Mommy's little helper

Maci has turned into quite the little helper lately! Everything I do, she insits on either helping or doing it by herself - whether it's getting dressed, brushing her hair...

washing dishes...

riding her bike...

making cupcakes...

cracking open peanuts...

you get the picture! She has to do EVERY THING all by herself! It's been so much fun lately watching all the things she can do by herself! She's growing up so fast and actually reasons with me now! If she wants to do something by herself she says "me do it just a little bit k mom"!

March Madness (-:

I'm a little behind on this! Lots has happened in March, Maci got a new swing set, she's turned into a pony riding pro, she finally stopped wearing diapers (except at night) and we celebrated St. Patty's Day & my birthday (uggg)! Here are a few of my favorite pics this month:

I just put this one up to show how Maci likes to dress herself these days! It's a little hard to see because she's trying to escape outside but she's wearing green & blue pajama bottoms that are much too small, red Elmo slippers (which are too small), a pink tutu, a red Dora shirt and a pink hoodie! She told me that was what she was wearing today. I think she would wear the tutu every day if I'd let her because she thinks it's a pretty dress... Maci got a little mask from New Orleans! She chases me screaming MEOW when ever she wears it! It cracks me up because she can't even see out of it so she runs into things all over the place but never stops screaming meow and pretends that she has claws!

Maci's Nana & Papa came by to check out the finished swing set and ended up playing a game of chase! Maci would tell my mom to RUN! and my dad would chase them all over the place trying to tickle her. They were exhausted but Maci was happy! She has them wrapped! (Also if you notice, once again she is in slippers... that's her shoe of choice these days (: )

My family went to eat dinner in Durango for my birthday & of course we HAD to go to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory after! Maci loved the huge bear that sits outside! I just thought she looked so cute and grown up! She informed everyone that "me is really cute"! My dad told her not to get such a big head!

Monkey see, monkey do!

Maci recently received a new swing set (a.k.a. mansion) from her Nana & Papa! She was so excited to play on everything! The first day it was put up - she insisted on having a "treat" on her new picnic table! I can't believe that I have a daughter big enough to play on something like this, where does the time go?
