Macie's growing up!!

Macie has really changed in the 2½ months since we left Oklahoma. When we left she was a tiny little thing, just trying to crawl....which really looked more like an inchworm than actual crawling! After we got to Hawaii, and in our house, we didn't have furniture for about 2 weeks after we moved in. She had the whole downstairs to practice her crawling and she got very, very fast....at the inchworm thing! She also discovered pulling up on anything available to pull up on....all we had were the bar stools and the stairs. We figured we be in trouble once our furniture arrived and she has not proven us wrong! She pulls up on everything and tries to stand alone before she comes crashing down! She "cruises" between the furniture and will even take a couple of steps if you hold her hands. She loves being out in the grass in the backyard, and we have to be careful to leave the back door shut, or she will end up in the yard! (This requires her to crawl out the door which has a step, and off the lanai, which also has a step to the ground. She does this very quietly!!!)

Macie still wrinkles her nose, talks, laughs, and smiles all the time. Oh, and she has finally gotten the hang of crawling the "traditional" way. But, if she is in a hurry, inch-worming is much faster for her! She is such an easy going baby. I guess she has to be....what choice does she have? She eats well, and is no longer accused of being tiny....the girl has got her momma's thighs!!! She's got a beer belly too, but I don't know where she got that from!?!?

One milestone Macie has yet to reach since we moved here is.....TEETH!! She is 10 months old already and still NO TEETH. I guess my sisters & I were all late getting teeth, so she is going to show us her Barton genes and be like us!
