Over the past few weeks Mac has taken a real interest in Little Bear...he wants to sleep, eat, play and ride in the car with him. It has been really sweet to watch how he loves on him...it is the first thing that he grabs when he wakes up in the mornings and after his naps. The best part is watching him give Little Bear squeeze-ums and kisses...so funny! Dumptrucks are another favorite right now...we had a playdate with some friends at the park this week and that was pretty much all he was interested in...between dumptrucks, legos and any kind of ball...he is all boy!!
Mac also had his first night out this past weekend!! Charlie and I celebrated our anniversary and Mac spent the night at Mimi and Pop Pop's house. I think they had just as much fun as Mac did!!! He did great and was worn out when we picked him up! We were thrilled that he did so well...now we know we can do it again!!!
My mom got Mac this "bouncy" a little while ago in hopes that Mac would wear himself out and take longer naps:) thanks for the effort mom, but nothing seems to wear him out yet!! Usually he just wants to grab the seat and make the music play, but today he decided that he wanted to actually sit in the seat. He went on like this for about 10 minutes...there were a couple times when I thought he may break it!! Who knows....maybe it will wear him out eventually! *yes, in case you are wondering... this contraption is huge and Charlie has put my mom on toy restriction..
Ready for bed...
Mac had his 9 month check up this week and the boy is definitely growing! He is now 21 lbs and 29 1/2 in...in case you didn't know, his weight gain is exciting! Our little boy was a little on the skinny side at his last visit. Our doc gave us the go ahead to be liberal with his food, and it worked b/c he has gained 4 lbs since his 6 month visit. He said he is right on track and looking great.
*Later that day Mac had a little run- in with the dvd player..note the small bruise under his eye. Not much of a war wound...but nontheless his first.
We had a fun playdate today with a group from the neighborhood. It was actually hosted by Fisher Price..the mommy who hosted it got 4 free new toys and all the kids got to check them out. There were about 10 babies (Mac's age and younger)...I think I was more overwhelmed than Mac. He did great...he found some bouncy balls and was set. Tomorrow Mac will get his first taste of his daddy's fantasy football obsession...I think Charlie has already made plans for them to watch the game and cookout!!! Hopefully Mac will love it as much as his daddy does!
On the move..
Waving to the doggie and everyone at the cookout..
Loving the swing!!
Mac enjoyed some family fun this past weekend: A trip to the farmer's market with Mimi and Pop Pop, a cookout with Charlie's extended family, fun in Chippy and EB's pool, a fun dinner with Uncle Benny and Aunt Cici and plenty of swinging in our new swing!! It was a busy, but fun-filled weekend.
Everyday Mac is doing something new that makes us smile...he is now waving bye-bye (opening and closing his hand..i personally think this is the cutest trick that he has learned), looking at our pictures hanging on the wall in our bedroom and actually saying "mama" and putting his hand on my pic, trying to say doggie (sounds more like "geegee"), telling him to go get his ball and he crawls right over to his toy bin and pulls it out, and if you hold him and say "mac give me squeeze-ums" he hugs you as hard as he can.....that one makes your heart melt. He is getting so big and more and more fun everyday.
