Corn Dawgs Pumpkin Patch

We took Mac to a place in Loganville called Corn Dawgs. We only went to the pumpkin patch, but they have lots of different activities for older kids and adults. Mac did not have a very good nap before we went and finally fell asleep in the car as we pulled into the parking lot. Needless to say, he did not wake up happy and enjoy his 1st pumpkin patch experience...

A little mad about having to sit with pumpkins:

Now he feels better!

I had to join him in an attempt to get some pictures.

Finally a good picture!

I hope that next year he has a better experience!

Mac's First Haircut

For those of you that have seen Mac recently you all know that he has quite a combover on the top of his head. He lost the hair on the side and back of his head, but never lost the hair on top. Since I can't put any clips in his hair I was constantly having to push it "over" to keep it out of his eyes. When it was really windy outside we would laugh because it would just blow in the breeze! Mom and I took him to see Lydia and the combover is no longer :-( He did great sitting in my lap and stayed much more still than I expected. I did bring a container of his favorite cereal puffs that kept him occupied!

After with Lydia. He looks a little unsure...

Another Trip out West

Back in September Mom, Mac and I headed out west to visit her family. Our first stop was Las Vegas to meet my new little cousin Kinley! We stayed with my aunt and Kinley for several days while my uncle was on a golf trip. We thought Dani might need our help, but she had everything under control. Kinley is so cute and super sweet! Once her and Mac get a little older I think they will have lots of fun together on our family trips!

Here is Kinley in her favorite sleeping position:

We left Vegas and headed to California for a week. We started of the week staying with my mom's girlfriend Stella. Mac and I played with Stella during the day while my mom went with my aunt Mo to her doctors appointments in the city.

Here is Mac in his new travel highchair. It was a great purchase and fits over the back of any chair!

We ended our trip in Pasadena at my Uncle Pat and Aunt Joan's house. My Uncle Brian, Aunt Dani and Kinley drove over from Vegas and stayed with us also. It was a fun filled family weekend! Patrick and Joan hosted a cookout on Saturday. Here is a picture of my mom with all of her siblings: After a week and a half of traveling we finally headed home. Mac was worn out and fell asleep right before we were supposed to board the plane. Once on the plane he stayed awake for our entire trip home! I love going to California. Growing up I spent 4-5 weeks out there every summer, so going back feels like going home. This was Mac's first trip to Cali, but he slept better there than he does at home! He slept 12 hours at night and took at least 1.5 hours naps too! I think he really likes visiting too. We can't wait to see everyone again!

Mac's Baptism

I am obviously a little behind on our posts, so my goal is to try and get caught up in the next couple of weeks!

Mac was Baptized on September 5th at St. Lawrence Catholic Church here in Lawrenceville. Mac had a great support system at church with him. All of his grandparents, two of his great grandparents, two of his great aunts, one of his great uncles, his uncle Joseph and soon to be aunt Heidi, and our family friends the Toneys were all there with us. Our church does one service for all of the kids getting Baptized, so it was nice to not be stressed about Mac making too much noise during church! Here is how he stayed occupied during the service:

Chewing his frog chew toy:

Eating cereal puffs:

Chewing on his spoon:

Finally it was his turn and he did great. He had a really funny look on his face, but never cried!
