Mayci's flower out of her beanie. Mayci got this adorable crochet hat that coincidentally matched Robbi's. Mistake?......I think not;) Can't wait to see these two buddies grow up together!!!


Another year, another cake! Each year Dan's kids give me ideas as to how they want there cake decorated for their birthday. Surprisingly enough, it always has something to do with t.v. characters. Which to say the least makes it quite difficult to accomplish. Apparently I continue to do something right because they keep asking for more. This year was no exception. Payton wanted spider-man, and that's what he got. While I was decorating it, he had no idea what I was making. I started with the eyes, which at first he thought it was a heart. So he would walk around the house stating I was making him a Valentine's cake. Then he assumed the eyes were angel wings. Why he thought I would make him a cake with either of those things still remains a mystery. Finally after I started putting the black webs on, he got it. He absolutely loved his cake. I don't know if I can top that next year!

Seven and a half months old! I can't believe it. Like any new mom I thoroughly enjoy taking pictures of my princess. The funny thing is that she will freely be giving smiles and laughter away. Once the camera comes out it all immediately stops. Even if I try to do it incognito, it never fails, she figures it out. So this was the best I could get as far as smiles go. She's great at giving me a serious face, had plenty of those. Nothing beats a smile on a child's face at Christmas!

Our little girl had so much fun Christmas morning. She woke up around 8:30, which was nice. I fed her and we proceeded into the front room to unwrap her hidden treasures. I knew that since she was still pretty young that she wouldn't get a lot accomplished on her own. She was really interested in the wrapping paper, but needed help starting it. So Dan and I would tear a little hole in it, and surprisingly she would do the rest. It did take some time, but I was glad. I didn't want it to go by too fast. Every bit of wrapping paper she tore off went right to her mouth:) You knew that was coming. She was definitely a spoiled little girl. It's only just begun:)


We made sugar cookies with Dan's kids when they were here before Christmas. I wanted to make sure that Mayci was included in the fun, even though she's still pretty tiny. Dan helped her make her first sugar cookie! After she was done, all she wanted to do was eat the cookie cutter! Typical baby thing:) I'm pretty sure that Dan gave her some cookie dough! Of course, he won't fess up to it:(

I never knew that I was capable of loving someone so much! I cannot even begin to describe to you how much I love this little girl. She brings a smile to my face and heart everytime I see her. I'm so blessed to be her mom. I love Dan very much, but I don't think either of us can imagine life without her!!
