Laundry Day

So Makayla is almost 6 months old, only a few more days, and I thought it was time to wash all of her bigger and warmer clothes since it should, key word should, be getting colder soon. I went through all the new stuff and got my laundry started on Saturday morning. I couldn't believe how much there was to wash with her clothes and ours put together. It took me all day Saturday to get it all done, and I didn't have time to fold it as I was doing it, so by Saturday night we had piles of laundry to fold. Caleb thought it would be fun to put Makayla in all the clothes and take some pictures. So here she is amidst all the clothes, most of which are hers that she hasn't worn yet.

I though this was such a precious picture of her.

When we first threw all the clothes on her she was just a giggling and trying to eat them all. That is her favorite thing to do put everything and anything in her mouth. I love when she giggles it makes me so happy to be a mom!

Attitude!

I thought I would share some of these "attitude" pictures of Makayla with you.

Boy does she make us laugh. Whenever we put her down in anything that has an edge to it, like her car seat, bathtub, bouncer, swing, etc. when we look at her she has to have her arms out over the edge of them. Sometimes, especially in her car seat it looks like she is holding on for dear life! She also likes to pull this face that makes you think she has some major attitude! Just thought I would share this with you!

Here she is at bath time! She sure loves being in the water, and I can't wait until she gets to sit up on her own and play. See her right arm over the side of the tub.

Here she is in her bouncer right after a nap. She is just sit there again with her right arm over the side!

This is probably my favorite! She is just "chillin" in her swing! I love this little girl!

Makayla Has Finally Moved Out!

We have finally done it! We have put Makayla in her own room! I know, I know, we should have done it much sooner than now, but it was just so EASY to have her right next to me!

Everyone, my mom!!, kept telling us that it was time to put her in her own room, but I just didn't want to listen. It wasn't that I was scared to have her in her own room or anything like that. It was just that now if she cries, instead of rolling over and putting her binky in her mouth I have to get out of bed and walk to her room to do it. I know I am lazy, but what can I say. All I know is that Caleb will be helping more now that she is in her own room. (yes he is willing to do this)

After all she is 6 months old and Both Caleb and I have been saying for awhile now that since she has such a cute room, thanks to his family chipping in to buy the matching accessories for it, she probably should put it to good use!

(Isn't it so fun)

So last night was the first night that she slept in that cute little room all by herself. She did great! I may not have slept as well as I wanted to, I was a little worried I wouldn't hear her cry, but we made it through. Caleb got up once when she was coughing so bad. He thought it had woken her up, so he was ready to put the binky back in her mouth, but he didn't even have to go in her room she went back to sleep on her own. Dang cough that she has won't go away! (the doctor said she was fine and we see him again tomorrow, so yes I have had it checked out)

Here she is in her crib, in her own room!!

Hopefully she will do as good as last night every night! I know there will be times that I will have to get up, but if most nights are like last night I think I can do it! She is growing up so fast!

It Officially Starts!

That is right whether I am ready or not, BYU football season has officially begun! Those of you that know us, know that we are die hard BYU fans. Well I should say Caleb is a die hard BYU fan. I enjoy watching them play, but I would not be heart broken if I missed a game. I truly believe that Caleb may shed a tear if he has to miss a game! (Love ya Babe)

Caleb and I were both excited for this season to start so that we could dress Makalya in her first BYU outfit. While we were in Provo this summer I went to the bookstore and bought her a BYU shirt. Yes it is pink, but it still says BYU on it. Daddy couldn't have been more proud of his little BYU fan!

Daddy and Mommy with their baby BYU fan!

Since our friends Kipp and Krystal are also big BYU fans we decided to watch the first game with them. I figured it was better to have someone there that Caleb could talk football with, so that I didn't have to the whole game long. We took some cute pictures of the kids in their BYU attire.

Here is Makalya, Kyson, and me getting ready for the big game!!

Here are the proud daddy's with their "little cougars"

It was an exciting game with a great ending! BYU won by a score of 41-17 (I think) The boys really enjoyed it and I was happy because as some of you know if BYU doesn't win I don't get any sleep and no it isn't because Makayla doesn't sleep it is because her daddy doesn't sleep!! Not everyone enjoyed it as much as the boys did.

Here are the poor girls all worn out having to watch the entire game. Lets just say that I am glad she doesn't share the same enthusiasm for the game as her daddy!

GO BYU!!!!
