Going, Going, Going!

Our little beauty just turned 6 months! Time is seriously flying by. She had her check up at the doctor and now weighs 14lbs 9oz. She may be little and petite for her age, but she has the biggest personality and has become very vocal lately. =) I don't think its possible to ever get bored with her around
She started crawling at 5 months 1 week and since then has not stopped. 1 week after she started crawling she started pulling herself up on things like chairs, couches, tables, walls, pretty much EVERYTHING! She has also learned how to climb the stairs. She (with us right by her side) climbed the first 9 stairs of our stairwell on her own. I have to keep my eyes on her at all times cuz she has snuck to the stairs and climbed a few without me looking and that has freaked me out so now its time for the gate, I just cant believe how crazy she is. She is so young to be doing all this, but I knew when she was in my belly that she would be a very active, fiesty little girl.

She loves playing with her toys and her friends. We have a couple neighbors that have little girls Makayla's age, and its so fun getting them together to play. She really is one of a kind and we love her to pieces!

California Love

Robs family goes to Carlsbad every year and has a little family reunion with all his relatives. We haven't been able to go the past 2 years, so it was great that we could make it this year. It was a blast! Too long goes by that all the family gets together. I have been able to go home many many times these past few months, but haven't gone to the beach and man do I miss it. We love living in AZ, but it doesn't compare to living so close to the beach. My whole life I've grown up so close and have been able to go whenever I wanted, and after spending a week there at the beach, i've come to realize I want to live there again so bad. I know its just wishful thinking, since its a little too expensive to live, but I'm determined to live there again someday. =) All in all we had a wonderful time with the family. Makayla got to put her feet in the ocean for the first time and got to do some more swimming that she loves. She also this past week has learned how to crawl. Its crazy the past month she has been swaying back and fourth, but at 5 months and 1 week she now can move her hands with her legs. We also had to move her crib mattress lower, since she can now pull herself up to stand. I found her in her crib almost falling out cuz she had pulled herself up over and was almost hanging off. She is so full of energy, and it may be a lot sometimes, but i love it and she's our little crazy Makayla us at the Padres game. They won!
