Today is a Big Day for such a sweet girl

(Matthew 28:19) 19 Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Today, Makayla will be baptized into the Catholic Church. While I don't have any pictures to show you just yet of the big day, I do have a picture of the CAKE. Let me just tell you how awesome this cake is.

This picture does NOT do it justice. My cousin Megan and her girlfriend Jessy made this cake, and I don't think I will have to go anywhere else to find my cakemaker.
Please if you have time today, say a little prayer for my sweet baby girl.
Hope you are having a great Sunday.

Smartphone Photos

So, I just learned how to get the photos off of my smartphone without having to email them to myself. Yes, I am that person. SO, here are random smartphone moments.

Here she is sitting on her "throne"

Her "America's Next Top Model" pose

She really does control the remote

You want me to do what?

I have a 6 month old!

This was supposed to be posted yesterday, but I had blogger issues...
Oh my goodness where on earth did the last 6 months go? How on earth did 6 months go past and why did it happen so fast? So, in honor of my sweet babes being 6 months old, here are the traditional monthly posed pictures.


Makayla,
Every month you grow more and more independent, and your personality grows bigger and bigger.
You now know how to roll over, and you love to show me how.
You cry whenever you can't see your mama, and laugh whenever I come back into a room so that you can see me.
You love your exersaucer, but love the walker at Nana and Pop-Pop's too.
You can make the walker go backwards, but soon I am sure you can get it to go forward too.
You love when the dogs play with you, and I can't wait to see how you will get along when you are walking on your own.
You went swimming for the first time on Memorial Day, and fell in love with it immediately, Mama loves that about you.
You love to eat, and you love food. We have only been giving you fruit and vegetables, but I think you are ready to move on.
You love sitting up by yourself, you look like a big girl when you do it.
You love your cousins, your legs go a mile a minute when you hear the names of Shae and Joey.
You and mama go for a walk everyday, you have helped mama lose 20 pounds so far!
I love it when you are cranky, because as soon as you see me, you laugh and giggle!
You still sleep through the night, but there are times when you still need your mama! I can't wait to watch you continue to grow.
We go to the doctor's on the 24th, I can't wait to see how you grew!
Mommy loves you! I love you to the moon and back!

The Continued Adventures of My Little Mermaid

Memorial Day came and it was a Hot! Hot like 100 degrees hot. So, taking Makayla outside was for limited time. So, I wanted to see how Makayla would do in the pool after the previous 2 days. From these pictures tell me what you think. I cannot take credit for the pictures, my mom took them.




Happy Belated Memorial Day! Here is to one weekend of swimming adventures, and hopefully many many more!
