A night to remember

Tyler and I had the chance to see Wicked last weekend. For those of you who have seen it know how awesome it is... For those of you who haven't, go see it!! It really is amazing. It was the first time for both Tyler and I to see it. We were blown away at how well it was written and by the cast. They had some pretty amazing voices. We saw it at the Orpheum Theatre here in Omaha which was built back in 1927 and it definitely still had it's vintage charm. It was breathtaking and we felt like we had stepped back in time a little.

Hopefully we can see it again soon and hopefully it will still be around when Macie is old enough to enjoy it.

Time goes by fast...

I can't believe my little lady is 3 months old! Time has sped by... I'm going to blink and she'll be in college! Some of the things Macie is doing now:

Smiling all the time (especially in the morning)

Giggling and cooing

Rolling from back to side and tummy to side

Reaching for toys, can't quite grab them yet

Sleeps through the night

LOVES being outside

Can sit up in her saucer and bumbo

We've been taking these pics every month... It's fun to see them side by side. She's starting to get super chunky!

We decided to bless Macie in AZ around family. We were able to go home for about 10 days. It was so nice to see her with family and get to know her grandmas ad grandpas, aunties and uncles, and cousins. 

Macie in her blessing dress. It was a little big on her so pardon the Lady Gaga sleeves :) We were able to bless her on Mother's Day along with cousin Logan. It was such an amazing day and she looked so beautiful in her white dress. 

Can't get enough of this face!

After we came home from AZ, grandma and grandpa Barnwell visited us. It was so fun to have them here. Macie fell in love with Grandma Kitty! She was constantly smiling at grandma. 

We took them to see the temple and Macie loved looking at all the bright flowers. 

We also went to the Durham museum which is home to the Union Pacific Railroad. It was a lot more interesting than I had expected. The station was beautiful and it was fun to see what the trains looked like back then. 

Grandma Kitty gave her the cutest sunglasses so naturally we had to do a photo shoot. 

 This is one of our favorites. Total Diva!

We love our little princess and enjoy watching her develop. Being a parent is the best job in the world! Can't wait to see what the next 3 months brings :)

2 months and growing...

Macie had her 2 month checkup today and had to get her first set of immunizations. It was so sad to see her get poked but she did awesome! She was so tired she only cried for a minute and then was out. What a trooper! I think it was harder on me than it was on her :)

She measured in at 11lbs 5oz (58%) and 23in (72%). Looks like she may have gotten daddy's height... let's hope so!

Here is a pic of her owies

Tummy Time

Dressed up for church... love this dress! My sis let me borrow it :)

Sunday nap... she was out!

Her Easter dress. 

The Most Beautiful Girl in the World!

I have a friend in my ward who took these amazing photos... She did such s good job and I'm so glad we have professional pics of Macie as a newborn. It's amazing how much she has already grown since these pics were taken. She was about 2 1/2 weeks when we took them. I just uploaded the whole album from photobucket because I didn't want to take the time and just pick our favorites and post those. Let's be honest though, they are all my favorites :) So sorry there are so many but it was just faster to do it this way :) 

Happy 1 month!

Today Macie turned one month! I can't believe it's already been a month since our sweet little angle came to our family. We even celebrated with pazookies and sang happy birthday to her. :) I love making these little stepping stones a big deal. My friend gave me a pack of onesies that will fit her for a year and they come with stickers that you stick on the onesie so you can take a pic every month. So that's what she is wearing in the pic below. It'll be cool to have a picture of her in the same outfit every month for a year. 

She was two weeks in these pics. I was playing around one day with the camera and these are the pics I took. Definitely not professional but she gave me some cute expressions :) Thanks aunt Kayli for the cute headband! 

At her two week appointment, she weighed 8lbs 3oz and was 20in long. She's gotten even chunkier since then, it'll be fun to see what she weighs at her next appt. 

Finally Finished!

So we finally got Macie's room decorated. We still have a few small touches to add, but we're pretty much done! We did kind of a vintage bird theme. Let us know what you think!

Mom or Dad?

We compared our baby pictures to Macie's to see who she looks like. We think she's a good mix but we want to know what you think! It's been fun comparing her features to ours... like she has my mouth but Tyler's nose, or my eyes and Tyler's feet. Some days I can totally see me in her and other days she's all Tyler. We still can't get over how cute she is! So....

Mom

or Dad?

It would be fun to hear what you think!

Here are a few more pics of her we like...

She LOVES being wrapped like a burrito and sleeps so well this way. You can tell by this pic that she is out! She sleeps with her mouth open like this all the time, like her dad :)

Also Tyler made this video of Macie's birthday. It makes me cry every time I watch it, bringing back all the emotions of that day!
