ABC's

Makaela has started singing the ABC's minus the actual letters of the song :) But she's got most of the tune down! She sings it all the time! It's so much fun to listen to her sing and talk all day long. It's fun now...I am sure it will be a bit challenging when she is actually trying to communicate with me and I have no idea what she is saying. But for now, her babble is cute and fun and she loves it!!

This video has a few funny spots to it. One in particular, Bella comes over to check out the camera and sniffs her little snout right in front of it :)

Bonding with Bella

Makaela has taken a particular liking to Bella lately which has been really fun!! She loves to "play" with her, and sweet Bella is so gentle and patient with Makaela. She is constantly sitting on her trying to ride her, or checking out her feet or her mouth or something. I see a budding friendship here :)

Our Little Break Dancer

I really think we might have a break dancer among us--and No, I'm not talking about Nathan :) Makaela LOVES to dance, and she busts out some pretty funny moves!! Every time I play this video, she starts dancing right away. It is soooo funny! Enjoy!

Giveaway Fun

I have Erin Kuester to thank for this. She introduced me to giveaway blogs. Thanks for the addiction friend :) I was quickly sucked in, but took a break as life got really busy with moving and such, but I'm going to hop back into the swing of things right now. I've been following giveaways from a blog called Mommy and Me Giveaways, and I've lucked out twice now. I won a set of Avent bottles for when hopefully baby #2 comes along, and I also won a piece of shapewear! Some of the things aren't necessarily things I would use but would love to use as gifts for baby showers or donate the to the nursery to be used there!!

The big giveaway we are currently crossing our fingers for is a giveaway of Microsoft Office 2010 for MAC. That's right. The full Microsoft Office Suite. We relatively recently acquired a MAC, but don't have any of those programs and I'd love to get my excel back to use for budgeting and keeping track of all our bills etc!! So, with fingers crossed, we'll hope for something good out of this!! If not, thats ok--I figure there's no hurt in trying for something for free :) Anyway, check out the website if you're interested in picking up any free products of various kinds!! Who doesn't love free and usable stuff?!?! :)
