2-2.5!

Our girl is such a spirit. She fully embodies the entity of her red hair that is a fact.

Updates:
We found out that she will be having a baby brother, its hard during this time for me to help with Macy at night, so grandma will be moving in with us for awhile! We had to say goodbye to our favorite dayhome yet as they travelled to go to Ontario, we will miss Jess, Kennedy, Autumn and Jackson!

I ended up going off work early since it was really hard working with my pregnancy. Grandma got to move in with us so she can save up some money and help me out with the new baby. 

Some of our new favorites is Moana, peppa the pig, Elmo and Mickey Mouse clubhouse. She is really picking up her language development and she lets us know when she pooped or pees. She always loves singing and hopping around dancing to songs. She just constantly runs anywhere she goes and it’s hard to keep up with her haha. 

2 years old!

I can't believe our girl is 2 years old! She is such a sassy, funny, smart and creative kid! We are going into the twos expecting some sass and she already has red hair!

Favorite things

Frozen. She loves frozen so much, she doesnt call the movie by its name she calls it "go go", when “let it go” comes on she just screams singing gooooo. She even loves the movie so much if we aren’t watching it we came up with a rule that is the movie isnt on she can read frozen books instead. She decided one day she would need one of her books to go with us to the park. She played with her frozen book on the slide, it was so funny! 

She started a new dayhome and since she has started she has really developed her speech. She has learnt a lot of small words and can decipher between items. “Go away” is her favorite saying. She can be quite bossy and scream “ma” when we aren’t paying attention to her. She loves jumping on the trampoline so we got her one for inside too. She is OBSESSED with cats and sad to say one of these days her dad and I might have to get one. She loves playing with anything with buckles like her car seat. 

She likes to choose her own outfits and put on her clothing by herself. 

She loves to run. All the time anywhere it’s really hard for me to keep up with her!

She really caught onto the word NO, and is really sassy about it. She fully understands the meaning of it, she loves to slam doors, open them and close them by herself. 

She has been taking off her diaper a lot which makes me worried that she's ready for potty training. 

Trips and outings:

She went to Calloway park for the first time with our friends molly and emiley. She loved the train at Calloway, she wasn’t a fan of a tiny car ride. 

We went and visited our cousins in Calgary and had a huge water fight with them! 

Her birthday party was wild. We had to make a back up plan since we couldn't get the church doors open so we used their little shelter outside. Everyone still had fun making elsa crowns and sven deer ears, we had lots of help from our friends at her party to help set up and make it work for her birthday. All the kids had fun and loved running around, since there was so many toddlers we had to break up fights a lot over toys. 

17 months-22 months

Sorry I havent had the most frequent uploads lately. Life just gets so busy! Macy is currently 22 almost 23 months and time has flown! 

Updates:

SO much has changed with our little girl! Macy got glasses, she has almost all her teeth within this amount of time, she got her first haircut, she is talking up a storm and learning new words every single day! All throughout this time she has still been in 12-18 month clothing and in size 4 diapers. She has been on lots of adventures, with grandma, mommy, daddy and with all of our friends. She loves going to the park and loves to go down the tallest slide at the park. She loves to body slam onto the bed, be chased, run.....run all the time. She loves to hug, and kiss. Her favorite person by far is definitely her daddy anytime she sees a truck she runs up to the driver side yelling daddy! A huge update is in May I found out that Macy is going to be a big sister at the end of january! 

funny things:

Our girl is such a character. Her favorite movie is definitely frozen and her favorite song is baby shark. She is still so attached to puppy and I have to try and sneak him to get him washed at least 1 time a week (so gross)! She loves playing with her toy stroller, she loves to help clean up the house, and she loves splashing as much as she can in the bath! Some funny moments I remember during this time is I taught her how to say "coochie coochie coo", one day she took off her diaper and started to play with her lady bits while saying "coochie coochie coo" although it was terrible, I thought that was the most hilarious thing ever. She has a very strange liking to brushing her teeth and she could do it all day everyday if she could. She figured out how to put deodorant on but instead she puts it on her neck. She does this whine that makes me laugh that sounds like "uhhh huhhhhh". She is quite the thrill seeker and enjoys to climb up on nearly anything even if it makes me almost have a heart attack. 

When her auntie was down visiting her she put vaseline in her hair. We had to come together as a team to find out how to get all the vaseline out of her hair and it took about a week for it to fully come out. We found out that if you put cornstarch in the hair it absorbs the oil of the vaseline then you have to wash her hair with a degreaser dish soap to fully get it out. 

When she is way to quiet in a room by herself, we should definitely be scared. Macy dumped and spread out cumin AND pepper all over the kitchen. 

She loves to try to carry anything that is larger than her to show us her strength, whether its a super heavy hydroflask water bottle or if its a wicker basket the size of her at the phsyio clinic. 

She has been putting her puppy to bed by tucking him with a blanket and kissing him goodnight its just the cutest thing. 

