Hunter!

I get to have my Hanna tomorrow!  I'm so beyond excited to see her and the kids. 

Quinny had bananas mixed with a little cereal this morning and liked it even better than the first time.  Maybe the solid foods will put some meat on her bones.

Nana is in the hospital again with a second stroke so prayers would be appreciated.  Jonathan said kids aren't a good idea so Jim is going to see her today I think while he is in town.

It's good to be home but my stupid mattress is already killing my back.  A new mattress is not in the cards right now so I don't know what to do :(

Taking kiddos to the doctor tomorrow and then it's party time for all the Hunter kids.  Guthrie, Sullivan and Penelope joint birthday party.  Bring on the cake!

Solid as a Rock

Quinny got her first official solid food today and seemed to like and definitely did better at eating it than her bigger sisters did at this age. 

I can't believe she is six months old already!  This year is flying by and I do NOT approve!

Just got back from our annual Utah trip and had a ton of fun.  I will update on all we accomplished.

Back to the heat and I HATE it but I'm so happy to be home and we missed our daddy lots and lots.

Seriously???

At 5 months:
your child is 12.875 pounds, and that is
at the 7th percentile for weight.

We met with the doctor too and he said she was fine.  Gaining slowly but still gaining.  I think this makes her my smallest so far.  I like her being so small but I also feel like chubbier babies are healthier ones?  Not sure on that.

She's sick again too.  Fun stuff.  Just a little cold but still frustrating.

And she's teething.  More fun stuff.

Feeling less than functional lately.  Gonna try to pull out of it and get some sorta spring cleaning done.  Feeling the need to wash baseboards, dust fans, and clean air filters...go figure.

Pictures!!!! Win!!!!

I had a profound thought to share today.  I changed my mind.  This blog needs some pictures.  Tomorrow's goal:  new pictures!!!!

Stay tuned for some beautimous Mackey fabulousness!  They will be picturified!

Defining moments.

Jim and I were talking today and we both came to the same conclusion.  This year is going to be a defining year for us.  So much has happened to us already and it's only April, and there are a lot of changes on the horizon as well that are "make or break" kind of changes.  Some might be bad, some might be good, it's all in the perspective I suppose.  Change is change and whether it's good or bad depends on what you do with it.

I'm trying to savor every moment of Quinn's babyhood too.  I don't want this first year of hers to be tainted with the bad memories.  I only want the good ones to shine through and I'm glad that I have time each day to just sit and love her and enjoy her smiles.

Inspiration

My beautiful little Ainsley is getting baptized this summer and I want to make her a special dress.  Everything just looks the same.  If you've seen any cute ideas for a baptism/communion dress, please share!
