Some Updates

Since starting back to work a few weeks ago, I feel like I've been doing nothing but playing catch up on life! I keep telling myself that it's only a matter of time until I'm back in the swing of things, but I definitely feel 'out of sorts.'


Tucker:

2 day a week preschool started up this week. He was a little disappointed that none of the kids from his class last year are in his new class. He was the oldest in his class last year, so I'm guessing he was bumped up with 3 year olds more his age for this school year. Tucker is very average size for his age, and some of the kids in his class seem huge, so much taller than he is! Even he referred to them as "those big kids." Tucker's friend and neighbor, Grant, is in his class, so that's exciting for him. I was a little worried about how he'd do with going potty at school, but he is doing great! No accidents so far. I'm so relieved that he got the hang of potty training just before school started back up. I was really starting to worry about having to send him to school in diapers, when I had a feeling that most of the kids would already be potty trained. Funny how things work out just in the nick of time!


Macy:

• wears 12-18 month clothing currently, but will very soon advance to 18-24 month. She still has those chunky thighs and booty, which means tight fitting pants! She is wearing size 5 shoe. I'm curious to see what her growth measurements are at her 15 month appointment in a couple of weeks.



• says a few words, and repeats what others say, but mostly babbles sentences. Of course she knows what she's talking about, I just wish the rest of us did!



• is pacifier addicted. I'm trying to limit her paci use, but she must have it to sleep or while in the car. I'm sure I will need some pointers when we do try to break of her that habit!



• loves swimming pools and taking baths.



• doesn't like wearing hair bows. :(



• takes two naps, goes to bed between 8-9pm and wakes up around 8am.



• loves to eat!



• has 5 teeth.
  

Macy, Macy, Macy...my sweet little girl is a MESS! She isn't shy about letting everyone know about her frustrations. When she doesn't get her way, she throws herself on the floor with her booty in the air and screams. She loves getting into everything. One of her mischievous acts is climbing on the couch only to throw the pillows on the floor (all while laughing hysterically, of course). Wonder who she learned that from??? At least she is a great napper, nighttime sleeper, and does really well in the stroller. And she does give the best snuggle hugs. :)

Leave that bow in, sister!

And onto my newest project, the ever so popular pillowcase dress. These dresses are so great because you can pair them with leggings and a long-sleeved shirt for the colder months. My original thought was to make this into a Halloween outfit for Macy, with a pumpkin applique on the front, but I'm actually loving this fabric by itself. I may opt to add orange ribbon instead of the black and call it a "Halloween" outfit! Or maybe I will decide to add to that pumpkin after all. Hmm...
