Baby Party

Makaela was clearly a social butterfly
It's ok though because Emma made up for it :)


Last weekend, my dear roommate from college, Emily, had a baby shower for me with a few friends from college who still live in the area. It was so super fun to see a few girls and catch up a little bit. My mom and sister and sister-in-law, April, were also able to be there. It was a super small intimate group and it was just perfect. I prefer to call it a baby party, and not a baby shower because April had Emma (2 yrs); Kimberly had Linnea (8 months); Susi had Penny (3 months) and I had Makaela (2 months). It was so fun to have all those babies together and see them in their various stages!
We really have been blessed by people at the church and I could not think of anything that we currently really needed for Makaela, so I asked for books which I'm sure we will be wanting in the not too distant future. So, we got a ton of books which we are so excited about. They are actually already being used as I will put Makaela on her tummy and stand a book up in front of her. She just looks with such awe and wonder back'n'forth between the two pages, and usually stays on her tummy for about 20 minutes!!

Books were a great thing to ask for!!! Definitely start reading them now and let her grab them and chew on them to her heart's content -- such an important gift to give to your kids early (the love of reading)!:)
