No autographs please :)

Maybe I should say no hand prints since she's too young for autographs :)
Our family was interviewed in the January issue of Mankato Magazine, so we thought we would share it with all of you.

2 Month Check-Up

Macie had her two week check up yesterday and everything looked great! She had to have three shots.... she was a VERY sad girl! Her height is 23 3/4 (93%) and her weight is 13.8 (99%).

We also went to visit daycare - we went to see the room she will be in, meet one of her teachers and drop off all her stuff (diapers, bottles, extra clothes, ect). Pretty sure my eyes started to tear up... it's a given MONDAY IS GOING TO STINK! Mommy is NOT ready to drop her off at daycare! She is going out at our school center "baby raiders", my niece Taylor goes there and she told me she would watch over Macie for me - even though she is two rooms away :). But that was very sweet of her to offer to be the big cousin.

We hope 2009 is wonderful for everyone! We are pretty sure there is no way 2009 could possibly top our 2008... we became husband and wife... we moved into our beautiful home... and last but of course not least, had our amazing little girl - Macie Leigh! Wishes of a great 2009 from the Evans family!!!

Macie's 1st Christmas cont..

We had two great days of Christmas!
Christmas Eve we were at Grandma & Grandpa Hewitt's - we had a great lunch and afternoon with everyone....then we were off to church in our little red dress :).... a very good day!
Christmas Day we were off to Grandma & Grandpa Evans - we spent the after noon with Grandma Nancy's family and that evening with immediate family. ...again great food & a very good day!

Macie gave mom & dad a great Christmas gift.....SLEEP :)
Christmas Eve she slept over NINE hours!!! Then the next two night she went to bed at 11 & 10... slept till 5:30, went right back to bed and slept till 8:30! Maybe she is getting into a schedule? I hope so because we only have one more week at home and then mommy is back to work and Macie goes to daycare :( I am starting to get nervous... but I know she will be just fine (daddy keeps reminding me)!

Last night mom and dad went on their 1st date since Ms. Macie came into our life. We went and saw the movie Marley & Me, it was a very good movie! Macie stayed home with Katie... believe it or not I only called once (OK I text once too :)) but we know she was very well taken care of.

**After the 2nd day of Christmas....Such a tired girl

1st Christmas

We had our first Christmas today with my mom's side, it was a blast! With the weather being so yucky my grandma, aunt & three of my cousin's came to town yesterday and stayed at my mom's. Macie and I went in and hung out and played games (Macie was on grandma's team for cards) - Katie and I won Cranium!!!

Today the rest of the family came and we had a very nice day! Macie of course got tons of attention and very nice gifts (daddy and mommy did too). We do gage gifts and daddy got a really nice pink Barbie fishing pole and net... Macie will really like that once she is old enough to go fishing with her daddy (thanks Jeff).

We go to Grandma and Grandpa Hewitt's on Christmas Eve and then we go to Grandma and Grandpa Evans Christmas Day. I will make sure and post more pictures, her Christmas dress is so cute :)

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

Tummy Time

Thought I would post some pictures of tummy time!

Oh tummy time is so much work....had to take a rest

1st Babysitters

We are all still doing great... excited for Macie's first Christmas - we start our celebrations this coming weekend!

Mom had her 6 week check up on Friday and Macie had her 1st "non-family" babysitter(s). Thanks Kristin and Kelsey!!! It's hard to think that I used to babysit these young ladies and now they are freshmen in college and babysitting my daughter - wow!

Smiles

I can't believe how much Macie is changing - five weeks goes by fast! She is starting to smile more and more, I think she is starting to see farther away... oh and she is starting to make more noises too! I thought I would post this picture of her......SHE'S SO CUTE :)

Misc...

Well I am done Christmas shopping except for two gift certificates I have to pick up - ya! My cousin Katie and I went up to St. Cloud on Monday and I got so much done! Almost everything is wrapped and under the tree...usually I am done Christmas shopping by like the beginning of November, so this is really late for me. We had a really good time - we went to a great store up there called "crafts direct", went to eat at Bonanza (I love that place) and then shopped till we dropped. Well this mom must have shopped a little too much, went to the doctor today and I have a sinus infection - uggg

Thought I would post this picture of Ms. Macie sleeping I thought it was so cute... She loves to sleep with her arms up, how weird?!
