New Orleans, the beach, and 3 months...oh my!

The past few weeks have been busy, but that appears to be the way Macy likes it. This active youngin' wants to always be on the go and looking out at what is happening around her! Her first ever vacation was this last Memorial Day weekend. After sleeping like an angel through the three and a half hour car ride, Macy was rearing to go around New Orleans...or not. She slept for 2 more hours while being strolled along the streets! It could have been the 95 degree heat that put her into a sleepy daze. Once she woke up, she decided that she was too hot for comfort so everyone headed back to the hotel for some downtime. Later on that night Ma and Pa Gravelle set out in search of a good restaurant with little Macy in tow. It was so busy that they ended up waiting outside a restaurant on Bourbon Street to get a table. Just then, a homeless man who was short a few front teeth decided he wanted to touch Macy. Mama Bear came roaring out when, after being asked three times to leave the sleeping baby alone, the man got mad and started yelling and approaching the stroller with force! Just in time, we were able to slip into the restaurant and evade all of the crazies who were out to party on Bourbon.

The next weekend was also busy, but not so crazy. Macy got to meet 7 of her "uncles" from Washington! Nate's guy friends decided to take a weekend to come stay at a beach house down here in Pensacola Beach. Despite the noise and craziness when they were all over for dinner, Macy proved that she can sleep like a champ and passed out on her bouncy chair curled up in a ball. So cute! The next day we all headed down to the beach to get some relief from the 106 degree temperature in Milton. Macy stayed cool in the shade in her little beach tent while the rest of us roasted in the sun and played in the surf. It will be so much fun when Macy can play in the waves and the sand too!


As of yesterday, June 6th, Macy is 3 months old! This little infant (no longer a newborn) was caught playing with her stuffed animals and even trying to eat one poor puppy's ear. Her new favorite things to do are to chew on her hands, your hands, or anything within reach, and scream. Her lovely little newborn coo has turned into a loud screeching squeal of delight. When mommy and daddy are out of eyesight her screams get louder and a lot more frequent. The second we come back into view she just smiles :) Also, Macy has been practicing her "stand-ups" as is building up lots of strength. She hates tummy time with a passion, so mommy and daddy have been getting creative with different ways to work this little baby out. She LOVES it!
