All About Makayla

Since this might be the last post before baby brother arrives, I thought I would do a little post all about Makayla and the fun things she has been up to in March.

Makayla is pretty regimented, which is nice. It is pretty easy to figure out what she needs or wants based on the time of day. I love that she is on a schedule and sticks to it.

Makayla started climbing out of her pack-n-play at daycare, so now she doesn't get a nap in the morning. She gets to play with the big kids all day now. When I pick her up at 1, she goes down for a good two hour nap (sometimes I go down for a nap with her... pregnancy can sure wear you out!)

At 14 months, Makayla still loves her blankie. We have about 5 of them that she rotates among. Some of the corners are pretty gross, but she sure loves her blankie!

Her hair is getting longer, so I tried putting it in side piggies. I thought she looked pretty cute, but she took them out about an hour after they were in. I love having a little girl that I can style her hair.

We have been loving the nice spring weather lately. Makayla has had so much fun in our backyard playing in the grass. We've gone for walks down our street and back, which she loves. Sometimes she gets distracted by rocks on the ground, but it is so cute. And last week we were at the trap shoot and Makayla had so much fun playing in the rocks and dirt.

 Ignore her peacock looking hair. Kayla's hair was in piggies, but she took them out.

 I think my phrase of the day is, "Not in your mouth, Kayla". I don't know why mulch is so appealing to her.

 We have a small hill in our backyard and Kayla was trying so hard to walk up it. She was pretty proud of herself when she made it to the top.

Some other fun things about Makayla at 14 months:

She is a good eater. Some of her favorite foods are strawberries, grapes, pasta pick ups, peanut butter sandwiches, and oreos.

Makayla loves to crawl up and down stairs. If you try to go down stairs without her she gets pretty upset.

Makayla tries to run away from us and make us chase her. She starts laughing so hard when we play this game with her.

She likes to watch Sesame Street in the morning before we leave. She especially loves Elmo. But nothing gets her excited like watching Baby Einstein. She squeals and claps her hands when it comes on.

She is still the sweetest, best little girl we could ask for!

I said this post was all about Makayla, but we have to give a little shout out to Makayla's cousin Colton. He turned three this month and we went to a really fun birthday party for him. Happy Birthday Cub!

Is this our last picture as a family of three?
