Macie

I thought I would tell you what Macie has been up to lately. I havn't down loaded pictures This week, but I will try to get some soon.
She is working really hard at learning to walk. She is all over the place if she has something to hold. She is taking one or two steps on her own, but she crashed quickly. I think she will have it down fairly soon.
She is saying mama and dada and I think banana-of course it sounds like BA, but she uses it for banana so I think it counts!
She claps and sings along in music class. We actually have a few weeks off, but it is cute to hear her "sing" when music is playing.
She loves to play in the Cozy Coupe. Today she sat in it and played for 30+ minutes while I did a little yard work. She has even figured out how to make it move. She climbs in and out and up on the seat. I wish I had gotten a picture of her. I posted some a while back of her and Addison playing in it, but she has really gotten into it lately.
She still isn't sleeping well. Jeff was gone last night and she was up for a good 2 to 3 hours. Since we will be traveling some over the next couple months, I decided I should do whatever it takes to get her back to sleep. I don't think I should let her scream for hours just to leave town and have her messed up again. So, when she started crying just as I was falling asleep last night, I decided I would see if feeding her put her back to sleep. I did wait a few minutes to see if she would go back to sleep on her own. Then, I went to her room rocked her a few minutes and then tired feeding her. When I put her back in her bed she was crying again. I thought I would take her to my room and let her sleep with me since Jeff wasn't there anyway. That worked for about 10 minute then she was trying to crawl out of the bed. I tried several things, but she would start crying or climbing out of the bed again. Finally, I gave up and put her back in her room. I put the pillow over my head so her cries were muffled a little. I don't really know how long it took for her to go to sleep. She would cry a while then stop then start again. Once she finally went to sleep, she slept until 7. (Of course Carson had me up a couple times too, so I had very little sleep.) I am certainly looking forward to her figuring this sleep thing out! I should say there are many nights where she will sleep for 8-9 hours-it just starts too early. Tonight she was in bed before 7.
If I find the time, I will get some video of her up here soon. She really is a cutie-except when she is screaming in the middle of the night!
