Happy Father's Day!!

I have been blessed with the world's greatest daddy, but my husband is not far behind.  My curiosity to see him as a father was one of the reasons I wanted to have children.  Mike you have not let us down.  Mac is the luckiest boy in the whole wide world.  We will love you forever!  Here is a video my bestie help me make for him this Father's day. 

Happy Father's Day to all the amazing men out there!!

 

Father like Son

Mac came out looking like his daddy 100%.  Everyday he acts more and more like him. 

Here are some of the Mini Mike highlights:

* Mac loves his books- He loves looking at the animals.  He has even begun labeling them and making their sounds.  His favorite by far is the DUCK.  The ducks come and visit Mac at his daycare everyday and we go to the many ponds in our neighborhood to see them weekly.  As soon as Mac can tell which way we are going he starts saying "duck" "duck".

*At daycare we have caught Mac many times playing with blocks while the other kids were dancing or getting loved on by their teachers.  Mike hopes we have another engineer in the family.

*Mac loves loves his daddy's office (Mike works from home).  He squeals when we let him go in there.  He loves to look at the animal mounts on the wall too.  He will point and say "deer".

Almost two weeks ago Mac started walking and now he is climbing ladders just like daddy!  We are very excited about Father's Day around here!!!

One more day and I am a stay at home mom for the summer!!  We will be traveling everywhere this summer. I can't wait!!!

 

Mr. Independent

Mac has finally taken off with walking!!! I can't believe how big he is. This video is great because you can see how proud and surprised he was about walking. He had taken his first step or two the weekend before, but Sunday was when he finally let go of my finger.  We were all so happy and excited.  We made sure Mac knew how proud we were of him.  Don't you just want to eat him up in his little tank top.  I am obsessed with those from baby Gap.  Those are on sale right now BTW.  They are perfect for this insane heat in Texas.

Mac has also started to show lots of interest in using his spoon and fork. This is a good and bad thing. The other morning Mike was out of town which means I am racing around our house like a crazy person. Major props to single parents!!! I get us both dressed and Mac has 15 minutes to eat breakfast. I pick big boy oatmeal quick and easy ummm wrong!  Mac refused to eat the last half with me spoon feeding. He wanted to use the spoon by himself.  I was proud and irritated at the same time.  We did not have time to let him feed himself, get really messy, and then have to change his clothes.  The compromise was me doing hand over hand with a couple of bites and we were out the door for the day. 
In this video I love how hard he is focusing on sticking the food with his fork.  This was at dinner on Monday night.  He is his father's son for sure, but one heck of a mommas boy right now.  I am loving every second of it because I know it won't always be this way.

We are going to the beach on Saturday and then there is a big Memorial day party in our neighborhood on Monday.  4 more days of work for me and then I am out for the summer!!! 
Happy Friday everyone!
