Mother's Day

Macey is growing up so fast! She turned two months old on May 10th, and I just can't believe it! Mikayla absolutely adores her little sister. She asks to hold her all the time. She is constantly giving her kissess and hugs. She will say, "Macey is so cute," or "I love her little much!" The reason Mikayla says that she loves Macey "a little much" is because Macey is so little. Mikayla says that once Macey gets bigger, she will love her "big much!" Too cute!

For Mother's Day, we went with my family to the Keg Steakhouse in Fort Worth for lunch. I found a ladybug in my salad, so I ended up get it for free. I was told they are good luck, and I guess it's better than finding a roach in my salad! We met Adam's mom and family for dinner at Texas de Brazil in downtown. It was delicious and bug-free! Mikayla had fun playing with the red/green place-cards that indicate if you are ready for food. She was sticking it to her forehead, and laughing hysterically. Macey was her typical perfect-baby self the whole time. She just slept and then watched us the entire dinner.

Macey is really starting to smile a lot now. She will react to me if I am talking to her, and I can get her to smile. Her hair sticks straight up in the air like a mohawk. I think it's adorable, and it's a good thing I do, because it will NOT sit down! I refuse to put products in a baby's hair, so I will not put hairspray or gel on it. After bathtime the other night, though, Adam made the best of it and combed it all together into a better mohawk. It was hilarious, and Mikayla got a kick out of it, too.

On the 21st, Mikayla was running in the lunchroom of her daycare. She tripped and fell, busting her head open. The daycare called Adam, who was at work. He immediately called me, and I rushed up to her daycare. When I arrived, she had calmed down, and she was sitting on the daycare director's lap in the entryway of the daycare. As soon as she saw me, she fell apart. She was covered in blood, and her blonde-white hair was streaked with red. I held her as she sobbed on my shoulder, and I took her to Harris-HEB Hospital Emergency Room. She went through waves of crying and calming down the entire time we were there. The nurses were really nice, and I had to hold the lidocaine-filled cotton ball on her head for 20 minutes to numb the cut. Once it was cleaned, we could see the cut more clearly. It was about an inch long about two inches above her right ear. The doctor came in after it was numb and glued the cut with DermaBond. Adam came to meet me at the hospital so that he could take her home, and I could return to school. The nurses gave Mik four Dora stickers for being such a brave little girl, and Adam and I joked that those were the most expensive stickers she will ever receive!
