Makayla had Addison over to play the other day. It was her first time having a friend over… and both the little girls did wonderful! They made me laugh so hard with all of their silliness. There was screaming, laughing, fighting over toys, and just general, enjoyable little kid chaos.

Thanks for coming to play, Addison!
I know it has been a long, long time… I am going to post some cute pictures of the last couple months to try to catch up a little and then I am just going to jump back into our lives!

Other Cute Pictures:
Makayla has started picking up on so many things. I have found her doing stuff that I do even though I never showed her how. She has:
I gave her the ball but she got up into the chair and then sat all by herself! Now she won’t quit doing it!
Makayla had her 12 month checkup:
I can’t believe that my Kaylee-bug is already a year old!
Makayla had an amazing first birthday, even if things didn’t go as planned. Unfortunately, both she and I were quite sick but we survived and still tried to have a good time. I have WAY too many pictures of this too….

Random cute Maki pictures:
-Just a couple days short of her 10 month b-day Makayla started walking! She’s now got five teeth, loves to talk, is getting a little shy, says “ma-ma” when she’s upset, gives kisses and is the joy of my life! She was a little witch for Halloween!
Also, Brandon and I had the wonderful opportunity to be sealed to each other and Makayla. It was an amazing experience!
