Off to the Races!


Last weekend Bryce, Macy, and I traveled to Lexington to visit Bryce's family, celebrate October birthdays, and go to Keeneland to watch horse races. Macy isn't old enough to get excited about the horses, but they did catch her attention as they ran by. We had fun dressing her up too!


Gotta love the giant bow!


In addition to a trip to the racetrack, Macy got to spend some quality time with her cousins. It's fun to see the little ones together and stare as they try to figure each other out.


Cyndie also completed her quilt for Macy, so we had to document that too. It's beautiful!

3 months old!

On Wednesday Macy turned 3 months old! It's been a lot of fun to see her discovering the world around her.

No appointment this month, so I'm guessing:

Length: 24.5-25 inches
Weight: 13 lbs (according to our bathroom scale)


Clothing size: Macy is wearing mostly 0-3 month clothes. Some brands of 3 month clothes are small enough for her, but some are still too long.

Diet: Still breastfeeding. She eats about 3-4 ounces every 2-3 hours. I'm hoping to try rice cereal after her 4-month appointment in November.

Sleep: We've fluctuated between waking up once and twice a night for feedings. A few times Macy has slept 7-hour stretches and last night she had her first 8-hour stretch! I was thrilled. We're attempting earlier bedtimes due to nighttime fussiness. Macy also needs to be convinced to take naps during the day (unless we're in the car). I guess life is too exciting while the sun is shining!


Development: Macy is doing much better with tummy time and holds her head up well. She sucks on her hands often. Still no rolling yet, but she can really rock her lower body when she gets upset. Macy is smiling and cooing often. She experiments with vowel sounds and "guh" sounds.

Likes: Baths, staring out the window, standing with support, stuffed Lamaze inchworm

Dislikes: Outfit changes, evenings (we hope an earlier bedtime fixes this), long car trips, waking up from naps

Look how long I am!

Poops...I did it again.

Well, after nearly 3 months we finally had our first diaper blow-out. Macy was wearing the most appropriate outfit for the event too! So ironic we just had to share...

Visit to the Pumpkin Patch


This weekend we took advantage of the above-average temperatures and traveled to Tuttle Orchards to visit their pumpkin patch. This year we spent our time searching for pumpkins with the Millis family. Tuttle's has lots of other fun activities like corn mazes and hay rides that Macy can enjoy when she's a bit older. They also sell fall treats like caramel apples, fudge, and cider slushies, which were perfect on an 85-degree day!


Bryce found the perfect pumpkin for us!

Of course we had to pose our little
punkin with our pumpkins!












Do these pumpkins make me look fat?
