This is the way we brush our teeth...

Mac loves to brush his teeth. In fact, we have to wrestle the toothbrush away from him. (okay so maybe he just likes to chew on the toothbrush, but it still works)

Kiss me...I'm Irish...

Steppin out

So no pictures or video yet, but Mac did something awesome last night. We were at church, I had only just arrived from work. Doug put Mac down in the middle of the floor standing up. For the last few days or so he has been playing around and taking one step or pivoting on one foot. But he took one step then another...then another...then one more. Then he sat down. That's four steps! He'll probably be running by the time I get home tonight. I think life at our house is about to change all over again.

Snow!

Saturday we had Mac's party and the weather was great. Sunday while at church it started to snow. We figured it wouldn't last long and certainly wouldn't stick. How wrong we were...
The whole county was shut down yesterday and the schools were closed again today.
There is still snow on the ground.

Finally...Happy Birthday to Mac!!

Today was Mac's 1st Birthday party...if you're counting he doesn't actually turn one until Tuesday. We didn't do much, just a few friends, cake, and icecream. We did get some good pictures though. Here are a few.

First Birthday Party

We put a mat under his chair thinking he would make a big mess. He really didn't though, instead he pretty much ate everything. He didn't need a bath afterwards, just hands and face washed. The bib was a mess though.
The most amazing thing is that he went to bed at the normal time and so far is sleeping well.

Stand up, Stand up for Jesus

Mac did something new yesterday. He stood up all on his own. I was quite impressed. It did involve alot of what looked like an attempt to stand on his head, but that part was pretty funny too. We have been told several times how standing is a precursor to walking so who knows what may happen any day now. (Doug swears he took a step last night but I didn't see it)

Happy Birthday Aunt Jessica!

Happy Birthday Aunt Jessica, can't wait for dinner tomorrow!
