~"CUTEST" Award~

So for one moment I get to brag about my baby girl! Last night we went to Palmer, Caleb's School, for some Halloween fun. They had the kids go around to different parts of the school and trick-or-treat. Makayla had so much fun. It is a whole different story this year with her, she actually knows what is going on. She wants to carry her bucket and she even says "trick-or-treat" in her own little voice. So cute! Anyway after the trick-or-treating they had a little party after with treats and a costume contest. We forgot our camera yet again, but thanks to some friends we were able to get some cute shots of Makayla.

Isn't she adorable!

So back to the costume contest....They had the kids come up in different age groups, so when they called the 1 year olds up Caleb took her up to compete! :) They gave three awards in each age group: most original, scariest, and cutest. As they were deciding and even announcing the winners Makayla was up there screaming and trying to get away, and I was thinking wow she is so "cute" right now! Much to my amazement as I am thinking this they say, "the cutest award goes to the................

LADYBUG!

It was awesome! So Makayla has now won her first "CUTEST" award even though we have always know she is the CUTEST! Here is a picture of her on stage with daddy right after they announced it. Antenna off and ready to go she was so done! She won a gift card to Toys R Us. That will come in handy with Christmas coming up!

18 Months & Halloween!!

I just got Makayla's pictures done and they turned out great! Especially since she has been teething and has been in a lot of pain. See for yourself! I decided to do some in normal clothes because she is now 18 months old, yes that is right my baby is 18 months old can you believe it!! I also had some taken in her Halloween costume because she is just so dang cute in it!

I love my ladybug!!

( I can't get the slide show to post here so look below to see it!)

Makayla's New "Toy"

Makayla has been interested in the "potty" for a little while now, so we thought we would buy her one, since she will need it eventually, and let her get exposure to it. She is only 18 months and I am not expecting her to be trained anytime soon, but having a potty around can't hurt right! So introducing the POTTY!!

Makayla couldn't get enough of the potty when we brought it home. She really thought it was a new toy for her to play with. We had to move it into the bathroom and she is not too happy about it! She wakes up in the morning and asks for the potty, but hasn't really done anything in it yet.

Showing off the Potty!

The funnest thing is when she sits on it she pushes like she knows what to do on it. This is her sort of pushing I missed the really good picture of it.

And she knows to flush when she is done and wash her hands. I am so proud of her and she will do great when she is ready!

She is growing up so fast! I want her to stop and stay little a little while longer!

A Big Kid At Heart!!!

For some time now Caleb has wanted to build a fort for him and Makayla to enjoy. So yesterday for some quality family time we all went down in the basement and he did just that he built us a fort!

He had to make due with what little "supplies" we had for fort building, but he did a pretty good job. See for yourself....

Caleb and Makayla enjoying the fort and some popcorn.

(Makayla loves her popcorn!)

She also loves her phones!

Makayla is so lucky to have Caleb as her dad, he knows how to have fun all the time! I think he truly is a big kid at heart and I love it!
