Quick update...

...because I know you're ALL wondering, "What in the world happened to Brandi?" but mostly I know you're thinking, "It's about time for some more pictures of Macy!"

Well, a couple of weeks ago I cancelled the internet option on my BlackBerry, and right around the same time, my laptop crashed and died, so I have not been on the computer checking my email or facebook much at all since then because I'm not too thrilled about having to come use this big honkin' desktop.

But, I guess all this came at a good time and maybe it was a good thing to go cold turkey on computer/BlackBerry use because I was needing to do that anyway. I've been needing to try to structure my days more and do more things around the house and spend more time with Macy and all...

Things are looking up though as far as the laptop. Yes, I lost EVERYTHING on my hard drive... pictures, files, iTunes, you name it. I really don't want to think about it all. But fortunately we had a lot of pictures backed up on an external hard drive.. the one thing I'm mostly worried about right now is my iTunes. Gotta figure something out. Burin totally reformatted the computer and I think he is going to order another hard drive or something? I don't know. Hopefully I will get some pictures up soon though!

I think this one calls for celebration

The first few times it was no big deal. I would dutifully take my lotion, lip gloss, and anti-bacterial out of the little purple makeup bag in my purse, put it in a Ziploc, and, like any obedient airline passenger, place it in the bin for TSA to inspect under the x-ray machine at the airport. I flew so many times between LAX and JAN last year that after a while, that Ziploc eventually became my permanent makeup bag. Switching those liquids from one bag to the other would be one less thing to worry about when traveling.

But somewhere along the way, I misplaced the little purple makeup bag, and I kept putting off looking for a new one because, well, the Ziploc worked fine, I guess. I mean, sure, it wasn't pretty, and no, I never took it out of my purse in public, but still, I just never put in the effort to get a new one. But yesterday, in the glorious land of Target, I finally got one. After carrying my powder and lip gloss around in a dirty, beat up Ziploc in my purse for a year - I think this calls for celebration.

Orlando Trip

Two 30-year-old chicks, airports, hotels, rental cars, Cheesecake Factory, Mickey Mouse, American Idol Experience, Tower of Terror, roller coasters, House of Blues, souvenir shopping, Universal Studios, funnel cakes, The Ugly Truth, TGIFriday's, water rides (squishy, wet socks and shoes anyone?), The Cat in the Hat, Super Target (yes, Target!)...

That's the stuff fun trips are made of.

Four Months

Macy had her four-month checkup today. Here's the stats, because I know you all want to know.

Weight: 14 lbs 12 oz (2 lbs heavier than two months ago)
Height: 24 1/2 in (1 1/2 inches longer than two months ago)
Head: 40 cm (err.. no change..)

Sorry Valerie, they didn't write down the percentiles this time!

What has Macy been up to?

What else do I have to post about?

Chillin' in tha crib.


Tummy time.


First spoon feeding. Yes, more ended up on her than in her tummy.

Bumbo time.

(Have I mentioned that Macy is potty-trained? Yes, that's right. Every time she sits in her Bumbo, she goes poo. I. kid. you. not.)

And finally, she found her feet.

Her First Fourth

Macy is terribly excited about celebrating her first Fourth of July!



Happy Independence Day!

We don't feed this child soap, I swear...

...but she does like to bubble.