Anytime we are on the phone with someone or through a drive thru. She always has to tell them hi and bye regardless if they are talking to her or not. 

16 months

Update: Our crazy chicken is 16 months! She still had 0 teeth, she learned new words like bubbles, nana, hi, bye! She learned how to brush her hair on her own. She is pretty much running! She is currently in 12-18 month clothing and size 4t in shoes! Lastly, her favorite food is anything dipped in ketchup!
Trips and outings: We had an emergency trip to the island to go see Dad's sister since she was in rough shape. It was a really rough trip, we had a flat tire when it was snowing badly, when we got to the island the power was out from a wind storm for the whole time. Our favorite parts of our trip was going to see Mom's sister, auntie kotarah, she enjoyed playing games with us, and we had a turkey dinner for christmas. We got to go on a ferry for the first time, and enjoyed talking with lots of other people on the ferry. Another highlight of our trip was the attendant at the hotel we stayed at, he truly made us feel like family, and made us feel right at home. He was great to bond with and chat about life with.

He let us make a mess of the travel brochures, take lots of extra oranges for Macy, etc.
We also celebrated new years playing games with our friends molly, brett and emiley. It was fun everybody played all night long!  The toddlers made it to new years better than the parents!

15 months!

month update: Just a few days after she turned 14 months she officially took her first steps on her own! The next day she was walking on her own without so much convincing and she chooses to walk whenever she can! She says hi, bye and waves every time she hears it! She learnt how to go down the stairs by herself as well as up the stairs! Her favorite thing to do is throw her toys off the banister to the landing! Her favorite dog is definitely ruff and now that she is walking ruff is finally warming up to her, she loves to cuddle her! She can officially play peek-a-boo with her hands, she loves only walking, and holding hands while she explores the new world through a different view! Changing her diaper is like being part of a WWE match, and she is so busy playing, making messes, and giggling all the time!
Trips and outings:



We hung out with our friends Ashley, Aubrey and little sammy again! Macy loved cuddling with little sammy and shared toys with Aubrey. Macy really enjoyed playing in their ball pit, and bouncing aubrey in sammys bouncy chair.










We went to our friend Ryker's birthday party at the collicut. They had their party in the fieldhouse, they had a bouncy castle, tons of little push cars, baby walkers, hockey sticks, hula hoops etc. The sky was the limit with how much stuff to have. Macy really enjoyed the walkers, and the bouncy castle. She loved bouncing on it and sliding off of it! She tried her first vegan cake and it was a hit, she had it all over her! She got excited and clapped every single time Ryker opened one of his presents. Their party was a huge hit for Macy!

We got to meet the grinch and had a photoshoot with him at a petvalu. It was supposed to be for dogs but we just couldn't resist meeting the grinch! Macy got to wear a dress that mommy wore when she was around her age for the picture!

We went to the festival of trees with grandma and our friends Molly and Emiley. We got to go view the trees (although not good with toddlers that want to grab everything). We painted a birdhouse, we got to decorate a tiny tree with tinsel, and we got a santa hat with her name on it in glitter! It was super busy but we had a lot of fun with our friends!

She had lots of sleepovers with her grandma, and we she now has a new adopted grandpa. Grandma's neighbour Laurence, she loves to cruise the halls of grandma's apartment holding his hand!

14 months!

month update: She still has 0 teeth, forever teething! Still not walking on her own, but loves to push her walkers and hold onto one hand and walk! She still loves her white puppy, she loves to dance, she is beginning to "talk" more. We had a bad month of illness in our house and she was hit as well, but that never got her down. She was still happy as ever even though she wasnt feeling well!
Trips and outings:
Macy went trick or treating for the first time! She didn't fully understand why we were saying hi and bye so quickly. She thought if we were going to their door we should go inside! After a few houses Macy finally got the concept and she got excited every time she got a goodie in her treat bag. Her dad and I helped walk her house to house to ring door bells for candy! She was so proud of her loot as well, was swimming in it when we dropped off grandma at her place.
We also went to the abbey centre with Dad, we went up the big kid structure with both myself and her dad! We took her down the slides and she enjoyed climbing up to the top of the structure. She wanted to chase the bigger kids, but couldn't keep up!

13 months!

Month update:
She still has 0 teeth! We are beginning to work on the walking, and she took a few steps by herself! Her favorite toy is her white puppy that aunt geminie and uncle norman got for her! She has gotten quite cuddly this month and will snuggle up to anyone! She learned to start sharing her food with the dogs (bad habit) and with anyone that is trying to feed her!
Trips and outings:
She went to the pumpkin patch for the first time! It was chilly out and she was teething so she didn't enjoy it quite as much! But we loved seeing what kind of activities were at the patch! We enjoyed our time with our friends Char, Ivy and Ryker at the patch!
We also got to hang out with our friends Ashley, Aubrey and got to meet little Sammy! The girls played quite well together, they were a little bit shy, but enjoyed each others company!
