Macie Turns 4

Macie turns four on the 21st!
And just how is she spending her big day you might ask...she is under anesthesia in the good care of her dentist getting
8 cavities (8 that we know of...maybe more) fixed. So we are giving her a new smilefor her birthday, and a few gifts of course.
Well just a little bit about our big girl...
We adopted her on Jan. 31st when she was just 10 days old. Bridger was so proud to be a big brother. We let him hold her just minutes after the adoption agency brought her in to us and he wouldn't let us take her from him for almost a half and hour. He was so excited to see her. (Now he might delight in a day away from her!)
She as such a little baby, she was only 5 lbs 10 oz when we got her, but she quickly grew in to a chubby little baby...and oh so cute! She was always happy and always had a smile on her face. She was such a perfect, sweet little baby and a joy to have in our family.
She was sealed to us for time and eternity on Aug 5, 2005. It was our 5 year wedding anniversary too, so it was a very special day for all of us.
She is full of energy and is learning so quickly. At times she tests my patience, but we always end up hugging it out...eventually. She is a very determined little girl and very smart. She loves to dance.
She also enjoys going to school and riding on the bus. She loves to listen to music and sing into a spoon for her microphone and dance around the kitchen while we clean. She loves to make things "all clean and shiny" when I ask her to put things away and then she has to come show me how nice it looks (this is just a new phase and I am loving the extra help, she actually does a great job putting things away).
She is a great big sister...most of the time...Emy might disagree. When Macie gets angry (at anything or anyone) she takes it out on Emy, but maybe she is just teaching her little sis how to be tough, right? When those two girls get along they have lots of fun together wrapped up in blankets eating popcorn and watching Dora or playing in big brother's room getting into everything he wishes they wouldn't touch while he is away at school.

Macie is so sweet with her new baby sister, Paisley. She is always kissing her and rubbing her head so softly (which we were very surprised and relieved with). She loves to rub her face across Paisley's little spiky mo hawk while I feed her.


One thing Macie can't get enough of is her daddy's attention. She is always climbing on his lap and saying "tickle me and kiss me" and wanting Jay to tickle her till she can't breath and kiss her under her chin...but she will never lift her head up because she knows his whiskers will tickle her face...but yet she wants him to continue to try to talk her into letting him kiss her. It is pretty cute to watch.
We can't wait to see what another year will bring. Happy Birthday Macie Moo! We love you!
