My Little Monster

I usually don't do the cheesy posts, but I can't help it. I am so obsessed with Macey right now. When she was born, I bonded with her immediately. I wanted her in my hospital room the whole time and just couldn't get over her. Now 16 months later, I know why that bond was so strong....because she DRIVES ME CRAZY and I still love her :) Seriously, her little smile makes me smile in a way that nobody else's does...but she also makes me more mad than anyone else. Let me explain:

She is CRAZY. She wrestles with Ryan and body slams him to the floor. My house used to be so quiet until she started engaging Ryan in screaming contests (which make us laugh pretty hard). She climbs on, in, under (anything but around) everything. She can ransack cupboards, drawers, toy chests faster than anything. She pinches, pushes and then screams and tells on Ryan whenever he gets mad at her.

On the flip side, she gives the BEST hugs. snuggles right in. She gives kisses a lot. For every pinch she gives Ryan, she gives him a million kisses. (Ryan says multiple times a day, “Oh Macey just loves me.”) Her giggle is insanely contagious. She is such a dramatic girl...the other day she got her shots and the rest of the day she pointed to her legs and whimpered lol. Last but not least...she is just so darn fun. She has added a whole different dimension to our family and we laugh so hard because of her.

Here is her cute little self all dressed up the other day after church.

We got Ryan a race track for Christmas...which he found about 2 weeks ago. I told him we had to ask Santa if he could open it. For about a week after that, every time Scott came home from work Ryan screamed "Is it santa?". After running to the door and seeing it wasn't, he said, "Oh. You're not Santa. You're just daddy." Then hunched his shoulders and sulked. So we caved and gave it to him early lol. But Ryan and Macey will play with it forever so it was a gift worth giving! (although you can't see it, Ryan has the remote and they are zipping cars around in this picture)

Apparently nursery in our new ward is pretty fun. Macey wants DESPERATELY to go. In fact, she spends about 2 hours on sundays sitting outside the door knocking to get in. When I do actually get her to go to class with me she cries and begs to go out to the nursery door. When I picked Ryan up the other day I found him a little disheveled....as in hair a mess, shoes off, socks off, tie (or tag as he calls it) off, coat off...face beat red. He didn't want to leave. Sounds fun to me lol. Thank goodness for nursery.
