Makayla Jo: Finally an update!

Okay, so it has been way too long since our last post. So in an effort to avoid any further tongue lashings by Grandmas or Grandpas here you go. Our last post was a little over a month ago and a lot has happened since that time. MJ is now 3 months old and sooo much fun. She is no longer the little blob that just wiggles on her back , eats, sleeps, and poops. She is beginning to become "self aware." Recently she found her hands and while she doesn't quite get how to use them yet, she sure does try hard. We often see her trying to stick her pacifier in her mouth... except its upside down and backward and is hitting her forehead or cheek. She is also discovering her precious little voice and has begun "talking" a lot.

At the beginning of March Mommy and MJ flew to Baker City for a week with her family and friends back home. MJ did amazing on the plane, fussed a little but for the most part she just slept. MJ got to meet all her Baker family including Great Grandma and Grandpa Henry, Grandpa Dennis, Aunt Josie and cousins Jade and Jocelyn, and Aunt Stephanie.

Daddy met Mommy and MJ in Portland a few days later where we spent a week with the Hailey and Leonard sides of the family. There were so many new people for MJ to meet that I couldn't possibly list them all. Grandma Leonard threw a wonderful baby shower and Grandpa Hailey had a Hailey family get together that was so much fun!

We also spent part of our Oregon trip house hunting! We looked at around 12 houses and ended up falling in love with one in Oregon City. We put in an offer and found out a few days later that someone had outbid us and we lost the house. However, we were ecstatic to find out last week that the house was back on the market so we resubmitted an offer and things are looking promising for us so far.

Well, that's it for now, here's some pictures of recent events.
