McGregor's Best Friend

Well...for those of you who have been faithfully checking our blog I do apologize! It has been a bit of a crazy month. We've been packing, moving, going to weddings, Ryan started his new job...etc. Needless to say things have been a bit hectic and I haven't been snapping pictures on a regular basis--partly because I didn't know where our camera was until just recently! 

Any how, as you can see from the pictures, McGregor and his cousin Shelby (or "--elby" as Mac affectionately calls her) have been spending lots of quality time together and having been loving every minute of it...well...almost every minute of it (see below)!!! They really do love each other though. The other day McGregor had a tummy ache and in the midst of crying out in pain...he kept calling out for "--elby"! They love to give each other hugs and Mac will make the strangest noises to get her to laugh. Watch out boys...for those of you interested in little Shelby...you are going to have to go through both her father and her cousin!

Just for fun

Every now and then Ryan will put Mac in the passenger seat when backing out of the driveway and boy does McGregor think he is BIG stuff! His little buddy Peyton was over last time and they just thought they were somethin' else!

One of the many joys in watching my baby become a little boy is seeing him learn how to interact with his surroundings and learn how to help mommy with things around the house. As I was watering plants the other day, Mac decided he wanted to help and ended up watering not only the flower beds but the entire front of the house, with the roof to boot! He also enjoyed a little taste test from the 'fountain of youth'! 

Aunt Aly, Aunt Linley and Cousin Charlie and Cousin Robert

Double the fun! 

Mac was too into his book to stop and smile for the camera!

Baby Charlie so precious! Being with the two babies made me sad Mac is really no longer a baby...except when they started crying at night!

Trying to get everyone awake and happy for a picture together is asking too much!!! We did the best we could! We missed the other Charlotta gals and "their cousins"!

We are FAM-ILY...

...I got all my 'granparents' with me! 

Ouch!!!

YES Mac dropped a can of sweetened condensed milk on his big toe. YES he cried all day. YES he started limping. (Hilarious!) YES he is going to lose his big toenail. YES he points to it everyday and says "Boo-Boo" but by this point he can no longer feel any pain so he gets mixed up on which toe he actually hurt and often times points to the wrong one!!! 

Welcome to life with boys...the first of many Boo Boo's I have a feeling!

Brush, Brush Brush your teeth...Brush them EVERYDAY!

Dr. Palmer (our family dentist) would be so proud. Not only have we started brushing McGregor's teeth but McGregor actually likes having them brushed and will always remind us if we forget. Every night after bath time, Mac pulls his little stool up to the sink, opens the medicine cabinet door, pulls the toothpaste out and hands it to Ryan or myself...waiting to have his teeth brushed! He quite enjoys the process!
