Sunday Morning

Sunday morning was so great. The weather was amazing again so we had to take advantage of it. Sean was able to go on a nice long run, and wash the car. Then because Sean was home I was able to go on a run by myself. Which was so nice because it is hard work running with the jogging stroller.

When I got home from my run this is what I came home to, Sean washing the car and Mae playing in her exersaucer. So cute. I was just glad that they were both doing things that they love.

But on the down side I totally banged up my knee on my run. I slipped on some gravel and BAM I went down and totally rocked my left knee. SO I thought that I would share a picture of the carnage that is my knee. ENJOY!
It was still an amazing day and my knee is healing nicely and I've already run on it again so I should be good for Bloomsday.

Misty Shes Finally Eating Her Toes

So Misty has been trying to get Mae to eat her toes so that she can take a picture of it but Miss Mae was being stubborn (where do you think she got that from). So the other day I caught Mae eating her toes. It took me a while to get a picture but I finally succeeded. Sneaky little thing she is.

Sitting Up At The Park

Mae is getting so much better at sitting up it is so much fun to watch her grow. On Friday the weather was amazing so Mae and I went for a run and then headed to the park on the way home. It was so much fun blue sky's, warm air and a happy Momma.

Mae of course got to swing. She had so much fun laughing and smiling so much. Then after the swinging we played in the grass. She doesn't seem to mind the grass to much, but then again I have been putting her on the grass as soon as the weather warmed up because I didn't want it to freak her out.

No Teeth Yet

Thanks everyone for your advice on soothing teething for Miss Mae, I'm definitely going to be using some of the tips I got. No teeth have popped up yet but she is still acting weird. So I guess the craziness of the teething has just begun. I promise more pictures soon, I have been so lazy with the picture taking. But Misty is doing photography lessons on her blog so I'm gonna try them tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Teething

So I'm pretty sure Mae is teething and is really miserable, so if anyone has any pointers that would be awesome. She seems to be calming down now but she has been crying for at least 45 min. Tried nursing, soothing tablets, baby Tylenol, rocking and nothing seems to work. I think she has cried herself out for now but any ideas would be awesome. Thanks.

Sweet Potatos

I know Mae has only been eating Rice Cereal for a week but she was ready to move on to something more SWEET POTATOS! She loved them. Its so crazy that she is eating baby food already. They grow up so fast.

This picture is her first bite of the good stuff.

I think she likes it, don't you?
This picture is from Monday night after we had gotten the new highchair. She is so little in it but at least I know that she'll be able use it for a long time. All smiles during dinner!
Open wide!
Mmmmmmmmmm!

New Toys

On Monday the weather was nasty and rainy, so I decided to run errands. Mae absolutely made out like a fat hog on errand day. She got a high chair, and an excersaucer which she loves. When I set it up she played in it for at least an hour, so I took a video of it because it was so dang cute!

Trackmeets, Sunshine, & Sunglasses

On Saturday Sean had a home track meet, so I got Mae and myself all lathered up in sunscreen and off we went. She had so much fun it was warm and there was a lot of action. I love that she would watch the runners all around the track it was so cute. Seans team won the meet in case anyone is keeping track. And as you all know Sean and I were so happy that she loved the meet because its such a big part of our lives. We were there for 5 hours and by the end of the day she was over it. Not just because of the excitement but it was so bloody warm YIPPEE!

Because it was so warm and sunny I had to bust out Maes new sunglasses. They are so cute and she keeps them on her eyes which I love. After the track meet I took Mae down to the park and we went to the swings. Which Maes loves she gets excited when we start walking to the park because she knows whats up. It was so much fun to be able to enjoy the park in the warmth. And Mae was all smiles and did not want to go home when it was time.

I know that this picture cuts of her head but her smile is co cute and it really shows off her shades!

Mae started doing this thing with her legs. Tucking them into the swing and holding on with her hands. It was so funny I was busting up laughing at her.

Feet Up

So cute on Saturday Mae and I went to the park and she was being so funny with her feet so check it out.

First Nice Day

So it was finally sunny out last weekend (first nice weekend since Mae was born) so Mae and I ran errands Downtown in the jogging stroller. It was so awesome to be outside and not be freezing. So when we got home we hung out in the front yard for awhile. I thought I would try to see if she would sit up a little better in the grass and if she was freaked out by it or liked the grass. As you can see by the pictures she didn't really want to be sitting, but it was sure fun trying.

Rice Cereal Video

Ok heres the video of Maes first taste of Rice Cereal. ENJOY!

Ice Cream

So this happened on Easter also. Maes first bit of Ice cream. She was in heaven! But also so mad at momma because I wouldn't give her more then I did.

Baby Mum-Mum

So tonight before Mae ate her Rice Cereal I gave her this rice cookie called Baby Mum-Mum, which dissolves when gummed. Mae loved it. They come with 2 in a package and she ate them both one before the cereal and one after.

So yummy!

Her little tongue is so cute. She loved to lick the cracker.

Big News!

Mae is eating and sleeping in her own crib. All of this happened in like a day absolutely blows my mind.

So Mae started eating Rice Cereal on Sunday. For a couple of days before I decided to do the cereal Mae had been acting extra hungry. So I called my source (Misty) and I said "hey what should I do shes acting way hungry?" Misty said "feed her more." I then tried to make her eat of the boob more and she wanted nothing to do with it. So then on Sunday Sean was kind enough to to to the store and get Rice Cereal (I didn't feel well so I sent him). He got home and I then called the source again and asked her when should I give it to her. So after Mae ate off the boob in the evening, I then fed her some cereal and she LOVED it. So she has had her cereal every night since.

Getting ready to eat, I think she knew something was up because she normally doesn't sit so nice in the Bumbo chair.

One of the first bites YUM YUM!
So good, look at that face she loves it.
Give me more, and let me help.
Almost done and all over her face. So cute and full.
Oh yeah I forgot to talk about the sleeping thing. She started sleeping in her crib on Saturday night and has been doing great. She still slept through the night so that's awesome. The only downside is that she is going to bed earlier, so then waking up earlier to eat in the morning. But I can handle it.

Brunette or Blond?

So I forgot about these pictures that we took on Easter. We used Marys and my hair to see if Mae is going to be Brunette or Blond? So let me know what you think I think Blond but more of a dirty blond then white.

Brunette?

Blond?

Fashion Show

So we're still playing with the camera. Tonight we were playing with the templates. But not only that we were also having a fashion show (we used to do these as kids when we would get our school clothes) with the new clothes I got Mae today at Old Navy. I went for sunglasses they didn't have any so I left with A new hoodie, pink seersucker shorts, and a swimsuit. Enjoy the show!

So here is a full view of Maes new stuff, so cute! Hi daddy in the background!!

A hoodie that's gonna last a summer YIPPIE!
Mom and Mae looking at the puffs in between outfit changes.
Oh Mae and the bubbles, I love that she is in every bubble such cool effects.
And finally her new suit. Now I just bought her one because I was waiting for my Gma and Gpa Johnson to get Mae her first swimsuit and they gave it to Mae this last weekend so I was in the clear to get her another one. The one that they got her is so cute also, its a green triangle top with pink flowers and the bottoms are a little green ruffle skirt. Its gonna be so fun this summer playing in the water. And now Mae has swimsuits to go with her little swimmers.

The Blockheads

Here are some more funnie pictures from our web cam.

Sean blockhead so crazy I think that when the block head one is done it makes people look like toads.

So on Sunday we took the computer over to Eli's luncheon and Gma and Gpa Johnson were there so we had them play with the camera and it was so funnie Gpa was laughing it up so cute.
